Gotta Frog Again….

I can’t believe I am frogging another blanket (oh, frogging is taking the yarn out of a blanket that’s already made). I went to Michael’s to get some more red yarn, but they didn’t have the color I needed. A.K.A the reason why I am frogging another project. 

I may not be able to get this blanket bigger before Christmas, but it will be a throw big enough for someone who stands over 6ft tall.Ā I can always add onto it if I can’t give this gift in a different size, but only time will tell.

Writing My Way…

Today I decided not to waste time on Facebook or playing an online video game. When I awoke two hours before my alarm,  trying to go back to sleep. I just got up. I wanted to work on my mistake and that’s what I did. I saw a few videos, read a few more articles about print on demand, and wasn’t believing everything I learned (or didn’t learn).

I believe people are telling the truth to a point, but also telling people what they want to hear. I don’t know if that’s called lying or just scratching the truth a little?  I am adding the YouTube channel from, ā€œJournery with The Hintonsā€. https://youtu.be/LkV5fMaXkTo?si=uY5lMily1Un5rJk5 

This would be my second time trying this, the first time I didn’t sign up with Etsy right, and this time I signed up before adding her code. It took me a few tries to add the background, but I got it done. And, I just realized I have to add something important to this post:

** side note: I was going to post my Etsy account information, but realized I had to put a disclaimer on my page. I realized I don’t like reading articles and an ad pops up and I dislike having to scroll down and pass that ad. I wasn’t going to turn my blog post into something I don’t like reading. (Now if someone would ask me what it is, I would be happy to answer that question)

I am learning and enjoying being creative and that goes beyond just crochet items. Here is how I described one of my items in my shop:

Start your day with style and comfort. Elevate your morning ritual with our accented ceramic mug, thoughtfully designed to enhance every sip. Available in two generous sizes—11oz and 15oz— for coffee, tea, or cocoa. The ergonomic C-shaped handle ensures a cozy grip, while the lead- and BPA-free ceramic construction offers peace of mind with every pour. Whether you are treating yourself or someone special, mugs make timeless gifts for any occasion.

I think I will get a cup of hot tea, because I just need the heat and not the comfort I get from drinking coffee.

Morning Workout

Surprised myself by not playing games, watching TV, or looking through Facebook videos. I got up and actually started working out. Take a calming breath and let it out slowly, knowing this is a great way to start my day.

I realized I had self-consciously started my journey on being a better me. I’ve started working out here and there, but I remembered doing a ten minute chair workout just before going to sleep last night.

When the TV went off, waking me up at 2am. I usually reach for the remote, turning it back on, and going back to sleep. The fact that I got up and did a leg workout before watching something on YouTube. I realized I was keeping my word to myself.

I will lose this weight. I will be a better me. I am smiling at the woman I used to be and will be again. Now it’s 5am. Maybe a cup of hot tea, watching the sun light the sky for another day.

Before Coffee

   I am singing my favorite song : 

                                       I’m gonna get some coffee –

                                                              some coffee

                                          – some coffee 

                                                             – some coffee. 

                    I’m gonna get some coffee 

                                                   – some coffee right now.

I was thinking about going in a different direction. Then I decided, before I make any real changes coffee and get into the Word.Ā 

My mind is on the pumpkin coffee for right now, LD*

Thinking Positive 

September 11th, 2025

Hello future,

First, a big thank you! I know it’s crazy to be thankful for what may or may not happen, but I honestly believeā€ Words and Actionā€ is powerful. 

{} Matthew 12:37 NIV [37] For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.ā€ 

https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.12.37.NIV

James 2:22 NIV [22] You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 

https://bible.com/bible/111/jas.2.22.NIV {}

I am no longer just living day by day and praying tomorrow will be better, because I am not guaranteed tomorrow. Then again I am not going to act like tomorrow won’t come or accept it won’t be better.

It’s past time I put aside all doubts and follow up on each step I’ve learned to set my dreams free. That person who was unsure and afraid is gone forever and I am standing proud and I will make sure my tomorrow is better than today.

{} Isaiah 41:10 NIV [10] So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
