Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in our respective bubbles, especially since for a number of us, our mindsets are more on “survival mode”—keeping our businesses afloat, keeping our sanity intact, just getting through, and keeping on.

But sometimes, we also get glimpses of how things are for others not within our usual sphere—that despite geographical distance, difference in economic status, culture—we’re all going through more or less the same thing. It’s true, we’re all in the same roiling ocean of this pandemic, and that yes, we are all in different vessels—some have it easier, some have it more difficult. Our burdens may be different, but we also have differing breadths with which to carry them.

And so, wherever you are, please be kind to yourself. Do know that as each of us try every day, we root for each other. ♥️

Thinking of our fellow makers here, and across the seas. Our friends over at @manchestercraft are on lockdown, and we really do wish we can send over some of our tropical weather! 🏝 We’re rooting for you guys.

Photos are from our visit to Manchester Craft and Design Center one summer, in what feels like what was a different world.

They’re made from knitted sweaters!

BUUUUUT, as shared by our knitter friend Candy, the knitting world has exploded with patterns inspired by these mittens (and US Sen. Sanders). Yup, another friend even sent us a photo of an amigurumi doll.

“There’s enough room for us both, little buddy,” said the cactus. 🌵

No idea what that little sprout is, but if we don’t have it grow a bit more, we won’t really know what it is, will we?

And little reminders of happiness can be found in the most unassuming of places. ✨

After some candle wick trimming, we’re prepping for tomorrow’s one-on-one Basic Sewing Machine Operation class at the studio!

PS: Fabric IS happiness. Can anyone else relate? 😅
