Why are we so obsessed with nostalgia and whimsy? (ft. Loti from Mama Makes)

Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy ​⁠ @MyGreenCow and Meg ​⁠ @megjournals 📖✨

This week we're joined by Loti from @mamamakes . Loti is the mama, maker and professional glitter spiller behind Mama Makes. Since 2017, Loti has been helping makers find joy in creativity, connection and a little bit of crafty chaos. She invents tools, designs crafty goodies, and sometimes pops up on craft TV or at stationery events.

In this episode, Loti shares an honest look at her business journey and why she pivoted from TV presenting to making craft products she loves to use in her own journals. We also discussed the power of nostalgia in journaling and planning (vintage Filofax, anyone?) and how the 'whimsy trend' gives us permission to play and enjoy our crafty hobbies. We hope you enjoy joining us for this crafternoon!
