I’ve been pretty busy with my hook this past month. Think this is crochet thing is slowly becoming my new obsession! More so than beading jewelry… if you can believe it! *laugh* I feel so at home and in my creative zone when I have a hook in one hand and yarn in the other. So much so that if I don’t have them with me wherever I go and I’m just sitting around I feel totally lost! lol Here’s a taste of what I’ve recently hand my hands on…
It may not look like it, but it is lining up properly… finally! After two attempts at it, I finally realized why knowing the gauge of a pattern is so important! *laugh*
Anyhoo ….
It being a new month today, I thought it would be a great time to start up an agenda type post again. I quit doing these posts after I parted ways with my accountability partner many months ago. I don’t think I felt quite inspired to continue on with them at the time. But now that I’ve found my inspiration once again, I’ll be sharing my agenda for the upcoming month. I won’t be sharing any personal things I need to be doing, or day to day stuff that we all do. What I will share are my aspirations and goals as they relate to my jewelry and crocheting.
My aims for this month are to ….
- Finish off some of my crochet projects:
- Blue Afghan/Blanket – needs another 70″ or so to it (the pattern is calling it a stote, but I have no clue what that is other than an over the shoulder blanket… please someone enlighten me on this definition & where it comes from)
- Crochet Hook Case – sew slots for hooks & strap closer
- Granny Squared Bag – still needs the shoulder strap
- Start new crochet project: dish cloths (going to aim to have a bunch for farmer’s market Christmas show this winter, plus a few other things including jewelry)
- Update 3 older jewelry designs with new styles
- Add one new handmade jewelry piece to online shop each week
Something tells me this month is just going to fly by. I can’t believe that 5 years has gone by since my son, Jordyn, born and he’s now starting kindergarten this September- next month!! ack!! This is definitely going to be a BIG change in our lives. I didn’t think I’d be back in the school system ever again. *laugh* Little did I realize that when one has a child that does eventually happen.
One good thing about him heading into the school system is that I’ll have more time to myself to do things I want to do while he’s away learning … like catch up on my sleep! …. make more jewelry … write more … and of course, can’t forget, more time for crochet!! *laugh*
