I know, I know. It’s been too long. I admit, I am not the world’s best at keeping up with much of anything.
But I do have reasons! I’ve been making some of these:
Minion hats! I found an absolutely wonderful little pattern on ravelry, and My goodness, people have been requesting non stop for me to make them/their kids one! So, I’ve been hooking it up. There are about one million more I would like to make for folks. Alas, there don’t seem to be enough hours in my day…
Another reason is that yours truly has been teaching a crochet class! It’s offered through my work. This all started when my office’s original instructor couldn’t teach due to a recent surgery, and since I’d posted a couple of pictures on facebook of my work… it got out that I know a bit about the basics of crochet.
I am a certified early childhood teacher, and I have taught at the college level, but let me tell you, I was nervous about this crochet class! Teaching a group of students for hours at a time a skill that involves muscle memory, math, and specific instructions made me doubt my abilities a bit. However, the students in the class are wonderful, eager to learn, and it looks like there’s a chance we might band together to create a community crochet group – exciting! I was informed at my last class by the students that apparently there is no place in town where beginner’s crochet is taught. I am more than excited to try to start a group and crochet with others! Finally – a wonderful use for my ridiculous yarn stash!

Last weekend I also celebrated a birthday…. a rather large-ish one. I celebrated by going to a fancy dinner with 4 of my favorite girls in the whole world, followed by some spirited fun at a girl’s sleepover. I may be another year older, but I am still a big kid at heart! I love my girlfriends immensely. The next day (my actual birthday) I spent with my husband, enjoying life (and continuing to get our house closer to being on the market. The goal is by Thanksgiving to have a for sale sign in the yard!
I won’t be a stranger on here. Mark those words! There are way too many exciting things I’m making for Christmas presents, and I’ll need *some* place to share them so I don’t spill the beans to my friends and family!
Happy Veterans Day, all!
