Hey, crafty friends!
I have to tell you—I LOVED this week’s episode of Happy Time Craftcast because I got to chat with one of my absolute favorite creative humans, Timm Sevitz! 🎉 If you don’t know Timm yet, prepare to fall in love. He’s an artist, DIY wizard, and just one of the most joyful people I’ve ever met. He makes crafting feel fun, fearless, and totally accessible, which is exactly why he’s built a massive community of makers who adore his work.
And now, he’s adding “author” to his already impressive list of creative accomplishments! That’s right—Timm has a brand-new children’s craft book coming out, and trust me when I say, you’re going to want it (whether you have kids or not).
So grab your favorite craft supplies and let’s dive into what made this conversation with Timm so special!
The Magic of Saying YES to Creativity
One of the biggest things I took away from this episode is how much Timm’s journey has been shaped by saying YES.
-
YES to embracing his creativity, even when he wasn’t sure where it would lead.
-
YES to sharing his work online, even when it felt scary.
-
YES to new opportunities, even when they pushed him outside his comfort zone.
And guess what? Those "yeses" turned into a full-blown dream career in the arts.
Timm shared that he wasn’t always the super confident, bold artist we see today. As a kid, he was obsessed with crafting but struggled with shyness. Art was his happy place, but he wasn’t always sure if his work was “good enough” (oh hey, relatable).
But instead of letting those doubts stop him, he just kept making things. He let creativity be his escape, his joy, and his way of expressing himself. And when he finally started sharing his projects online? People LOVED them.
Now, with over a million followers and partnerships with brands like Crayola, Michaels, and Joann Fabrics, Timm is proof that leaning into your creativity can open doors you never even imagined.
His New Book = Pure Crafting JOY
Okay, let’s talk about Timm’s new book—because I am so excited about this!
Timm designed this book with his younger self in mind—the kid who loved to make things but didn’t always feel like he fit in. He wanted to create something that tells kids:
💡 Your creativity is valuable.
💡 Art is for everyone.
💡 You don’t need fancy supplies—just imagination!
And let me tell you—he nailed it. Every page is packed with fun, easy projects that encourage kids (and let’s be honest, adults too) to play, explore, and create without fear.
When he held the first copy of his book in his hands? You guys, I almost cried. Watching someone’s hard work and passion turn into something real, tangible, and meaningful is just the best feeling ever.
Why You’ll LOVE This Episode
This chat with Timm is a must-listen if you:
✅ Need a creative confidence boost 🎨
✅ Love DIY projects (or want to start!)
✅ Want to hear a super inspiring success story
✅ Just enjoy a good laugh (because Timm is hilarious)
We talked about childhood creativity, overcoming self-doubt, social media success, and why crafting is a superpower. It’s the perfect mix of heartfelt moments and pure crafty fun.
Plus, he drops some serious wisdom about why making things—even just for the joy of it—is so important.
Final Thoughts: Keep Saying YES!
If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this episode, it’s this:
✨ Say YES to your creativity.
✨ Say YES to making things, even if they aren’t “perfect.”
✨ Say YES to sharing your work, because the world needs your art.
Timm’s journey is proof that you don’t have to have it all figured out. Just start. Just make. Just say yes.
So go listen to this episode, get inspired, and then grab some scissors and glue—because it’s time to MAKE something amazing!
XOXO,
Joleen
