Tired of hearing about Britney!

I guess you can tell by the title I'm tired of the Britney saga. If the paparazzi would leave her alone for a little while, she might learn how to function like a normal person. I could not imagine the press following me day and night and watching my every move. I made a ton of mistakes when I was her age and still do! Granted she doesn't make great decisions but why thrive on other people's misery?????? I feel better now that is off my chest.

I'm really excited to share one of my first projects with you. Since I am a beginner, I've been sticking to safe projects like beanies and scarves. I branched out and now have created my first purse!

I am very unsure about how I'm changing over yarn. If you have any secrets please share since I am having nightmares about my creations unraveling! I have done some research on the subject and really still not sure which is best. I am tired of crocheting in one color!!!!!

I want to do so much more, but hate the feeling that it won't stay together. Do they have crochet therapy to help with this??? I guess with time and experience I will become a little more sure of myself.

That's all for now! Off to find my next project....

Take a Seat

Thank goodness the holidays are over! Normally I'm not a scrooge but this year was difficult since I went back to school. Any family that is living on one income is a miracle as far as I can see! Since I am a starving student I decided to save money and make a few gifts. I didn't realize that I would start a hobby that I couldn't resist- Crochet!

My grandmother crocheted as I was growing up and she could make just about anything. In fact she made this pin cushion for me when I was about 8. I told her I wanted one for my Barbie dolls- LOL. Little did I know-after she passed away- I would become addicted to this wonderful art. I have looked everywhere for a pin cushion pattern like this but can't find one anywhere! So in honor of her-I now use it for it's intended purpose and have begun to crochet.

I will be sharing projects and problems I encounter along the way. Please feel free to share advice and your projects too!
