I wanted to post a brief demonstration on the Granny Square, but we aren't starting from the very beginning today. Instead, I wanted to show you the rhythm of the granny square once it’s already in motion. ​When you get past those first couple of rounds, the pattern starts to "hum." I’m breaking down how to find that sweet spot where you stop thinking about the stitches and start feeling the flow. It’s less about "how-to" and more about "how to relax" into the pattern. ​In this video, we’re looking at: ​The "Auto-Pilot" Phase: Navigating the corners and spaces without overthinking. ​The Sensory Click: Listening for the rhythm of your hook. ​Loosening the Grip: A visual reminder to let your tension (and your shoulders) drop. ​A Quick Question for the Group: ​I’ve been thinking about making this a regular thing. Would you guys find it helpful to have Weekly Hump Day Grounding Chats right here at 1:30 PM EST? ​It would be a space to check our tension, breathe through the mid-week "wobbles," and just stitch together for a bit. ​Drop a "YES" in the comments if you’d join me, or let me know what you think of the demo! 👇

Look around your room. What is the one small thing that always feels messy? For me, its the kid chaos! I am so very grateful for healthy and creative children that love to play, but the mess that creates is something that is REALLY hard on what has recently been described as my neurospicy mind. The chaos triggers a part of my soul that needs 25 deep breathes to move forward some days. So, Im going to choose a project that may help "fix" it. What's your mess?

As I work through some things in my own personal healing journal I was asked an oddly difficult question for me to answer. The question: What make ME feel safe? In evaluation of the question it dawned on me that I feel fairly good about creating safe spaces for others, even if I'm not fully clear on what exactly makes me feel safe. This made me wonder... As the Hook Nook is so far: ❤️Do YOU feel safe? 💛Safe to express yourself? 💚Safe to take the chance to try new things? 💙Safe to share pieces of yourself? 💜Safe to connect with others? If not, or even if you do, what are some things that would help you to feel safe(r)? Take a look at our about page? Does that feel safe? *Picture of a safe space
