Crafting with my hands has been nothing short of transformative for me. It’s more than just work—it’s a source of personal freedom and immense joy. Through macramé and crochet, I’ve discovered a way to express myself, support my dreams, and carve out a space where I feel empowered and independent. This craft has given me the ability to stand on my own, contribute to my family, and find happiness in creating something beautiful that connects with people around the world.
I have always loved working with my hands—there’s something magical about turning simple threads into intricate, beautiful creations. The hand-knotting techniques I use, like macramé and crochet, connect me to a tradition that has been passed down through generations in India. These techniques not only allow me to express my creativity but also fill my life with joy. It’s deeply fulfilling to know that my work resonates with people around the world, showcasing the rich artistry and craftsmanship of India.
Over the years, I’ve created a variety of items: delicate bags, elegant table runners, stunning wall hangings, unique women’s dresses, and beautiful cushion overlays. Each piece is a labor of love, requiring patience, care, and an eye for detail. Some products take time to perfect, I feel supported and encouraged to experiment and grow. This collaboration has helped me refine my skills, giving me the confidence to take on new challenges and achieve beautiful results.
As the eldest sibling in a family of seven, I’ve always felt a strong sense of responsibility. Growing up, I knew our family’s financial situation meant I couldn’t ask for extra money to buy the things I wanted. Now, through this work, I have the freedom to shop for what I love without burdening my parents—and that sense of independence is priceless.
Beyond meeting my own needs, this work allows me to support my family. Being able to contribute to their well-being fills me with pride and a deeper sense of purpose. It’s not just about the financial freedom; it’s about the confidence I’ve gained through this journey. I am m motivated to dream big, build a brighter future for myself and my loved ones, and show that incredible things are possible with hard work, dedication, and creativity.
