I canât believe I made the same mistake twice. I really should have started over three weeks ago, but for some reason I felt it was right. I thought when you look at a rainbow it would have to be big.
{} CROCHET AN EXTRA LARGE RAINBOWđ beginner-friendly step by step tutorial/ Ophelia Talks https://youtu.be/1sIapDy7uJM
Ophelia Talks Hi everyone it’s Anja here with a new video on how to crochet an extra large rainbow. In this step by step crochet tutorial about the rainbow I am using updated colours and a slightly larger size! This video is beginner-friendly with explanations about the stitches and increasing.{}
I know my rainbow blankets are a little different, but thatâs what happens when someone who enjoys crochet gets creative blankets.

I made a rainbow blanket that has pink and white in it. I call it a girlâs rainbow blanket. It was supposed to have been for a baby girl. I do like my blanket to be a little bigger, to allow the blanket to grow with the baby, but this is way too big.
I repeated the same pattern I used before on the girlâs rainbow blanket, but omitting the pink. I did add white in it and this one is my, âboy rainbow blanketâ. Then again it could be for both a boy or a girl, because it’s colors are a true rainbow.

I missed and made it the same size as my first one. I was going to make this one a little smaller, but – I realized it doesnât look like a baby’s blanket. I can still make it a little bigger than a regular size blanket, but then I was having way too much fun and this happenedâŚ.
I didnât realize working with so many different colors was going to be a lot of work, but so much fun. I said I wasnât going to do that againâŚ.
Well that thought didnât last long. I was wondering how to change colors without tying so many knots? I ran across one of my favorite creative person Ms. Donna Wolfe

I am thinking about redoing the borders, but this is my design of multi colors. Only time will tell..
What is the difference between a job and a paycheck? :
Job – A job is a place where you go to do something for someone else and they pay you to follow their rules.
Paycheck – Is money you get from working at a job.
That was an easy answer to that question, but then again it was just the basic answer. Most people would take the first answer and go onto another question, not looking back, or giving it a second thought.
The problem with that kind of thinking is, âWhat if there was more,â you would never know if you didnât look past the first step. When you were in school the teacher would ask what your career choice would be and give you ideas on how to set that dream free (if you get lucky enough to get a teacher who actually cared).
A job could be more than just working at a retail or grocery store? If you like what you are doing then your job is worth going to everyday. It is the same if you went into a career of your choice.
Now a paycheck is just that, money from a job, and nothing special. A person who is living paycheck to paycheck may just be getting by and Not living their BEST LIFE.
So, let me ask my question again. What is a job and a paycheck to you? For me my job is just a job just for the paycheck, until I can turn my craft into my real job âOne Dayâ.
I sprained my ankle last week. I was determined to go to work and ignore that pain. I know the doctor said she should be off my feet for a week, and iced for at least 10 hours per day (because I couldnât afford to get a cast). Family and friends told me the same thing.
I understood they care about me, but no one was going to be paying my bills. You can pray I heal and give me encouraging words, but my landlord isnât going to care about any of those things. I took the pain pills, and got off of my feet as soon as I got home.
When I awoke the next day:
Pain : You thought you were going to get your way this time, âNo Maâamâ.
Me : I havenât let you have your way before and today isnât any different.
Pain : Okay, let me see you stand up without your cane.
Me : It’s already 6am and I donât have time for your pain. So, âPain GO AWAYâ!
Okay, I am an out of shape hard headed hard work woman, and I know when to stand down or sit down in this case. I called my job early to give them a heads up that I was going to be out of work for 6 days.
That first day was hard, but I wasnât going to feel sorry for myself. I completed my blue & orange project, cleared out my email (some), and watched so many videos to help get my site working correctly. I got one part, but I AM NOT GIVING UP ON IT..
The second day, I kept on telling myself one more step, stretch for one more minute, and although that pain hasnât gone away completely. It only comes back at the end of my work day.
That pain may have won a few days ago, but I havenât stopped stretching or rest as much as I can:
Me : Pain you got a hold of me for a short time, but I already said itâŚ
Pain : I am still here and Iâm not going anywhereâŚ
Me : You keep telling yourself that, because I am Not Listening to youâŚ.
The words I said were true and as I stayed home resting. I took notice of how many people knew I was hurt and how many people reached out with kind words. Not surprised there were less than a handful.
When I get to work I hear, âOh I meant to call you, because it wasnât like you to miss any day.â I just smiled and kept doing what I was supposed to do. Every now and then they would come over to see what happened, but had to leave quickly when someone noticed them out of their work area.
Pain can be physical or mental. I will Never let pain stop me from doing what I have to do to survive, or being a better me. I know I have to stop working paycheck to paycheck, because there is no way I can save. I want to start enjoying my life and working for a dead end job isnât going to work.
I am also going to keep true family and friends close as I move past my here and now and speak to others as I keep it moving. I am going to end this with a question? Are you going to let go of your pain?

Itâs Time to have some FuN!!
This was my website http://www.krochetcafe.com, (and yes it is still up until Sep’ 1st) but I am letting it go. I realized I was talking (typing) here on my blog (and trying to get it better) more so I am going to be me here at ‘3am Thunder of Words’ just like thunder you may Never know where it may go. At least I am hoping to get a Smile or Two…
Well I am working on a ‘yellow project,’ and like to calm down a little. I just liked the colors and then someone made fun of them, because “Why are you making the Lakers colors?” was said to me. I had to laugh, because if you know me – then you know I am NOT a Sport kind of girl.
I crochet for a lot of reasons:
I find some colors that I like –
Someone ask me to make something from their choice of colors –
Someone give me their yarn, because they have giving up on working with them –
or I am just working on leftover yarn.
Which is what I am doing right now, but its all good. I found a new pattern and I am having fun…
