Our story
Hi, I’m Amanda.
And I built the craft space I wish I had.
Craft & Gather was born from burnout, a glue gun, and the quiet belief that women deserve to make things just for the joy of it.
For years, I did what a lot of us do — I turned every passion into a project, every hobby into a hustle. I loved creating. But somewhere between the to-do lists and the pressure to monetize everything, the joy quietly slipped out the back door.
Sound familiar?
I’m a mom. I have ADHD. I work alongside my daughter Savannah (she’s 12, brilliant, and absolutely will not let me be boring). And somewhere in the middle of all the striving, I realized something: I missed making things just because. No deadline. No profit margin. No Pinterest-perfect result required.
So I built Craft & Gather.
What We Believe
Creativity is sacred
It doesn’t have to be productive to matter. Making something with your hands is enough — full stop.
Women deserve rest
Not just sleep. Real, soft, playful rest. The kind where you laugh and make a mess and leave feeling lighter.
Joy doesn’t need a reason
You don’t need to be good at crafting. You don’t need to finish. You just need to show up..
