Building the craft station

Today came with a small but very exciting surprise: my craft station desk arrived earlier than expected!

I spent the entire evening building it, piece by piece, and then slowly trying out a first rough setup, not to make it perfect, but to understand what this space could become in the long run.

I already have a simple table-top tripod with a small light, just enough to place my phone above the desk. Nothing fancy, but more than enough to start. The idea is to record timelapse creative sessions while crafting, especially for Kit of Happiness, but also for any other faceless, hands-on work I feel like exploring.

This setup feels like exactly what I needed:

• a physical, grounded place to create
• space for paper, glue, scissors, and printed kits
• a faceless recording flow that feels natural to me
• freedom to experiment without overthinking platforms

Whether it ends up as YouTube, TikTok, or something else doesn’t really matter. What matters is that it fits my rhythm and my style.

I already know this desk won’t stay the same, I’ll improve it slowly, add things over time, refine the setup as I learn what I actually need. But even in this early state, it feels right.

And honestly, I’m already counting down to the Christmas one-week break from work. Having uninterrupted time to sit at this table, create freely, record, cut paper, and just play with ideas feels like the perfect way to close the year.
