An Anime & My Project Green….

Leave a comment

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

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 â€ș wiki â€ș Earwig_and_the_Witch

$210,071. Earwig and the Witch (Japanese: ă‚ąăƒŒăƒ€ăšé­”ć„ł, Hepburn: Āya to Majo, lit. “Āya and the Witch”) is a Japanese computer-animated fantasy film directed by Gorƍ 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

Changing How I Move…

Leave a comment

Okay, I changed my mind about walking outside in the cold (way 2 sleepy & my mind is on my next project) I decided to dance. I sometimes talk 2 fast & say the 1st thing out of my head, (not always a good thing) because when I told a friend I started dancing again and said, “it’s not what you are thinking”. I had to go back and apologize, because not all guys have a dirty mind.

I only got through 30mins (I WILL GET BACK N SHAPE 1 DAY), but this is a good tired feeling.. I remembered the 1st time I tried this dvd I could only do 10mins.

I am going to fix a cup of hot tea and work out a plan to get me moving at least 30mins everyday to be a better me.

Changing how I eat won’t do any good unless I change how I move.

More the an Anime..

I am watching a new anime “B_ack C_over,” and I was going to add a picture and info about the creator, but going through (what is and isn’t copyright) so I am not giving the full name of the show or any pictures.

This story talks about NOT giving up on your dreams and Not letting others stop that dream.

They may have to go through a battle both on the battlefield, through family, and people who could have been your friend.

Is this just like reality? No one wants to be alone and one has to go through a lot of people to find a true friend. One shouldn’t accept a person by blood, classmates, or the workforce.

A friend is someone who truly cares for you, encourages you to be better, and helps you Smile when you are feeling sad. Who says watching anime isn’t good for you.

A Nice Get Away

 The Art of a Good Book Review:

  1. Provide a summary of the book you are reading: Questions that need answering like:  – What is the story about?                              – Who are the main characters?                      – When, where, and what is the time frame of the story?                                                       – Is this place real in reality or a totally new world based on the author’s creative mind?  

                          ** The key part is to give some of the story, but NOT all of it.**        

  1.  Present your evaluation: What do you like or dislike about the book?                                   – What made you start reading this book?       – Can compare to another book by the same or different author.                                            – How did the story start?                               – How did you feel reading this story? 

    ***Get your point across about the story without giving too much away *** (had to say this twice, because it’s an important part. If everyone knew how it ends, no one would buy the book, and that’s Not what a book review is for).

  1. Give your recommendation: Why did you like or did not like the book? Be honest, but NOT hurtful. Because, there is going to be someone who doesn’t feel the same as you.                   – Your thoughts should be within your review to allow your readers to get a feel of your words and they may understand your “Yes” or “no” answer to this review. 

**Take notes as you read the book, to make sure you didn’t overlook something, and to add more detail if needed.*** 

– One can always read others who have written a book review to give you a better idea on how to do it?

This is how I spent part of my saturday. I redid my resume and started doing the normal things you do when you are looking to change jobs. I had just updated my Linkedin account and stopped on a blog. (I don’t recall the story or who had written it, but it got me thinking “I do not want another deadend job,” and I want to be happy. I am going to stop here to see if I can find that story – 2:49pm)

3:03pm I found the person, but I am too hungry to get any farther. (I did say, “thanks” for the encouraging step)

I am reading two of the 6 books I need to read to complete “The Malory Family,” a series of books by Johanna Lindsey before I start writing that book review. I know each book should have its own review, but that isn’t how my mind sees it.

Well, it’s time to get dinner started, because I plan on spending all of my free time reading. It is good to get out of reality once in a while and I LOVE this family. They may NOT be real, (too bad) but they are a nice get away

Another Day…

Leave a comment

What do you do after you have made a list, double checked your facts, and believe you have done everything you could do to set your dreams free?

 I wanted a website where I could talk about my craft as well as to sell my projects (crochet items to a cross stitch picture). It was a good idea on paper. I did my research.

 I went through each step and double checked  my facts. It wasn’t hard to set up the website, but it is the little things behind the sign on information that they don’t tell you – you need to know.

 A website is not just typing in your stories, posting your pictures and you see your dreams coming true. 

There really should be a full detail of each step you need to know how to do before you set up a website and what you need to do after it is set up in simple steps.

I may have gotten a story or two under the right category, but it’s not where I want it to be (it’s at the button of the page & not the top). I am getting closer to getting it right.

  I have been working on a Granny Square blanket on and off this past week  and it is coming out real.  I have been doing this stitch for more than 30 years now and I didn’t think I could learn something new.  I was wrong. SMILE!

Blossom Crochet

Granny Squares are a great stash busting project. – whether you choose to make lots of small ones or a huge one, this crochet tutorial will help you do it!

It is time I take a crochet break. I know most people would have said, “a coffee break”, but I’ve already had my coffee for the day. The next best thing than coffee is crocheting. It’s time to have some fun and what better way to do that is to create something with your hand?

 I am not giving up on my words, but one has to know when it’s time to back off and come back when your mind is clear? I am going back to working on my baby boy’s blanket. Well not really my blanket, because I am hoping to sell it one day.

Time to find a movie and get back to what I do. And, one day I will get my website working correctly. It is a New Year and I will have another day to set my dreams free!
