hi

Well its been a while since my last post. a few months to say the least. Things here are about the same. I've been working right hard on designing some patterns which I do plan on trying to sell on etsy. (wish me luck). I hope to make a full time job out of selling patterns. Maybe pick up a job somewhere teaching pple how to crochet. That would be fun to...I dunno..have to wait and see.
Well anyways...happy late christmas to you all.

It would seem.

I think that its possible, I'm falling into some sort of depression. Or maybe I'm just extremely sad. I'm not sure which. In June, my grandfather died. In September, my Grandmother, this week, a woman who was like a second mother to my brother and I. Nancy was only 51 years old, and nobody seems to know what happened. Her husband went to wake her up, and she wouldn't wake up. She died in her sleep. This has not been the best year for me when it comes to some of the people I know and love. And now, I'm sitting here wondering, if anybody even reads my blog post. I don't know if I even have anybody following my blog on here. I guess it doesn't really matter anyways.

As I may have told you guys, my grandmother passed away at the beginning of August. It really was a sad time. My mother brought me a whole tote packed full of crochet books and magazines. I feel really blessed to have received these. I hope to make at least one thing out of each book. As I do, I will post some pictures.
Right now I'm working on a granny square blanket out of one of them. I don't know why but I truly am "hooked" on granny squares. I don't know if its the simplicity of them or what it is, but they just seem so fun to make.

Anyways!!! I start my new job today. (hooray). I've spent this last week trying to get myself adjusted to living in the light again. It has indeed taken some adjustment too let me tell ya. Whew. I think however it will get better once I get into the groove of working the evening shift.

Well better close this up. Need to start getting ready for work. I just have to decide what set of scrubs I want to wear on my first day, and I need to do something with this mop of hair on my head.

Getting off night shift

So, I'm going to be leaving the night shift...finally...whew...I have really missed sleeping at night. Unfortunately I have to leave my residence behind. I will be going to another facility to work. I will miss most of my people...not the ones that beat the holy crap out of me on a regular basis, but I'm positive I will become just as attached to my new ones as I was to my old ones. I will even learn their names. (hooray).
Anyways, just a quick update!!!!

Week over

The only thing I can say is, Thank goodness this week is over. It seems like it just kind of dragged on and on, but yet flew by like it was on a speeding train or something. I don't know...but I'm glad its over. Unfortunately though, due to the way things worked out, and all the trading I had to do to get certain days off this week, I ended up giving up all of my Saturdays off that I had this month. So for the rest of the month, I have to work, every single Saturday. (boo)

I've got a couple of new patterns in the works that I'm designing. I really want to be a serious professional crochet designer. I can tell you know for sure that I know its not going to be an easy road....but hopefully it will be a good road once I get down it....I will enjoy the bumps and turns of it all, b/c I will be going down it with a crochet hook in one hand, and yarn in the other!!!

Wow, so its like 6:00 AM, and DH is off to work, my pup is on the bed sound asleep with cartoons playing...(yes my dog watches cartoons), and all is well and silent in my world right now. Well with the exception of the washing machine, I did have to start some laundry. Its moment like this that I have time to sit back and reflect on stuff, and just relax and not let everything bother me.

I've been teaching one of the girls I work with how to Crochet. That has been lots of fun!!! I'm thinking its almost time for her to have another lesson. I'm thinking about getting her a book with easy to follow instructions so that she can learn how to read patterns. Maybe I'll teach her how to make a granny square next. Those are fun and easy. And are a great way to use up scrap yarn.

Well thats about it from here for now, I have a shelf I need to put together today that I talked the DH into getting me for my craft room, and lots and lots of laundry to do!!!
Over and out
Me

This is just part of my craft room...the knitting needles are in the living room though...LOL I truly truly need to get everything more together. (not sure that, that will EVER happen though.) Gonna talk the DH into getting me some more shelves today so I can get my room more together....
