All Things Crochet

I know that I use this blog primarily to talk about This So Called Life, however for you followers out there I am interested in knowing what your thoughts are on hearing a little about crochet? Like free patterns, or links to purchase patterns that I have created. Also I may possibly start offering to local New Mexicans Crochet Lessons. Let me know your opinions and your feedback! Thanks!!

Friends

How many of you 80-90's kids have been looking for the adult friendship that those of "Friends" have? I know I have to an extent. I mean obviously at some point we all have to grow up, but what about the times that you get a "break" (if you will) from being an adult. What about then?

Does one then get to meet at the coffee house, and own ducks and chickens in an apartment?

Who knows, what I do know now is that it is those friendships that are few and far between that can really make the difference. Like a "single" friend coming to your house with your 4 crazy dogs and 2 children to see your new digs and eat dinner that can truly make a friend. Who knew those friends could be so close and yet so far away at the same time.

You know who you are.

In This So Called Life it is the little things that count.

A New Baby for Auntie Em

Today an incredible thing happened!! My little sister had her first baby!! I can't believe that my own flesh and blood had a baby!!! I have two nephews and a niece already (through marriage), and I love them dearly. But there is nothing like having you own sibling bring a child into the world. I wish I had been there to support my sister, on the other hand though with no medication I can't believe how much of a trouper she was. What a beautiful baby she and my brother in law made. I wish I was there now to soak it up and hold the little angel. Unfortunately I am at least 8 hours away with 2 children of my own on one salary... So it may be a few weeks before I see my new niece, but the fact of the matter is I am Auntie Em!!! You can laugh all you want, but I am Auntie Em and the thought that someday my own little "Halford" baby will come running to me saying Auntie Em!! I missed you, just makes me cry. I love you MAlex!!! You have no idea how excited I am for both of you to start this new journey in your life together. I can't wait to meet my little "LEV" and hold her, and kiss her. Congrats!! You couldn't have made this Auntie any prouder!!

In This So Called Life  it is the little miracles that make the difference.

Did you find my motivation?... I seem to have misplaced it.

It is interesting how at times one can just keep on trucking on like a hamster running in a wheel... Then there are those other times...

After doing some research through support groups with Etsy I now understand that initial sales don't always come easy and for some people it can take up to  6 months just to make sales start coming in... How does one keep that motivation up and keep that wheel from squeaking in the mean time?

I've been told several times to just keep making stuff... But I don't know where to begin... It seems that I am the only one with ideas and in my opinion clearly I am not having the best ideas of or I would be selling something... Right? Maybe I am just being impatient or to hard on myself... But since I have nothing else to do in my spare time except to crochet in my busy schedule right now I find it hard to keep up this pace.

In This So Called Life what do YOU do to keep motivated or to get advice??
