Where to find 6 DIY Crafts For Men And Women - DIY Gift Guide

Hi There..... Are you ready for a whole new kind of gift guide? Are you a fan of DIY crafts?


Well, at least on my blog it’s a new type of gift guide. Since I am quite creative myself, I thought, why not give you some ideas for DIY Crafts? 😉

Perhaps, browsing some new shops could bring some new ideas? Although, my brain sometimes has too many ideas, and it seems there are not enough hours in a day. 😧

It has become worse since I moved. Yes, it’s a regular disaster, and I am torn. Maybe I should stop being creative and restrict myself to only watching television. No more blogs or gift guides. Doesn’t this sound like the perfect idea? 😁

Are you crazy? I would lose my mind for sure. Oh my, I wonder what that would look like. I’d most likely give myself a heart attack looking in the mirror. No, it’s bad enough as it is. Besides, who says I will still be able to see. 😂

You must agree it’s not an option to stop crafting if you are into knitting, sewing, making music, drawing, painting, or DIY crafts. Ah, you are wondering why it got worse since we moved. 😮

For almost 5 years, we stashed my keyboard in our basement. Why would I do something like that? I could either choose to make room for my keyboard or a bed for my granddaughter. 😐

You may think I am crazy, but my grandchild is far more important, and there were enough other craft options for me. 😍

This time, there weren’t that many businesses that responded to my pitch, so this DIY gift guide isn’t extensive, but as Plato once said, “The greatest wealth is to live content with little”. 😎

DIY Knit Scarf Kit $125.00



I was taught to knit by my yoga teacher. She was giving a 4-week course on the basics of knitting - while emphasizing the meditative qualities and mindfulness that knitting provides. To say that I loved it is an understatement. I enjoyed the process of knitting as well as the products that I was making with my newly acquired knitting skills.

One day, during an internet search - looking for knitting ideas - I came across the idea of extreme knitting and I was hooked. Extreme knitting is knitting that is done with large needles and oversized yarn. I began creating throws for family and friends - using larger needles and my Yummy custom-made, oversized, 100% merino wool yarn. The response to my blankets was so positive that I decided to turn my passion into a business and started It’s a…Yummy.

We believe beauty is in the details. The quality of our wool, the size and color of our yarn, and the weave of our knit contribute to the uniqueness of our creations. Additionally, we hand-knit all of our products to ensure each piece is a beautiful and usable work of art. Our philosophy at It’s a…Yummy is simple: Color + Texture = Yummy!!!

Make your own Yummy Knit Scarf with this knitting kit. Each kit contains Yummy yarn in Natural, project-specific knitting needles, and the project pattern - as well as a cotton canvas Yummy logoed tote bag.

This kit is a great way to create your winter scarf with Yummy yarn. It is a fun and creative way to relax and be mindful!

Crafts Create Change Book $29.97



Before writing Dear God Are We There Yet? and launching the volunteer community, I was deeply invested in the fashion industry. I had some amazing opportunities with Favala Designs and Fashion is a Business with being featured on the Dr. Oz Show, Black Shopping Network Channel, endless publications, and various fashion weeks around the world. Fast forward, my life hit tragedy when I had a hysterectomy at the age of 29 leaving me in a deep depression because I would no longer be able to have children.
An idea in a car ride developed into opening Florida's first fashion design and sewing school for children. Using my passion for fashion and crafts, I was able to create change in communities, families, and future generations. After closing that chapter in my life, I began writing and creating 'Dear God Are We There Yet?', but I knew that one day I would go back to my fashion roots. I am so excited to launch my very own sewing and crafts book inspiring people to create life-changing projects that will support organizations, communities and enrich people’s lives. These projects are perfect for all ages and skill levels and give you the opportunity to donate to people in need locally or internationally.

This book is not just any craft book. In fact, it’s so much more than a craft book. It’s a tool for positive change in your community and in the world. Alicia Sanchez, Founder of 'Dear God, Are We There Yet?', volunteer travel community,  shows crafters and sewing enthusiasts how to identify opportunities for change around them and how to use their hands and creativity to make those changes happen.
These sewing & craft projects are easy enough for people of all ages and skill levels to complete. Alicia also provides additional online resources: such as step-by-step instructional videos for each project and a donation directory for finding where to donate the handicrafts you create. Crafts Create Change has over forty different projects to choose from, including community projects. Start making meaningful, functional crafts to create positive change today! 80% of the profits from this book will go directly to the 'Dear God, Are We There Yet?' Impact Microgrants
