You know that quote “the only person you should compare yourself to is who you were yesterday”? I don’t agree with that. Some days we feel on top of the world and get a lot done and make progress on our goals. The very next day we might feel like shit. We’re tired or stressed or coping with external circumstances we can’t control. Comparing yourself to that person who got a lot done yesterday will likely make you feel worse. It’s not a competition to get stuff done every single day. Life is an ebb and flow, and learning to ride the wave will bring the most ease. We need rest, we need silence, and we need space. We’re human. And it’s often these quiet restful moments that bring inspiration and motivation to continue on our path. So really the quote should be “don’t compare your current self to any other version of yourself you’ve ever been” Every version of you is valid. I love you!

this picture reminds me of the slivers of hope amongst all the chaos

I have two moods:

constant panic and worrying about every little detail

Let it go. You did the best you could. There’s nothing more you can do. Be at peace, forgive yourself, be at peace.

if you remember last week I made a similar top but ripped it all out! still not totally happy with this second design though. the tie in the back isn’t super secure so I added a strap around the neck, and the elastic at the bottom bunches up the bottom edge and makes it look messy. on the bright side my sewing skills are improving and I’m still enjoying it even though I’m slightly frustrated. but don’t worry I’m not ripping this one out, but I am setting these ideas to the side for now to work on other things next mission: zippers 🤔 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBv7s70BVp-/?igshid=1edwdergas54k

this wip looks seemingly simple from the outside, but if you swipe you’ll see I’m playing with lining my pieces and adding elastic so it fits better! this was my first attempt so I’m actually going to frog the whole thing and reuse the yarn for a different variation. i learned a lot from the process so it’s definitely not a total loss! https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjHtQ8BwTL/?igshid=gbpj54dlwoi0

adorable mini hammock by @dayscrochetnc 😊 visualizing this holding fruit in my beautifully converted van someday *a girl can dream* https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgxjrahMlS/?igshid=17earxbpmc8yl

made these pillows the other day! the granny square pillow took about 10 hours (not in a row lol) but it amazes me that I have the patience to sit and focus on a project for that amount of time yet other things I can’t spend more than two minutes 😂 during the down time this creates I’ve been very intentional with what I’m consuming these days. I highly recommend watching 13th on Netflix, and the show Dear White People is a very relatable, easy show to watch with very valuable lessons and perspectives! Also the new season of queer eye is up 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbRbSLBfbX/?igshid=1bp10m0w35phm
