Beanie Weather!

2018 was a year that brought me great sadness, joy 

and a new thirst for learning more crafts.

I decided that 2019 is the year of Creative Flow for me.

I have a few crafts I want to learn and crocheting is one of those.

To be more specific, beanies and socks.

I have always been able to make scarves, but only had knowledge of two stitches. lol

Yarns purchased at Walmart for now.

I have purchased some yarn from Walmart until I start to master the beanie and sock process.

Then I have a few online venders I will be buying hand dyed yarns from.

My first attempt at a beanie.

After a few hours on youtube, I finally found a great how to video for a slouchy beanie.

Larger!

Once I get the beanie finished, (hopefully after the holidays)

I will post the finished product.

Have a wonderful week.

Dollar Tree Find & Craft

It's Friday!!

I hope you all had a wonderful week.

I really did. Lots of prayers being answered for my family, which has 

relieved a lot of stress.

Thank you Jesus!

So, one of my favorite stores is Dollar Tree.

I found some great fuzzy string, as my granddaughter Avy calls it.

Instantly I knew I wanted to use this for covers for my Nook & Fire.

I did not want them to both be the same colors so I decided to make one purple and the other green.

I really love how they came out.

So this year I am making these for Christmas in July gifts for my girls.

Here is the Nook cover

And the Fire

I had a little bit of both left so I decided to use some of the fiber in a design I created to make the 

Jellyfish Candy Earrings.

I am putting these in my etsy today.  I really love how they came out.

You can check them out here

Tonight we are going to the Crest Theater to watch a screening of 

Batman Forever.

My favorite Batman is Michael Keaton.

A little history on the Crest Theater.

It was a popular spot back before the 80's.

Mel Brooks use to own the historic theater.

A group here in Fresno wants to restore it.  It is gorgeous.

So in order to raise money for the restoration, they show all types of movies.

I will definitely take some photos to share.

What are your plans for this weekend?

Have fun!

Here it is...... 2018

I guess the old saying

Time goes fast when you get older

is no lie.

I swear it seems like it was just the beginning of  2017 a few weeks ago.

And I did not get one goal accomplished that I had set for myself.

As you can see procrastinate was my word for that year.

Actually work got in the way of a lot of things and now looking back,

that will NOT happen this year.

This year I chose a much different word.

Its probably not what you think...

To me the meaning of unicorn is that one thing that is elusive, but

if you wait or look hard enough you will find.

I know its like a bucket list, but on a much higher level.

Like last month i was able to achieve one of my unicorns.

We went to the Foo Fighters concert!

Yes it was amazing!

So this year, I am looking for my unicorns.

I only have a few goals for 2018.

1. To read all the books by Tarryn Fisher.

I chose her because after reading Bad Mommy & The Never-Never trilogy she wrote 

with Colleen Hoover, I was hooked.

Colleen, you are next!

2. I am going to learn how to wire wrap & crochet.

For the most part, I know only two stitches in crocheting and I want to broaden my knowledge.

As for wire wrapping, since I love playing with sea glass, it just seems like the next step.

3.  I am going to continue to walk every day.

I am currently passed my goal of 100 lbs lost.  

And just have about 40 more to go.

And that is it...

What goals have you set for yourself?

Have a wonderful weekend.
