Happy Monday!!! I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend. Today I thought I would share the bag that started it all... 💠 A little under 3 years ago I had my second child and had just returned to work full time. I was miserable at a job I had previously loved. Not because of my job but because of the stress of having 2 babies in 2 years, commuting, juggling full time work - just everything. The stress of not being able to focus on one thing and do it well got to me and I ended up making a position change and going part time. It was life changing. 💠 For the first time in years I was able to think about what I wanted. And that is just what I'd did. Lots of thinking... When I think, I knit (it helps if you've never tried it). Knitting was so easy to pick up and out down when I was with the kids. It renewed my love for a craft I hadn't done in years. After digging out all of my knitting gear, I stumbled on all my old weaving tools and something just clicked. This is what I wanted to do. 💠 I still work part time. I am starting off slow to make sure that I am doing this right and not adding to much stress to mine and my families life again but it feels so good to have a direction. A passion. A new, old love. To share. 💠 So as I head to work this Monday - I am smiling with gratitude for what I have and knowing that I am going in the right direction. It won't always be easy, if fact it will probably only get harder but I wanted to share this in case anyone else can relate to my journey in anyway. Remembering why is so important! 💠 . . . 💖DM for sales 💖 . . . . . . . #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #craftsposure #wemakecollective #craftybitch #wemakecoolstuff #handmade #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #yarn #yarnaddict #yarnstash #cylcollective #cylsquad #calledtobecreative #craftspire #studioscenes #fiberarts #myhandsmaking #handmadeisbetter #fiberaddict #handsewn #creativityliveshere #livebrk #intheberkshires (at Smith and Spindle)
