I love creating crochet plant hangers. I've never really used patterns with my creations, just adlib and see what I get.

This one's available with or without this planter. Message me if you want to purchase this one or would like a unique crochet hanger made just for you. Browse my shop to see what else is available: tweaked-designs.square.site

Does ADHD get worse as we age?

Not exactly. But it can feel like it does.

In our 20s and 30s, we often survive on urgency, pressure, and adrenaline. Then midlife arrives. More responsibility. More decisions. Less hormonal support. Estrogen drops. Dopamine struggles. The systems that once worked start to crack.

It is not that you are getting worse.
It is that the margin for error is smaller.

Add perimenopause, disrupted sleep, emotional labor, and years of masking, and suddenly the brain feels louder.

But here is what improves with age.
Clarity.
Pattern recognition.
Self awareness.

You are not failing. Your brain just needs a different strategy now.
And that is not weakness. That is adaptation.

I'm still behind every holiday 😵‍💫 My concept of time was never good, but it's so bad with menopause.

Comment or message me if you're interested in bowties, hearts, or flowers for your pets collars.

This planter isn't quite the right fit for this hanger, but it still works. The crocheted hanger has a circular wire base and the gems all attach to wires, which help hold the shape. I used a candle base decoration so it's an upcycled crochet plant hanger. This one is a gift and I'm hoping to get images from them once they choose a plant to hang in it.✌️🥰🧶

I helped write grants and I still don't know how to wrap my brain around it all. I had a rough crash course into it all though.

Creating might come naturally, but asking for money can feel daunting. This starter guide explains where to find artist grants, how to craft clear and compelling applications, and how to manage next steps.

This is why I want to create my own retreat for artists...offer all sorts of varieties of art, dance/fitness in a nature space that has funky upcycled outdoor art everywhere...I have a whole plan in my 🧠 the place I'm at is not the space, but I know I'll find it and create it.

Studies say we’ve got a powerful, artsy antidote full of resilience: The calm waits in our creativity.

Update on my yarn storage, first picture is before I added some of my new tins...I need a LOT more tins. I still have 4 totes of yarn to set up in tins. I do still have 4 tins to tack up, but I haven't even gotten to my fuzzy fluffy yarns yet, so I definitely need more. 😅 Look what your trash can be transformed into.

See what your upcycle donations can create. 😁 I love combining colors and doing my part to I expect these to be somewhat DIY as well. Add your own charms, decorative labels to cover images/words and label the plant growing. Dark containers work best with dirt, which work well for seed sprouting.
