My Next Chapter..

People are talking about shopping at Black owned businesses, but what about shopping at a Christian business? 

I shop, never really thinking about the company or their background. I only saw the deals and if I can get to it by the bus.

Then you hear what some big companies are doing and without realizing it, these companies are hiding a dark side, and it makes you start having second thoughts about shopping there.

I never really shopped at Hobby Lobby. The one time I was there, I kind of just walked through, because I didn’t see any brand names I knew. 

I keep telling myself I should try something new, but yarn costs too much to be taking a chance on. Then by chance someone gave me some yarn and to my surprise most of it came from Hobby Lobby.

I wish I had kept the wrapping, because this yarn reminded me of Caron’s simply soft yarn. I really enjoyed working with it. Yes, it is yarn from Hobby Lobby.

I also decided I am going to take a chance on my gift. I am not the best person who knows how to crochet, but I LOVE doing it. It is about time I start getting paid for what I enjoy doing. 

I will help others crochet too, because I am tired of hearing:

  • I can’t crochet 
  • It’s too hard to crochet 
  • I use to do it, but have no time now

I want to prove everyone wrong and show them how to enjoy crocheting a little at a time. I found out that Hobby Lobby is a Christian company, so I am going to add this store to my shopping list. I can’t wait to see my next chapter.

Something Forgotten…

I was working on my aqua blue blanket and was ready to join more yarn to it, reached for my scissors, and my hands came out of my bag empty. My needle case, with my scissors inside, wasn’t in my bag. 

I am going to add a pair of nail clippers to my cane so I will always be able to cut my yarn if I ever leave my scissors at home again. Then again, I should just pack my bag the day before and double-check the next day before walking out of the door.

Didn’t Finish an Order..

I wish I had remembered to take a picture of the 15 scarfs I was able to make. I was short 8, but I did good with just two weeks to make them. 

Someone asked how much did I make buy giving my craft away? I was really confused, because I said I was donating them to a homeless shelter.

I wasn’t asked to do this, so why would I get paid. I couldn’t offer any physical help, but I thought I could at least help a few people stay warm when they are outside of the shelter.

Help comes in different ways and you don’t always have to be paid with money. Maybe next year I will learn how to do hats and more time to work on them.

A Long Crochet Project..

I am so over crocheting scarves. It doesn’t matter how long I am crocheting, I don’t seem to be getting any closer to the number of 23, but I don’t want to give up. Then I thought, what if I just worked a few granny squares together, and I can count that as one scarf done.

I have a bag full of granny squares. It took a few moments to get the right colors, the same yarn, and the right amount to make a scarf. The correct number is 20 if you wanted to know.

It was a good idea, until I remembered it takes a few to stitch each square together, and then I am going to have to crochet the border. I don’t know what I was thinking. I have 11 done, and was told I would be given two, but so far that is an empty number. Oh well, let me get back to crocheting. I have 5 days to come up with 13 more scarfs…

A New Bag…

This is the first time I didn’t repack my yarn in my bag and then in a rush I grabbed my bag and ran out of the door.

I feel a little lost without my yarn. For some strange reasons I have no Internet, so I cannot play my games on my phone, and waiting in a hospital room is no fun, when you are ready to go home.

I will pack myself an emergency bag, so this won’t happen again. It may not be my current project, but at least I will be able to keep my hands moving and my mind focusing on something else.
