What is the Thread Rose?

Hi There! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Emily Marteau, aka the Thread Rose. I started this blog because I’ve spent so many years reading other crafty blogs, thinking wow, if only I had the time, money, or talent in order to make things as amazing as I found on the internet. I felt stuck and helpless.

I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to feel that way. Crafting (or Making, as it’s referred to nowadays) doesn’t need to happen with any sort of speed or precision. It’s not about the Instagram post at the end of the project; making is exactly what you make it.

It might be about taking a bit of time for yourself, creating something cheaper (or better) than you would have found at the store, or maybe it is about the IG post. At the end of the day, Thread Rose is here to encourage you that no matter the motivation and no matter the outcome, you are doing awesome.

I hope you join us as we make tragic mistakes (hello, frogging days of knitting because you forgot to start the increase rows), incredible triumphs, and celebrate making for what it is - a chance to build community and accomplishment through crafting. I’m so excited to have you here.
