An Anime & My Project Green….

I spent last weekend avoiding organizing my room and my craft. I thought why not watch a new anime movie as I work on my green project. 

Crochet Chevron, Ripple, Zig Zag, Wave – Blanket Pattern & Tutorial

Jayda InStitches  Hi Everyone!  Let’s finish those granny square blankets with a nice simple border!  If you’re a beginner, than this is the tutorial for you! * Granny Square Tutorial – http://youtu.be/O_5nIpXg8OM

I stuck to the pattern mostly. Crocheting is like cooking. The pattern can be changed and the stitches still come out looking good.

Here are 10 facts worth knowing about A Whisker Away, Netflix’s 2020 anime movie. BY LISA DE LA CRUZ  PUBLISHED JUN 17, 2020

I chose this movie, because I love cats. I enjoyed watching it, but
I did more watching then I did crocheting. Was worth it…

I was still looking for nonviolent  anime and I remembered watching “fireworks,” but couldn’t recall the story line.

Fireworks (2017 film) – Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Fireworks_(2017_film)

Watch from the Side?”, also known as Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?) is a 2017 Japanese animated romance film based on Shunji Iwai’s live-action television film of the same name.

I wished I remembered I didn’t care for this movie. Now that I think about it, that should have warned me not to watch it. Now today I kept my word and got to do a little organization.

I had started looking at how other people organized their yarn and thought this would be a cool idea for me. My first thought was to go big, but my bank account said “start small.”

I was thrilled when I finally got it built and organized. 1 & 4 is yarn, 2 is cross stitch & craft books, and 3 is my next 2 crochet projects. (Unless someone request something for me to make for them)

Today I awoke bored and came across “Aya to Majo,” an anime movie.

Earwig and the Witch PG 2020 ‧ Animation/Fantasy ‧ 1h 22m

Earwig and the Witch – Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Earwig_and_the_Witch

$210,071. Earwig and the Witch (Japanese: アーヤと魔女, Hepburn: Āya to Majo, lit. “Āya and the Witch”) is a Japanese computer-animated fantasy film directed by Gorō Miyazaki, and is based on the novel of the same name by Diana Wynne Jones.

‎Diana Wynne Jones · ‎Kacey Musgraves · ‎Sherina Munaf · ‎Shinobu Terajima

This was an interesting movie and didn’t fill out the way I thought it would go or end. I would say it ended with an okay ending. One has to come up with how the movie turned out. 

Well, I am done watching anime for now. I need to get back to my green project and relax for the rest of the weekend….

Each Step..

I have been working on a better me for awhile and I haven’t noticed a change. I changed how I ate, started walking, and did everything I could. I had to stop and rethink and really ask myself “Am I doing all I can do?”

I am laughing, because people tell you – you don’t have to change, because you look good as you are. I shake my head knowing their lies. I have come to realize people know they are not at their best and there was NO WAY they were going to encourage you to be better then they are…

I have always talked about going meatless. I even tried a few times, but only lasted a day. I will not give up eggs, but I don’t eat that every day and one still needs a little protein in their life….

I know I can do this, because it cost me over a hundred dollars to shop for my new way of eating. I started with squash, zucchini, and tomatoes over rice. Yesterday, we had a veggie stir fry over fried rice. Tonight is a big pot of veggie soup and that will cover the next 2 or 3 days. (I  do have a young man in the house)

If I can drink a pitcher of water, and I REALLY DO NOT LIKE DRINKING WATER!!! I can do anything. I am ignoring those who don’t believe I can change how I eat or lose weight. (They are now passing friends and I am okay with that)

I only have one life to live and I am choosing to live my  life the BEST  as I can and SMILING through each step. I wish I others could understand they don’t have to bring others down to make them feel better, because we all only have control over our own body and WORDS WILL NEVER BRING DOWN A STRONG PERSON…

So, stand Strong, and be your BEST!!!!!!!

