My Brain

Memories.
I love taking pictures. Capturing a moment in time is like magic.
         These are from a recent trip to Myrtle Beach.


 

 
 
 
 Anyway, about 5 years ago, I began to carry a book to write down everything. I call it my brain. This is my current version......I got the idea at Dollar Store Crafts.


 My Brain is also very important as I get older. I find that I can't remember things like I used to. I used to fight this, stubbornly arguing with my husband that....
                                               "No, you did not tell me to pick up the kids".

Whatever, they all made it home eventually.

I'm a Hooker!

Self-Improvement.
So, I decided to learn to crochet. I figured it will prepare me for my future in the Nursing Home. So in my surfing around I found Maybe Matilda.

She was teaching step by step how to make a cowl. Awesome timing. Anyway, I purchased a crap-load of yarn (yes, that is a unit of measurement), and began to crochet. I have been very pleased with the results.

Cowl Collage

Since I completed the cowl, I have done 2 headbands (with patterns purchased from Maybe Matildas Etsy site). I had to give both away however. Apparently I have some sort of head dysmorphic disorder and think my head is much larger than it is. Luckily, I have big-headed friends.

My ultimate crochet goal at this time is to make a Cunning Hat for my husband.







We LOVE firefly. If you have never seen it, stop reading this immediately and go find it on Netfilx. You will not regret it.

/sigh. yep....Firefly is great.

Welcome to Me!

Hello and welcome to my life. I am an over-49 year old woman, living with my husband and 3 sons. I invite you to join me on a journey of self discovery and growth. I will try new things, like maybe losing some weight. And greet each day as an adventure. I will try to (sometimes) overcome my sarcasm and attitude to enjoy the next 50 years of my life. On second thought, no I won't.
