Welcome to My Yarn Oasis Blog – Meet Your Crochet Artist in Lantana FL

Who I Am as a Crochet Artist in Lantana FL

Hey there—I’m Crystal, the maker behind My Yarn Oasis here in Lantana, Florida. I didn’t set out to start a business. I picked up crochet again after years away, mostly as a way to cope with postpartum depression and my mom’s cancer diagnosis. What began as late-night stitches for comfort quickly became my therapy, my creative spark, and eventually my business.

Now, as a crochet artist in Lantana FL, I design plushies, earrings, and accessories that carry a little piece of that journey. For me, it isn’t just about making something cute—it’s about creating pieces with heart, texture, and character. Whether you see me at a Palm Beach County craft fair or find me crocheting in the middle of family chaos with six kids running around, my hope is that every piece feels personal, meaningful, and uniquely handmade.

Heartmade. Because love lives in the details.

What This Blog Is About

At My Yarn Oasis, I’ll be sharing more than just pretty stitches — this blog is my space to open up the world of crochet and handmade art here in Lantana, Florida. You can expect:

• Behind-the-scenes peeks at my crochet process, from the yarn pile to finished plushie.

• Tips and quick guides for fellow makers who want to learn new stitches or discover favorite tools.

• Stories from markets and craft fairs in Palm Beach County, where I connect with other creators and customers.

• Sneak previews of new crochet earrings, plushies, and accessories before they hit the shop.

Whether you’re here for inspiration, handmade shopping, or just because you love yarn as much as I do, this blog is meant to feel like a cozy space to connect and share.

Why I’m Blogging

Starting My Yarn Oasis was never just about selling crochet plushies and accessories — it was about creating connection. Crochet has helped me through difficult times, and it’s also been the thread that ties me to my community here in Lantana and Palm Beach County.

This blog gives me a place to slow down and share more than what fits in a social media caption. Here I can talk about the creative process behind each plushie, give honest stories about running a handmade business, and highlight local markets and events where you can find me in person.

Whether you’re another maker, a customer looking for something special, or a neighbor curious about handmade gifts in Florida, my goal is to make this space useful, inspiring, and just a little bit fun.

What’s Coming Next

This blog is just getting started, and I’ve got plenty planned. In the weeks ahead, you’ll see:

• A closer look at my crochet plushies — how I design them, and why each one ends up a little different (in the best way).

• Market stories from Palm Beach County — the behind-the-scenes of selling handmade in South Florida.

• Tips for new crocheters — from quick stitches to choosing the right yarn when you’re just starting out.

• Sneak peeks of new creations — from earrings to plushies to accessories, plus the inspiration that sparked them.

  
  

If you’re local, I’ll also share updates about where to find me at upcoming Lantana and Palm Beach craft fairs. And if you’re not nearby, don’t worry—you’ll still get plenty of cozy crochet content, tutorials, and stories from my little yarn-filled world.

Thanks for hanging out here at My Yarn Oasis for my very first blog post. Writing this feels a little like inviting you into my living room—except with less kid chaos and a lot more yarn.

I’d love to know: what would you like to see next? A peek at my newest crochet plushie, some beginner-friendly tips, or stories from local markets in Palm Beach County?