Two of James

I am amazed that there are two James? I am also wondering why and how I keep attracting them? I didn’t believe there could be two people with the same backwards thoughts.(SMH)

The other day I saw a mug with a black lady’s face with an Afriacn hat and I automatically thought about my friend Ann.

She is the mother of five and not only has a strong faith in God. She not only encourages her kids, but their friends (one of them being my son) as well to be better than what people may see them to be. 

She didn’t even blink when we lost our place and she took him in without blinking an eye and to me that is “A Black Queen” a.k.a the cup. (I didn’t find out that it was her birthday until the next day, but all in all. I am Smiling, because she liked my gift)

Today without thinking I put on a pale yellow t-shirt (My mother gave me as a Christmas gift) that reads “Strong Empowered Woman,” and I agree 100% that is who I am.

James #1 I have known over twenty years and although I wasn’t saved then, times have changed. The day I found Christ was the best thing that ever happened to me and “Yes, I did let him know.” 

We stayed friends. I had to keep reminding him that I no longer saw the world through dull eyes, I looked for a way to make things better, and holding onto my faith. I had stopped talking to him, because of his hurtful words. I know he doesn’t mean anything, because he sees the world through his eyes only. 

James # 2 had said he asked me to watch a movie and get dinner at his house, because he wanted some company. He has been working at home, since his company shut down, because of Corvid.

I can’t believe I did the same thing, when I started talking to James #1 again. I even explained why I had stopped talking to him, (and of course no apology) but out of knowing him for so long. I didn’t want to end our friendship without trying to even out the rough spots.

It really didn’t take long before his one sided conversation was starting to bug me. I tried talking to him, but he wasn’t listening. I said, “Good-Bye” to him a few weeks ago, and I will NOT answer his calls or text. (I am laughing, because he just called again. I wish I knew how to block his number) 

I am NOT going to put my feelings aside so I can talk to someone. I know how to get into the Word (the Bible), work on my projects from my book, short stories, crochet, or cross stitch.

I do have a few friends I can talk to and I know I AM LOVED and do not have to put myself second for anyone.

Now James #2 first asked what I was doing, but not really listening as I told him I was almost done with my book and jokingly said, “and so ready to get paid” and then going to read more of first Samuel. That would be a book in the Bible.

James #2 couldn’t believe I wouldn’t go to his place. I was just about to say, “goodnight” when the fool had the nerve to say, “Well I guess you didn’t want to make any money tonight.”

I was silent for a second and calming said, “You haven’t heard a word I said I am a Christan a child of God and too GOOD for you.” I suggested he read the Bible and get satan out of his heart for he will never amount to anything and that life could be cut short. I hung up and thought what a sad little stout of a wanna be man he is. 

As I was walking home today I thought maybe it’s just the name James that turned men a little crazy. I am thinking I will read the book of James after I finish reading 1st Samuel. I am hoping I am wrong about that name.

{On a side note: I just remembered Loni Love from The Real said she was dating a new man and he was nice and his name is James. I guess there are a few good men named James}. Silly me – I also just remembered James isn’t their real name, because I didn’t want anyone to Sue me for telling my truth…..

James #1 only thinks of himself…

James #2 thinks ungodly thoughts…

I am Smiling, because like my t-shirt says I am a Strong Woman and NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT!!!!

America Online Part 3: Arizona..

The first thing that came to my mind when I realized Arizona was my next stop was Charles Barlkey. Well, The Phoenix Suns (basketball team) anyway, and “No I am not going to talk about basketball.

{}Arizona US State

Description: Arizona, a southwestern U.S. state, is best known for the Grand Canyon, the mile-deep chasm carved by the Colorado River. Flagstaff, a ponderosa pine-covered mountain town, is a major gateway to the Grand Canyon. Other  natural sites include Saguaro National Park, protecting cactus-filled Sonoran Desert landscape. Tucson isUniversity of Arizona territory and home to the Arizona-Sonora Museum. – Google{}

Since, I am in the middle of correcting a problem. (I noticed as I was spelling out “Happy Birthday” I was going to run out of room. I was about to start watching a movie, but  then I realized I was rather watch something that is real – Online real anyway.

