HELLO, IT’S ME
GLADYS CARMINA
It all started with people asking, «Did you make that?» I could only say, «Yes, I made it!»—and I wanted to share that joy with others. Happiness is Handmade is a welcoming, safe space for crafters to come together and celebrate the joy of making.
Love brought me to Vancouver, but it was crochet and crafting that kept me connected to my roots and my family back in Mexico.
Crafting at home is comforting—but I realized crafting doesn’t have to be lonely. That’s why Happiness is Handmade was born: to create a space where busy adults can rediscover their creativity, make friends, and craft together.
