My Studio

A quick look back at a year of growth for Hands Occupied, and creative dreams for the year (and decade) to come!
Hands Occupied is the name under which I became a blogger, crafts designer and artist, starting in late 2010. Over the years Hands Occupied and my work has grown and evolved, and these days my work ranges from accessible craft books for hobbyists to fine art tapestries and advanced knitting patterns.

In early 2019, the Hands Occupied Studio opened as a dedicated workspace from which I can run my business, do design work, shoot photos and videos, and develop larger art pieces. The Studio is just 200 square feet. (Visit the About page for more on Hands Occupied.)

Upcoming Studio events

7/8/20 - In the past, I've hosted weekly Craft Nights and a monthly Crafternoon. Social gatherings remain unacceptable, so for now, the Studio is simply my studio. Details will be announced when it makes sense - email me at heidi-at-handsoccupied-dot-com with any questions.
