This 300 character limit doesn't resonate with my expressive poet writer soul. That's the main reason I don't post here much. To see more of my writings, and beautiful handmade items I'm designing, follow me on Instagram (sjcragwickdesigns).

open.substack.com/pub/susannah... This week on Substack I'm grappling with questions of my identity, my desires, and freedom from perfectionism. How much of my life has been based on what I truly want? How many of what I thought were my desires were actually obedience to society and religion?

I write on Substack and Patreon weekly. Here's my latest post. susannahcragwick.substack.com/p/embracing-... #divinefeminine #deconstructingfaith #purityculture

To brighten your day, I present a series: Susannah Smiling with Scrunchies on Sunday. Yes my scrunchies are available. Yes I do custom-made ones. Have a fabulous day. 🥰 #scrunchie #hiuspompula #hiusdonitsi #crochetsky #crochet #virkkaus

Earlier this year, I was a guest on Madness Cafe Podcast. We talked about trauma healing, abandoning purity culture beliefs and other toxic teachings, empowering women, and about art and poetry. Here's the link to my interview with them. They celebrated 4 years this week. youtu.be/-hJ0hIfaQBI?...

Growing up, pamphlets in my church encouraged people to vote republican. Voting republican was "God's" way. Democrats were evil baby-killing heathens. My desire to please God was used to coerce my vote. Don't let anyone use your faith to coerce you. Your vote belongs to you, not the church.

"Beginners shouldn't charge for their work." Actually, the idea of "You have to give free labor when you're still learning & gaining confidence" is bullshit. You might increase prices as you learn, but go ahead & ignore anything that tells you that you have to work for free. #crochet #virkkaus

This little mouse is so cute. 🥰

Finding peace online: I post to share what I've created. I don't rush my creative process in order to post. I don't post out of obligation to produce enough. I write my posts & plan networking goals before opening apps. As always, DM me if you'd like any of these scrunchies. Have a wonderful day.

I took these pictures awhile ago. I think it's really cool and fun that we have a small Lego museum here in Ruokolahti. I hope you enjoy the pics and they bring back some fun memories. Have a wonderful day. #ruokolahti #eteläkarjala #lego #museum

I wrote this poem awhile ago and just felt like sharing it. Head over to Substack to read more of my work. #feminism #purityculture #traumahealing #deconstructingfaith #poetry #divinefeminine

With Pride Month almost here I wanted to post my Pride projects. I was really inspired back in early 2022 by subtle pride art of ace colored mountains. I also wanted to get better at digital art. And landscapes are fun! So I started with this piece, Genderfluid Lake. #art #queerart #digitalart

I own more crochet hooks, but tend to use the same 1 or 2 for almost everything. Anyone else have a favorite hook? I've only used metal hooks. Do you prefer metal, plastic, or wooden hooks? Some fun scrunchies I made. DM if interested. #scrunchie #virkkaus #virkattu #hiusdonitsi #crochet

Random facts about me: I'm from Butte, Montana. I live in southeast Finland. I met my husband on a language exchange website. I'm still a beginner in Finnish. I always wear my hair down, yet I specialize in making scrunchies. Weird, but somehow perfect.

I decided to share some of my writings. Everywhere I dwell online, I want to create spaces where people feel empowered and encouraged, where I'm thriving. Read more of my work here: susannahcragwick.substack.com #poetry

Tess is my friend from my university years. They deserve better than this. Links in their bio to donate. Tess is an amazingly talented musician.

Have you ever been crocheting & thought to yourself: Purity culture teachings are patriarchal, misogynistic bullshit. Fuck the patriarchy. If so, we likely have lots in common. Domestic violence, religious trauma survivor turned pro-choice, childless by choice. #purityculture #crochet #prochoice

This scrunchie is equipped with an infinite amount of superpowers. Twist to the right, you can fly. Twist to the left for invisibility. I'm joking. :) It's a scrunchie. Yes, you'll look fabulous. Yes, you deserve to treat yourself. Handmade in Ruokolahti, Finland. DM to order. #crochet #virkkaus

Beautiful sunset the other night here in Ruokolahti, Finland. #Ruokolahti #Suomi #Finland

I designed this flower scrunchie. I'm really proud of it. Now, I just need to work on drafting the pattern. #scrunchie #virkkaus #käsintehtysuomessa #novitaknits #hiuspompula #virkattuscrunchie #crochetscrunchies #crochet #virkattu

Warning: While wearing this scrunchie, you might experience an extremely low tolerance for misogynistic, patriarchal bullshit, & may have this awakening realization that you are, indeed, a Goddess. Well, I hope so. It's just a scrunchie. DM me to order.

I'm questioning: What are the things in life that I actually want? What are the things that I've been conditioned into wanting in order to fit some societal mold? Freedom is found in the willingness to ask questions. DM me to order beautiful crocheted scrunchies handmade & designed in Finland.

That one time I did a podcast. I enjoy watching the weekly episodes of Madness Cafe, and I was so honored when the hosts asked me to be a guest. Watch the episode here: youtu.be/-hJ0hIfaQBI?...

In case you need to hear it today: You deserve to rest. You deserve to find joy in creativity. Have a nice day. 🥰 Here's some of the scrunchies I designed. DM me to order.

I design scrunchies. That's kinda my thing. Here's a few custom-made ones I designed. Customers ordered scrunchies to match their favorite outfits. I love that. Do you enjoy crocheting? What do you like to make?
