About Make Your Own Happy

Make Your Own Happy

Crafting a happier, more creative life.

I’m Donna, the maker behind Make Your Own Happy. I used to be a primary school teacher, and creativity has always been such an important part of my life—both in the classroom and at home. Over the years, crafting became my way to slow down and switch off, a little pocket of calm in the middle of busy days.

What started as something just for me grew into something I wanted to share. I truly believe in the quiet, therapeutic power of making things with your hands, and how much it can help you feel more grounded, present, and connected.

In my shop, you’ll find a collection of craft kits and workshops designed to gently guide you into that space. They’re created to be approachable, supportive, and inspiring—whether you’re completely new or picking things up again. My hope is that they help you carve out time for yourself, explore your creativity, and enjoy the process without pressure.

So this is your invitation to slow down, get creative, and make something just for you—one stitch at a time.

    Nice mix of bits to play with. Reel is lovely to hold, nice size.

    I really loved making this slow stitch roll, it was a mindful activity and I will definitely add on strips as proposed. Wanted to learn this in a workshop however could not make the date so was introd. by owner to get this kit. If you like some mindful activity it is worth it.

    The kit looks lovely. It has everything you need for the project. Plus a really handy stitch guide for beginners like me. The colours of the threads are gorgeous. I am looking forward to making this. Thank you!
