Where Craft Meets Mindfulness

Hi there, I'm Camille, the creative spirit and mindful maker behind Furry Fibers. My journey with macramé began in 2022, but the story behind this space is woven with many more threads than you might expect.

The Beginning

What started as curiosity about those beautiful hangings I'd seen in design stores quickly evolved into something deeper. I discovered that in the rhythmic process of knotting and creating, I found a meditative practice that grounded me in the present moment—something I hadn't expected but deeply needed.

From 2015 to 2019, I navigated a difficult journey with disordered eating. My path to recovery wasn't linear, and it certainly didn't begin with macramé. It came through learning to accept myself, sitting with difficult moments, finding techniques to quiet my mind, and slowly building a toolkit of practices that brought me back to myself.

When I eventually discovered macramé in 2022, it became another powerful tool in that kit—a way to practice mindfulness through creation.

The Evolution

At the beginning of 2024, I decided to transform this passion into a business. Now, I'm taking another meaningful step: weaving together my love for macramé with my commitment to mental health awareness and mindfulness practices.

This evolution feels natural and necessary. Through unexpected connections and shared experiences, I've been reminded of the power in speaking openly about mental health journeys and the many paths to healing.

What You'll Find Here

At Furry Fibers, you'll discover:

  • Thoughtfully crafted macramé pieces designed to bring warmth and texture to your space
  • Tutorials that approach craft as a mindfulness practice
  • Resources and conversations about mental wellbeing
  • A community that values both beautiful creations and authentic connection

Each piece I create—from wall hangings to plant holders, from handbags to coasters—is crafted with intention, using high-quality materials and sustainable practices.

The Name

You might wonder about the name "Furry Fibers." It's where two loves in my life converge. "Furry" honors my two rescued huskies, Sham and Minka, who bring immeasurable joy to my world. "Fibers" represents the artistic medium where I found both creative expression and meditative practice.

Together, Furry Fibers symbolizes the comfort of handcrafted art and the healing power of mindful creation—all inspired by the unconditional love my dogs have taught me.

Looking Forward

Whether you're here for the craft, the mindfulness practices, or both, I welcome you to this evolving space. I believe in the power of honest conversations, practical tools for wellbeing, and the healing potential of creative expression.

This isn't just about art as therapy—it's about sharing all the ways we can find our way back to ourselves, one small practice, one mindful moment, one carefully placed knot at a time.

Thank you for being part of this journey. If anything here resonates with you, please know you're not alone—and I'm always here if you need a friend to lean on.

Warmly,

Camille (with Sham & Minka always nearby)
