Not ready to put away my granny square blanket. I have a color pattern already in my head and a smile thinking about how it’s going to look.
I got up to get a cup of tea. I just laid my project down and now my needle is gone.
I will stay calm. I will enjoy my green tea as I listen to the rain, and then I will start crocheting once again.

A lazy day crocheting. I thought I was going to get some new color yarn, but Walmart was a let down. I am not going to give up on finding more yarn at another store or even online.
I found this red heart yarn. I was just looking at the colors. It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed it was, âThe granny all in one square.â It is a good thing I wasnât planning on doing granny squares, because it wasnât going to work anway.

I keep wondering how many times I have to get up and start again? I seem to be falling more than I am standing strong. I am not stressing, because there is a difference between falling and laying down.
Proverbs 24:16 NIV [16] for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. https://bible.com/bible/111/pro.24.16.NIV
Is it strength or just being stubborn? Is it worth trying? It’s new, why not go to school, and do this? Didn’t you try something last month? How many books did you sell? Are you sure you want to _
James 1:6 NIV [6] But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. https://bible.com/bible/111/jas.1.6.NIV
Matthew 14:31 NIV [31] Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. âYou of little faith,â he said, âwhy did you doubt?â https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.14.31.NIV
I am beyond tired of listening to people’s doubts and trying to make them understand I am more than what they see. I don’t have to answer them or anyone. I know who I am and who is really on my side.
There are times when I want to talk to someone, willing someone to believe in me, but I realize not everyone can or will be there for you. It may look like I am standing alone, but I know who is really on my side.

My first thought was to start writing about my dream house. I have been thinking a lot about having a house, a cat, and a backyard where family and friends can gather for a cup of coffee or tea.
I enjoy watching shows about tiny houses and I know I can not live in a tiny house, but I have gotten a lot of good ideas on how I would like my first house to look like.
My first thought was to write them down, because just thinking about it isnât good enough. I even bought a special book. I got this book on Amazon.
I couldnât finish writing down my dream house. There were a lot of ideas, the more I thought about it, the more I actually wanted to see them, and not just in words.
I thought there should be a free app where I can actually see my dream house online. I researched a few sites and was about to download one, but I thought it would be best to read more about it before I download it onto my computer.
The app that I chose took too much information and I decided it wasnât a good idea. I will go back to my original plan and start writing it down. Sometimes it’s good to stick with your first plan.
Once I have all of my ideas on paper, maybe one day I can get them to the right people, and they can help me set this dream free. Having a dream is wonderful and working on setting it free is great motivation to not give up.

I am done going around in circles. Circles are round with no end to them. It’s like going through your day like a run on sentence. You tell yourself you want change, but you are not doing anything to make that happen. You dream of a big picture and have an idea on how to turn that picture into reality.
It starts off being honest with yourself. You know you have no reason to be afraid.
Psalms 23:4 NIV [4] Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV [6] Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.â https://bible.com/bible/111/deu.31.6.NIV
I am taking a closer look at who I am and who I know I can be. I am going into a new stage in my life my way. I am in charge of my tomorrow, if I have a tomorrow, because no one knows when we will take our last breath. The only thing we can do is live our life the best way we can.
I enjoy crocheting. The idea of turning a skein of yarn into blankets, hats, scarves, and countless other objects. I want to learn to do more, because I can imagine crochet items like curtains, rugs, dresses, and the list goes on.
People are all amazed when they see me crocheting and I just smile and say thank you when I get a compliment on whatever I am working on. There have been a few people who asked me to teach them how to crochet. I never thought about it, but I agreed.
Then reality hit me. Teaching and doing are two different things. Iâve watched crochet tutorials on youtube. There are a lot I can follow and a lot I cannot. There are some with words and music playing in the background. Those are okay, but sometimes the words are too small to read across the screen. There are a few that are not in English or ones with a heavy accent and I still cannot understand what is being said.
The videos I dislike the most are the ones that donât show what they are doing, just talking about them, and Thatâs not doing me any good. If I see a picture, I want to learn how to do it, and whatâs the point of posting a video if you are not going to show how it’s done.
I came across this video andâŚ..

I asked Google a question about getting a certificate to teach crochet and I clicked on thisâŚ..
{} https://americancrochetassociation.blog/ Crochet Certification – Everything You Need to Know to Start Teaching | Stop Scrolling, Start Learning {}
It is true you donât need to have a certificate to teach crochet or knitting, but I would like to teach my craft with a better understanding and clear enough for others to follow along. I would like to prove one can crochet anywhere and it isnât hard to do.
I have taken the first steps. Yes, I have started a new list and I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH this time. THIS WILL BE MY LAST LIST. I have started with a monthly planner. Well, itâs time to crochet.
Bye IV Now, LD*
