Well, here it is a new year and a new decade. So I am taking the plunge into blogger land. Not too sure how often I will be updating this. Perhaps whenever I have something clever to say. lol New Years Resolutions- keeping it simple I want this to be the year of finishing things. Esp when it comes to my crochet projects. If I counted all the wips (works in progress) it would be embarrassing to say the least. 100 or more is my guess...........sigh. It is so easy while working on one design, an idea for another one pops into my head and there I go. Simply must grab some more yarn or thread and give it a whirl to see if the idea is a good one. It must be some form of CADD (crochet attention deficit disorder). Around my house we joke about ADD, since number 1 son is riddled with it still at age 27. We saw a t-shirt in a catalog once that said "I'm not ADD, oh look, a duck" Since then when the blank look appears we blame it on the ducks. lol One must simply keep a sense of humor about these things. It beats pulling out hair by the roots.
For Christmas I made my first amigurumi toys for the grandbabies. What a lot of fun these are. I found quite a few freebie patterns on the Lion Brand and also Caron websites. There are some great books out there too. I've managed to collect 3-4 of them now. A wealth of ideas for easy, quick b/day gifts. One grandson has already put in an order for several ones he wants. If there were a way to crochet a version of the Lego Bionicles I'd be inducted to the Grandma Hall of Fame......
Well time to work on finishing some projects. Have a great start to your new year everyone!
