I'm Baaack...

So, it's been one or two years since I posted. It's been since my last New Years resolution. I was trying to log into my old blog but I don't remember the password. I suppose I can link to it somehow? Anyway, let's see if I am more motivated than last year!

So, I've not been good about posting...

I certainly haven't been good about posting on this new blog since the beginning of the year! Part of that stems from my laptop period key not working and me being lazy about copying and pasting a period from somewhere else. It took a while before I even figured out I should do that! This has been a nice week as I've been off work all week while my husband took his annual golf trip to Florida. It's my chance to have time alone, which is something I crave since he works from home and is usually around when I'm home. I'm someone who needs a little space! Since I've started this blog I've started a market bag (crochet) and I'm 95% finished with it. Of course I moved on to my next project before finishing it because I got bored. I'll try to finish it today even though I've been saying that for a week now! I did find a shawl at Ravelry that I'm trying to knit. I haven't knit in many years and only finished a couple projects when I did knit so I'm having a really hard time. I seemed to be doing ok but stopped by the local yarn store to ask a question. I ripped out what I'd worked on because I was told I was doing it the wrong way but it turns out I was right. They did suggest a bigger needle though since I appear to be a tight knitter. I bought a bigger size and tried starting over but it doesn't look as good as it did before. Is it because when it was smaller it was harder to see mistakes? Not sure but I'll give it a try again today, while it's light out, and see what happens. I'll try to post a picture at some point. Enjoy the day! It's supposed to get close to 40 degrees here! YAY!

New Beginning

Another New Year! This year I have decided to not procrastinate and to live without fear of failure. I have so many interests but nothing I'm great at. I have so many unfinished projects from so many hobbies. I want to learn something and not give up. I have crocheted since i was probably 8 years old but all I can make are scarfs or anything squarish. I need to advance! So, I will finish the current scarf I'm working on but will try something more complicated once I'm done with it. Hopefully I'll get my computer fixed because I'm typing from my tablet, which is very time consuming! OK, off to crochet!
