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!

➰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

➰Reuse, reduce, recycle➰ • With my increasing passion for our beautiful plate Earth, I felt I needed to do more as a maker.

➰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
