Hi friends. I’ve been struggling with whether or Hi friends. I’ve been struggling with whether or not to make this post because maybe for some of you it’s TMI, and you don’t really want to hear about things that aren’t yarn related, but I also hope that you can recognize that makers are humans too and we all struggle. . Personally, I’ve struggled with coming on here to write posts and I wanted to talk about why. If I’m being honest, I’m really struggling with my mental health right now. It feels like it’s all I can do to get through one day at a time and I didn’t want to pretend to be all happy and out together when in reality, I’m so far from that right now. . I’ve had a few people voluntarily leave my life recently and it’s been hard. It hurts, as I’m someone who deeply cares about the people in my life, and it makes me question who I am/if the person I am is worth knowing. In my heart I know I’m someone of worth but logically knowing something and mentally believing it are two different things. Not every day is a bad day, and some days are definitely better than others, but it’s still been hard. . Now, if you haven’t met her already, I have a new puppy named Luna (swipe right to see her!) and she, along with George and my nieces, are my rays of light. They can always bring a smile to my face even if I’m in the middle of a bad day. Church and prayer have also been instrumental in helping me through. . So there’s a quick update on my life that no one really asked for but I wanted to share anyways because hey, this is my page, and I can share what I want right?? . Are you struggling with anything? I’d love to pray for you. Feel free to comment or shoot me a dm. You aren’t alone 🖤 . #mentalhealth #talkaboutit

Working on a new design has so many ups and downs. Working on a new design has so many ups and downs. . It's a constant process of crochet, frog, crochet, frog, and sometimes you repeat that pattern more times than you'd like. . This particular piece had to be put into time out after I seamed it all up, tried it on, and decided I didn't like how it was seamed... and because I refuse to put out a design that I am not 100% happy with, I had to unseam the whole thing. And to add insult to injury, while cutting the seaming yarn, I cut a strand of yarn that was a part of the actual panel, and had to remake an entire panel all over again... 🤦🏼‍♀️ . Needless to say I was exceptionally frustrated with myself for not trying on the piece while I was seaming it up and for cutting the wrong stand, so I won't be making either of those mistakes again... . So now that both panels are finished and blocked, we're going to try the whole seaming process again! Wish me luck? . #designingproblems #crochetdesign #crochetdesigner #sneakpeek #seaming #slowfashion #crochetgarments #texture #prettyinpink #crochet #crochetallday #crochetpattern #cottonyarn #weareknitters #wak #michiganmaker #michiganmade #madeinmichigan #crochetersofig #instacrochet #moderncrochet #modernmaker #lovecrohcet #crochetqueen #crochetpattern #lovecrochet #michiganmaker #michigandesigner #crochetersofinstagram
So let's talk seaming... . It's easily one of my l So let's talk seaming... . It's easily one of my least favorite activities due to how tedious and time consuming it can be... . But on the other hand, it's one of my favorite activities because it's what brings a piece together. When you're making a garment that has multiple pieces, seaming them together always gets me excited to see the finished piece! . Regardless, I do try and make my pieces with as little seaming as possible, but sometimes you just can't avoid it. . So do you love seaming? Do you hate it? Do you only make patterns that are seamless? . #sneakpeek #seaming #slowfashion #crochetgarments #texture #prettyinpink #crochet #crochetallday #crochetpattern #cottonyarn #weareknitters #wak #michiganmaker #michiganmade #madeinmichigan #crochetersofig #instacrochet #moderncrochet #modernmaker #lovecrohcet #crochetqueen #crochetpattern #crochetdesigner #michiganmaker #michigandesigner #crochetersofinstagram #patterndesigner #handmadeisbetter #handmadewardrobe #handmadepieces

Let's talk about stress... . I kind of feel like I Let's talk about stress... . I kind of feel like I'm drowning in it right now (hence why I've been a little MIA..) So I figured it would be a good chance for me to talk about how I manage my stress! . First thing I do when I feel like my stress or anxiety is getting the best of me is to figure out where it is coming from... Is it work? home life? the pups? Or am I just creating more stress for myself that isn't really there by overthinking something? . That last one happens more than I'd like to admit... . And sometimes I try and logically think my way through my stress if it is just me overthinking it. However, other times, I just need to get out of my head and I do that in a variety of ways... I'll take the puppers for a walk, sit down and read my book, clean the house, listen to my book and crochet. It really just depends on how I'm feeling... . Regardless though, what matters when you're stressed or feeling anxious is that you find some time, no matter how small, for yourself. Even if it's taking 5 minutes to focus on your breathing, work on a row or two of your current WIP, or read a few pages of a book, never underestimate how much of an impact those 5 minutes can have on the rest of your day or your mental health. . That's just my two cents tho . What's something that you go to or that helps you when you're stressed or feeling anxious? . #crochet #crochetblanket #babyblanket #crochetbabyblanket #crochetallday #hobbylobby #ilovethisyarn #crochetersofig #instacrochet #moderncrochet #modernmaker #lovecrochet #crochetqueen #crochetpattern #michiganmaker #michigandesigner #crochetersofinstagram #babygift #babyshowergift #sttichtexture #wafflestitch #thepoze #blushpink #madeinmichigan #michiganmaker #mindlesscrochet #stress #anxiety #letstalkaboutit #mentalhealth
