Reflections as cozy season approaches. . Real talk: Sometimes there’s more going on than pretty squares. I’ve been navigating a private struggle I’ve decided to share. . I’m not perfect. I make mistakes by the dozens. Sometimes my energy & passion get the best of me. But that’s no excuse for some things I’ve experienced. I’ve been ostracized & shunned by people I respected, admired & trusted. Since this happened I‘ve struggled to find my place in this Maker community. Wondering if there’s a place for me here. Voices of self doubt are crippling. . I’ve stepped back, prayed & given it all to God. I know I’m here for a reason. . So why am I sharing about this now? . A former boss of mine who taught me so much shared a great reminder: sometimes we have to be boss enough to make our own lane. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 . Some preach “inclusion” but don't walk the walk. I want to be clear: No matter what, for me: ALL are welcome here. . I also want the lyrics from this @castingcrownsofficial song to remind us it’s not weakness to be vulnerable. It’s ok to struggle & make mistakes. ..... Is there anyone that fails? Is there anyone that falls? Am I the only one in church today, feeling so small? Cause when I take a look around Everybody seems so strong I know they'll soon discover That I don't belong So I tuck it all away Like everything's OK If I make 'em all believe it Maybe I'll believe it too So with a painted grin I'll play the part again So everyone will see me The way that I see them Are we happy plastic people Under shiny plastic steeples With walls around our weakness And smiles that hide our pain But if the invitation's open To every heart that has been broken Maybe then we close the curtain On our stained glass masquerade Is there anyone who's been there? Are there any hands raised? Am I the only one who's traded In the altar for a stage? The performance is convincing And we know every line by heart Only when no one is watching can we really fall apart But would it set me free If I dared to let you see The truth behind the person You imagine me to be Or would your eyes be opened Or would you walk away Would the love of Jesus Be enough to make you stay?
Ok you guys ... there are 2, yes TWO important things about this photo: . 1. My pal @monnggee did me a solid showing off his Trailblazer Beanie. It's super special but just because he makes only very rare and special modeling appearances but because this hat is part of the @lionbrandyarn #HatNotHate Campaign (read more & get the pattern on the @stitchandhustle blog) 💙💙 . 2. He's reminding us all of something incredibly important: it's essential in today's world to intentionally UNPLUG! In that vein I will be going dark on social media for the next couple of weeks to focus on being present and taking care of some things that need my full attention. . But... . Unplugging is something we all need to do though maybe don't for fear or missing out or not being relevant or losing sales or blah blah blah. And it is blah blah blah because the world will keep spinning and it's ok to disconnect to connect! See what I did there? I will be back and until then please remember at least once a day to: be kind to your neighbor, be kind to a stranger and most of all, be kind to yourself. 💖💞💗 . 😊
So much happiness... can't even smile any bigger if I tried. Oh the Unicorn Kounty Knit Shawl ... can you tell I just love the finished product 🌈💕🦄💜😊 . I may love the knit version a wee bit more than the crochet. Nah... I love them both. 💕💕💕 I'm even considering adding them to my fall offerings 😉 . ps: #kgkunicornalong with @kristyglassknits & @asylumfibers still going strong - hit the link in my bio to join us 🦄🦄🦄 . 😊
Sunday vibes with fall prep... oh and What's that you say!? It's national dog day? Like I even need a reason to show poodle one in our cozy nook 😂🐶💕 . Blanket: @globein_world Yarn: @woolandthegang Mug: @theyarnmamas . PS .... Pattern - something new I'm trying inspired by @knit_guy . 😊
