Body image through handmade • There are many things I dislike about my body. Many times it takes me many visits to stores to find pieces that I actually feel confident in or fits quite right but there’s nothing like putting on one of my homemade pieces. I feel most beautiful in my homemade pieces especially this tank. ☺️ • Do what makes you feel like the true confident you! • What are pieces of yours make you feel amazing? • Knit Tank Top pattern: @saraknitsco • Necklace: @thirdeyepinecones • Tanks available for purchase on @happyprobably!

I’m a hooker!! 😉 • Recently I learned to crochet scrunchies! That means I’m a crocheter right?! • I wouldn’t really say I know how to “crochet” just yet but learning this simple project makes me excited to learn more! • Any suggestions on video tutorials for crochet beginners?? • In other news, these three colors are the selection for fall scrunchies!

➰Positivity and Balance ➰ • A few weeks ago I told myself “I’m finally ready to be better.” For a while now I’ve been missing that “finally” with many missed/failed opportunities to be better previously. I guess turning 26 and losing your health insurance will make you want to treat your body and mind the right way. • Even in this short time, I’ve crashed and burned mentally but came out with so much light and positivity. I guess I realized I’m worth working on myself. It may be difficult and take extra effort but I am worth it. I deserve to find balance and positivity in any situation instead of self deprecating into an anxiety attack. This journey is far from over and I can’t wait to see where it takes me. • With that being said, I hope you too find balance, comfort, and happiness in yourself and life. YOU ARE WORTH IT. We all deserve to love ourselves and to value our mental and physical being. If you’ve been meaning to make a personal change, DO IT because you can! You’re strong 💪🏼 and capable! • Wearing: My Beginner raglan @knitatude (yarn- @lionbrandyarn Wool Ease T&Q) • Photograph: @rinknits • Working on: Knit Crop top @saraknitsco (yarn XL cotton @woolandthegang) • • • #knitatudeknits #mybeginnerraglan #ourmakerlife #lionbrandyarn #knitting #knittingaddict #handmade #l4l #boho #woolandthegang #simplyhandmade #makersmovement #coffeeshop #helloimhandmade #knittersgonnaknit #knittinginspiration #supportsmallbusiness #knittersofsyracuse #creativeknitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #imadethis #creativityfound #createexplore #calledtobecreative #knittingbydarian #kbd #manicmakers (at Syracuse, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDQ3ZvBdHS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ek51aytkv62

➰Happy Sunday➰ • Today Ethan and I are doing a little (well more like a lot ha) spring cleaning! Cleaning is a thorn in my side and I don’t do it nearly enough but there is something oddly satisfying about reorganizing your home after a long winter. • Aside from cleaning we’re also getting lunch with some friends at a new restaurant opening in town called @tbwesyr! This spot is owned by a former manager and friend of mine. So, Naturally we have to support it! Open 12-4 today in Syracuse! • What are you doing on this Sunday? • Photograph: @rinknits • Sweater Patter: My Beginner Raglan by @knitatude • Necklace: @thirdeyepinecones • Wip: Knit Crop top @saraknitsco in @woolandthegang • • • #knit #knitting #knittingaddict #handmade #l4l #boho #myetsyfind #simplyhandmade #makersmovement #coffeeshop #helloimhandmade #knittersgonnaknit #knittinginspiration #supportsmallbusiness #knittersofsyracuse #creativeknitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #imadethis #creativityfound #createexplore #calledtobecreative #knittingbydarian #kbd (at The Brine Well Eatery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPrvJVB75w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13z6d9moyguvu

➰This mug ❤️➰ • Unfortunately I’m going through a personal struggle that has been consuming me for a few weeks now. One moment feeling confident and one moment hating myself. Throughout this I’ve had the support of an amazing soul @knowsanctuary. • Courtney gave me this mug for my birthday during the middle of my struggles and it completely changed my mindset. When feeling down I think of this saying. It has really stayed with me while coping with negativity. Any situation can bring a lesson and with lessons come growth. 🌸 🌹 • I’m so fortunate to have a friend that knows me. Thank you Courtney for being you! ❤️ • Show some love to your supporters! Tag them below and express your appreciation! • • • #growthmindset #growth #friendship #knit #knitting #knittingaddict #handmade #l4l #boho #myetsyfind #simplyhandmade #makersmovement #coffeeshop #helloimhandmade #knittersgonnaknit #knittinginspiration #supportsmallbusiness #ourmakerlife #knittersofsyracuse #creativeknitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #imadethis #creativityfound #createexplore #calledtobecreative #knittingbydarian #kbd (at Syracuse, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIa71ihLep/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qnd59oyw2c1f

➰Happy #manicmakermonday➰ • It’s hard to believe it’s Monday again but here we are! I hope everyone had a good week. • As I shared yesterday, KBD was accepted into our first summer market ever! Naturally I’m super nervous about it. If you haven’t noticed, winter knits are my go to. Cozy, chunky, and warm knits to make the soul happy on a cold winter day. That’s my comfort zone. • Happiness and excitement are also coursing through me! I immediately purchased two summer top patterns from @saraknitsco and cranked out four tops already! This time last year I never would have thought to sign up for a summer market, to leave my comfort zone. I’m more excited than nervous (for now lol) and look forward to composing a beautiful summer booth. Seeing this growth in my confidence and business are motivating me even more. It’s crazy what a little decision will do for your heart. • So I challenge everyone to try and take a step outside your comfort zone this week! Make sure to tell me about it! • How have you grown in the last few months? Share your story below ☺️ • • Don’t forget to check into @manic.makers live with @a_cute_design tonight at 815 EST! We’ll be talking about our favorite things! • Yarn: @woolandthegang XL Cotton • • • #manicmakers #woolandthegang #summerknits #growth #ourmakerlife #makerstrong #madewithjoanns #knitting #knittingaddict #handmade #l4l #boho #myetsyfind #simplyhandmade #makersmovement #helloimhandmade #knittersgonnaknit #knittinginspiration #supportsmallbusiness #knittersofsyracuse #creativeknitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #imadethis #creativityfound #createexplore #calledtobecreative #knittingbydarian #kbd (at New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtwRimnhHUL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1osrcke19fbyk
