Following up on my previous post with a picture of my dandelion lawn, this was my lawn full of violets (a different spot). How can this not bring people joy? (My husband, among them. 😢) I feel like if humans could put aside the brainwashing of the chemical companies towards a grass-only lawn (not natural), you would have a healthier, stress-free life. So would the planet and all of its creatures.

Mr. Smits zonked out for the night. And nope I didn’t do this, he covered himself up. 😄 ♥️

In case you need to hear this, it's going to be ok. Breathe. Take a break if you need to. It's totally ok to rest and recover so you can take on what comes next. Don't give up, but don't beat yourself up for needing time to recuperate.

You've got this. ❤️

While it's a tragedy that any one of us might need this, here is a resource for coping after an incident of mass violence, from the NCTSN. If you explore the website, there are resources available for coping through different types of traumas.

I got the right size this time. Before/after. 😊

Fantastitch is fresh off the needles and is knit out of La Bien Aimée Cashmerino and Kumo and I *still* have leftovers. I modified the end section to have an inch of broken ribbing before binding off rather than doing chevrons. This makes the finished a shawl a lovely size for wearing while leaving me plenty of leftover yarn to throw into a colorwork sweater. This piece is available so DM if interested!
