Need More Yarn….

I am still wondering how I could have worked on so many crochet projects, and not notice my yarn stash is gone?

There were a few times I almost had a smile, because someone wanted me to make something for them. As I listened to the colors and the size they wanted, I had more than five  patterns planned out, and was ready to get started.

I have learned from past mistakes to tell them your price, half up front, and the rest when done. No money, no blanket, and no you are not getting a refund. I should charge you for taking my smile away and wasting my time.

Lost Without My Phone….

I lost my phone a week ago. I didn’t realize how much I needed my phone until it was gone. I couldn’t even count the times I reached for my phone, before I remembered I no longer had a phone, and the only thing that gave me a little comfort was it got turned off within minutes when I realized it was gone.

It wasn’t just my games, but it was a way for me to let everyone know I am okay as well as for myself to reach out to family and friends to make sure they were okay as well.

I did reach out on fb, but not everyone is on fb. I am laughing, because a few people have referred to fb to a few words I care not to retype.

I am looking out at blue skies and thinking it’s time I get back to traveling. At least online. I believe I was in Maine last time, but I will double check. I will  also get back to learning how to start letting my creativity help me and my family as well as encourage  others to follow their dreams as well. It’s time to see if anyone likes my craft enough to pay for them?

I know one day I am going to have to go through all of my completed projects with their info, (size, color, how to care for them, and the amount I am going to charge for them) but for right now they are just my art work.

I also decided I didn’t want my online shop to just be my idea. I will have each item I am going to sell posted on my shopify account (where anyone can buy them) and also on my blog where anyone can request a project in a different color or size. 

I would even agree to stitch a granny square blanket, but that would cost a little more than my regular blanket due to the amount of time.

Oops, I got to talk (typing) and I need to get to traveling. I am off  to Massachusetts. I can’t wait to find out what this state is about and the things that they do there.

The Computer Wins Today….

I cannot believe I worked all day on a post for my Krachet Cafe post, but I am having trouble editing it on WordPress. I am beyond done with working on my site right now. Almost five hours wasted (with 1048 words, videoes watched, and editing pictures). Well I won’t say it was a total waste, because I have been drinking water and working out ten mintues every half an hour.

I know I will NOT come back to my original post today. I miss when you can just copy and past from Google Doc. oh well, maybe I will get back to it tomorrow. It isn’t hard not to believe I really don’t like computers. It is time to crochet and relax.

Words that was Unspken.

I couldn’t get past the feeling that there was something wrong, but for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what it was. I had to go over my to do list and the only thing that was going to change this week, was my dentist appointment.

I made the appointment two weeks ago and wrote the date, time, and address down the same day that it was given. I got time off from work and a ride too and from.

That feeling wouldn’t go away, so I made a phone call. I was upset, because I was given the wrong date and time. Fine, my ride said it was okay, but my job said, “No”. 

It was another slow day, so I picked up my favorite book Lysa TerKeurst, “100 DEVOTIONS to Know God IsHolding You Close,” and this is what I read:

I am so glad I made that call. I really would have been upset if I had gone a few miles out of my way. I am still upset that I have to wait another two weeks before I get to go to the dentist, and there is another misunderstanding. I will be going to a different dentist.

I have thirty minutes to relax before I start dinner. I will read a little and forget my morning and plan for a better day tomorrow..

My Time..

I never thought I would be the one who would be counting calories to lose weight. I lost over twenty pounds in three months, but my doctor isn’t impressed. I know losing two or three pounds a week may not be the best for everyone, but I am good at losing these unwanted pounds slowly.

There was a time when I lost a lot of weight quickly, enough where I could shop a few sizes smaller. The problem with that was – it came back so fast that I got depressed, and stopped working out altogether.

I am going to lose this weight, but I am going to do it my way. I am walking, dancing, and working  every day. Yes, I do have a sweet snack once in a while. It isn’t every day or even once a week, but when I have the taste for something sweet. I enjoy my treat.

I am at a stand still right now with my weight loss, due to a little pain, but I am not letting that stop me from doing chair aerobics. I believe as long as you are moving, and focus on the ending project it doesn’t matter how long you get there as long as you are fighting to cross that line.

I am a winner. I may have to cross that line last, but it’s my race and it’s my time. I also decided to start writing more about my craft, start building my confidence about it, and by the time I am ready to open up my shopify account. I will be ready to enjoy crossing that line as well…