#1 Good information and places to go to learn about the state. I did like the park and maybe driving through the desert in a nice air condition car or RV that would give my long legs room. (and, no I will NOT be driving)

I had seen these other videos by “4K” and thought I should start there as I work on my project. Cool idea, but I wanted to add a little info before I get to that..

4K] DOWNTOWN SEDONA ARIZONA 2020 | Walking Tour

•May 16, 2020  Znematic Travel

📍Unforgettable Sedona experience must include spending time at internationally renowned Tlaquepaque (pronounced T-la-keh-pah-keh), Sedona Arizona’s Arts & Crafts Village, on of the best things to do in Sedona. Nestled beneath the shade of the sycamores on the banks of beautiful Oak Creek in Sedona, Tlaquepaque is the most distinctive Sedona shopping experience to be found in the Southwest. Authentically fashioned after a traditional Mexican village, Tlaquepaque, meaning the “best of everything,” has been a Sedona landmark since the 1970’s. Its vine covered stucco walls, cobble-stoned walkways and magnificent arched entryways give you the feeling that Tlaquepaque has been here for centuries. Tasteful galleries and unique shops live in harmony with its lush natural environment where giant sycamore trees stand in testimony to the care taken in preserving the timeless beauty of the Tlaquepaque grounds. It would be hard to find more beautiful surroundings anywhere to create a shopping experience like no other.

#3 : I LOVED this video and it looked like a nice place to visit. I did see a lot of people still NOT WEARING masks. That part made me a little sad. I take that back, it made me VERY UPSET! This sickness is real and people should just wear the masks or stay home.

On a happy note. I realized I actually wish I was there with a book on my lap and a pen in my hand. I would LOVE to start writing my next series of books there, and I am smiling again.

#4 The view was great, but for me it’s a “No”.  I really don’t like walking in the dirt. Then again, I could walk some, and enjoy the sights. Nature is beautiful, vitamin D would be great as well, and who knows I might actually like it – if I had the chance to visit.

Living in Arizona Now

This is a virtual tour around the best Arizona small towns for 2021. These are our favorite small towns in Arizona but there are many small towns that could be on this list and that’s why I am asking if you guys would like a Part 2 or even a Part 3. This list of small towns is from Northern Arizona, Central Arizona and Southern Arizona. Some of these small town tours you can do in a day trip some may require an overnight stay if you really want to relax. Also a few of these towns you can see in one trip. For example the Jerome, Cottonwood and Sedona trip can be done in one day if you leave early enough.                    {}

#6 : I may not have  been able to add a picture, but if you click on the youtube page info then you will see some more nice places to visit.

On a side note: if I get close to a state and you think one of the cities would be nice to add to my traveling online idea….

Online Traveling #2 : Alaska

 Whenever I thought about Alaska I always thought about it being so cold and wondered how people actually lived there. I imagined deep snow year around. 

 It wasn’t until I started watching “Molly of Denali,” a show on PBS had me changing how I saw Alaska. (I no longer have any small kids in my in my house hold, but I still watch PBS) So, my next online stop is Alaska. I will see Denali online as I hopefully complete my baby blue blanket.

Alaska

US State

Description :  Alaska is a U.S. state on the northwest extremity of the country’s West Coast, just across the Bering Strait. A semi-exclave of the U.S., it borders the Canadian province of British Columbia and territory of Yukon to the east and southeast and has a maritime border with Russia’s Chukotka Autonomous Okrug to the west.

~ I enjoy watching nature’s beauty. I may not be the one giving out information about how and when to see the beautiful park. I am happy they did.

~ I may have enjoyed looking at the trees and mountains. If I was there in that RV I may have had to close my eyes, because some of those places were a little scary to watch. Then again one has to be a good driver Not to be scared and since I don’t drive. That wouldn’t be me.
