You Belong Here

Welcome to Hook and Paper

We make things here.

Sometimes with yarn.
Sometimes with paper.
Always with heart.

This is a place for the creatively unhinged—the ones who cope by crafting, who stitch through the stress, who cut and paste their way out of a spiral.

We believe that handmade is healing, that creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline.
We don’t care if it’s perfect. We care if it makes you feel better.

We celebrate the mess, the joy, the late-night glue sessions, the tangled yarn disasters, and the projects that saved us from ourselves. We mix color with chaos, stitches with sanity, snark with sweetness.

Here, we laugh. We cry. We hoard supplies.
And we remind each other: You can’t control life—but you can control your crochet tension (mostly).

So whether you're here for a quick card idea, a cozy pattern, or a reminder that you're not the only one hot gluing your way through anxiety—

You belong here.

Meet Brandy Burke

I’m Brandy, the snarky soul behind Hook and Paper—where I show you how to create beautiful things with yarn or paper (or both, but never together), share real-life mental health moments, and remind you that making something with your hands might just save your sanity. One stitch, sticker, or swear word at a time.
