School starts in a week!

My organized yarn basket

Thanks to my grandma for providing me with the basket, I worked pretty long to untangle the yarn monster that once was there.

Thinking about the Future

This afternoon, I was in the car with my mom heading back home from Sonic, when I thought of an interesting idea. Lately, I have been feeling down and unmotivated to do anything, and I want to know how I can get that inspirational spark back this summer. During the last school year, I felt like if only I had time to do this and if only I had time to do that, but now its summer and I got all this time, and I haven't done much of what I wanted to do. I did, in fact, finish reading a book under a month, and I finished making my friends hat, but I still haven't given it to her and I feel so bad about it! Plus I want to at least make a buck or two this summer.

But for now.......

I am fully charged and ready to tackle all my goals. I just started and energy boosting diet and I reorganized my yarn basket yesterday. Boy, you should've seen it. It was pretty bad, and now I double take it sometimes because it was so bad before.

But anyway, my idea today was to think about starting crochet classes. Now, I've been thinking about this for a pretty long time, but then another thought gets in the way or I lose that motivation just like that. My idea was that I could not only teach kids to crochet, but I can teach adults who maybe want to gain their hobby back or make something for their friends or family. I have to work hard if I really want that dream to come true, I just need to believe in myself and know that I am STRONG and capable for anything I want to keep my mind too.

So, moral of the story: Process takes time and motivation. Take that time to motivate yourself to project that perfect idea you have. If you got it, SHOW IT! Not to be pushy or anything. 😊

Therefore, this week I want to make something other than a hat. I'll make a blanket or a backpack or something. I found a few cool patterns on youtube that I think I want to try. I'll touch base on what I decide to do.

Finished New hat

I decided to make a smaller purple hat because the first one I made was a little too big.
Took me no time! I also experimented with the stitches by making a smaller chain instead of the recommended number of chains.

Here's the original pattern: http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/malia-beanie/

New Pattern!

Howdy!

Tonight, I am going to start this beautiful hat and maybe even the shawl. Now that I'm full of inspiration and corn chips, I feel mighty and motivated to finish this hat next week. From what I saw on Pinterest, it looked like the people who posted that they tried the pattern and they all said it was an enjoyable process. This pattern is definitely out of my comfort zone, but I'm not afraid to take the challenge. As long as I'm getting something good out of it.

I'm going to be using yellow yarn and my favorite crochet for this pattern. My goal is to get the hat done by next week. Wish me luck! Just kidding. No one even looks at this blog anyway.

New Hat - FINISHED

Howdy!

I finally finished that blue hat I've been making for what it seems like a year. I really like the fit and style of this one because the front-post-double-crochet adds a nice texture and cushion to the hat. My friend ordered this hat during the last week of school, and she told me that she wanted a pom pom on the top. So I need to add that on the hat before she gets it. I will definitely make more of these in the future.

New Hat

This week, I am making a blue front post double crochet hat for my friend before she leaves school next week. I owed her this hat since 9th grade, so I'm trying to hurry and make it for her. I will send an update on how it looks when I'm done!

Door Mat

I'm thinking of making a doormat for my room.
