Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨ This week, Meg is joined by Chris from @ella_nym to talk about nurturing your creativity, finding a journaling system that works for you, and deconstructing Hobonichis (!) This was such a delightful conversation about how we can heal our inner artist, document the things that bring us joy, and show up as ourselves in the pages of our journals. Grab a cuppa and your journal or craft supplies, and join us for a crafternoon! Chris is a poet & multi-disciplinary maker who publishes under the pseudonym Ella Nym. Living in rural Maine with her two cats (Freida and Suki), she is a handmade-website lover, lifelong learner, and devoted member of the "i-love-journaling" fan club. Her making practice consists of experimenting with different mediums such as fiber arts, paper crafts, and more — usually with a focus on process over product, experimentation, and finding the beauty in everyday things. She documents her creative life at the intersection of digital and analog practices across YouTube, Substack (Nym's Notes), and Patreon.

AD ☆ Pick up the Crafternoon stickers here! https://www.mygreencow.co.uk/products/crafternoon-a6-phrase-sticker-sheet ___________ Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨ Everyone is in their 'going analogue' era in 2026, so we thought we'd chat about this shift away from the digital world! From analogue hobbies to physical media, the return to a slower paced life is on the rise... but is it just another trend? As lifelong journalers and creatives, we're so excited to see people embracing a more 'analogue life'! We talk about the discourse on social media, the different analogue hobbies that we enjoy, and what we keep in our versions of an analogue bag! We also touch on how we can all be mindful of overconsumption, and ways we can make these screen-free hobbies part of our daily lives long-term. Oh, and a knitting update, of course!!
