Finding Softness in a Hectic World with Lis Makes
Hello, I
‘m Lis Crandall, and I believe that the things we make by hand can offer warmth, connection, and a gentle pause in a fast-paced world. I started Lis Makes as a way to slow down, breathe, and share a little more softness—with myself and with others
Why I Create
With a background in psychology, I’ve always cared deeply about mental health and well-being. For me, working with yarn and thread is more than a craft—it’s how I ground myself, focus on the present, and create something gentle in a world that often feels anything but. Every piece is a quiet act of care, stitched with the hope of bringing comfort to someone else.
What You’ll Find Here
Lis Makes is a small but joyful collection of pieces I love to make: embroidered jewelry, personalized bookmarks, cozy knitted scarves, soft balaclava hoods, crochet bags and accessories, and a few whimsical surprises. I carefully select my materials and take my time with each piece because I believe handmade things carry a warmth you can’t find anywhere else.
More Than a Shop
This isn’t just a business to me—it’s a way to connect with people who are looking for a little softness, a little beauty, or just a reason to pause and smile. I also write about mental health and the importance of slowing down, because I know just how much it matters.
Thank you for stopping by and supporting handmade. I hope you find something here that makes your day a little softer—and if you’re curious, feel free to explore the shop or reach out any time.
With warmth,
Lis
