DIYHub is a curation initiative aiming to support creators who love crafting, making things from scratch, home & gardening. We have many passionate and talented creators who love sharing their projects and works with us.
This new series is all about these awesome creators. We will have them sharing their experiences in their journey, how they started to get involved with what they love to do now, what are the challenges they face and how they overcome those challenges. And maybe share some tips so we can learn together.
If you have any questions you would like to ask upcoming creators, you are also welcome to drop us a comment here under this post or in our Discord.

1. Please introduce yourself with a few sentences.
I am Lelys, Venezuelan nationality. I am a teacher by profession, mother and artisan.
2. Please explain what your craft means to you.
Being a craftswoman means to me peace, concentration, learning, ability, tranquility. Crafts and handicrafts in general is the best therapy I have achieved.
3. What or who inspire you to start crafting?
I inherited my passion for weaving from my maternal aunts, they have been my example to follow and my motivation. I learned to create, recycle and design from unused raw materials from my students. It is incredible all that I have been able to see during school activities, as well as from the teachers and my fellow teachers. Being in this educational environment has kept me motivated to continue creating.
4. Have you ever thought of giving up crafting?
I have not thought about leaving the craft, maybe someday my hands will no longer have the strength to make some projects, but for my part I will be creating until God allows me to do so.
5. In which communities do you post and why (except DIYHub)?
You can see my creations published in #needleworkmonday, #hivediy, #buildit and #jewelry. I post there because they are the niche communities for this type of content. Most of my publications are about crafts, I like to show the result of my creations, share the step by step and sometimes tell the mishaps or anecdotes experienced during the execution of a project.
6. What kind of other content do you enjoy the most on Hive and why?
Although my content is mostly based on creating, I like to consume varied content; about crafts, handicrafts, crochet, travel, literature, cooking recipes and others. I really enjoy wandering through the communities, meeting new users, in short, I like a little bit of everything.
7. Please name three users who inspired you during your journey in Hive.
In HIVE there are many people who inspire us. I have felt very motivated reading the posts of @jennyzer, @yolimarag and @carolinacardoza. All three are excellent creators of content related to what I like to do.
8. What is your advise to others who would want to start their crafting journey?
My advice for those people who want to start with this beautiful craft is to seize the desire and create, use the materials you have at your fingertips. Never limit yourself by what you lack or what you would like to have to start. Do it now if you wish, there is a lot of raw material in our environment.
Here's some of Lelys's beautiful creations.
