Hiya, my name is Kunbi, the maker behind Handmade by Kunbi.
I started knitting and crocheting at the age of 8 and although I abandoned the craft from when I was a teenager until well into my 30s, I pretty much hit the ground running when I decided to pick up my knitting needles and crochet hooks again. I haven’t looked back since. Handmade by Kunbi was born when I started getting custom orders and subsequently started writing patterns.
I’m a medical writer during the day, a wife and mummy to a very energetic six year old going on sixteen and a baby girl born in June 2018. I enjoy writing and I have authored a few blogs during different seasons in my life.
I’m a coffee lover whoΒ loves to read, listen to music, write worship songs inspired by a heart filled with awe and wonder for God, and hang out with my family. I enjoy laughing all the laughs and making people laugh.
To find out more about Handmade by Kunbi, head on over to the About section. I look forward to connecting with you π
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Blessings,
2022 has been quite the year. Itβs been pretty intense with my mental health taking a massive hit and me having to ease off the pedal on many things. In all of the intensity though, there have been many highs and so many things to be grateful for.
A huge ma-hoo-ssive thank you to you guys for your continued support. I didnβt post much this year but you remain so amazing! Thank you to everyone who supported me, one way or another. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Happy new year, my lovelies! God bless ya!
Grateful for the best Christmas gift that God gifted mankind - Jesus π.
Merry Christmas, my friends!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING ππ to my peeps in the US. Hope youβre all having a fab time with your families.
We live in a crazy world but I hope and pray you have some things you are thankful for. Iβm ever thankful for you guys. God bless you and yours!
