I haven't really been on to do more than post a few links lately. Swamped with homework and tests. But I am taking the time right now to give myself an affirmation - and I suggest you do the same, if you are having a hard time of it right this moment. Today my affirmation is:
I am lucky to have the opportunities I have - even if they are a bitch to fulfill. I can do it. (and so can you!)
I will definitely be adding more interesting things come Thanksgiving break (November 23-27??). So, check back periodically, if not then, to see if I have actually had time to surface for a little air.
One thing I have been doing to try to maintain my sanity is creating a crochet slipper pattern for toddler's size 7...a legit size (US) 7. Every free pattern I have tried to create has not turned out (on the part of the pattern creator, not mine. I can follow directions ;) ) so, as is usually the case, I ended up making my own pattern. It's the first in-the-round crochet pattern I've ever created and honestly I have no idea how it came together. Serendipity maybe. Anyway, luckily for me it turned out and is super cute enough that I might make a few other sizes, create an adult size, and sell them on Etsy to order. I haven't decided if I'll make the pattern free to the public. I understand now why all of the cute patterns cost at least $4.00 - because it's time consuming and a pain in the ass if you suck at math and need to draw out the patterns in order to create them. . . like, really time consuming. More than you would anticipate when you start out. So, look for the pattern - and an Etsy account - later. I haven't decided yet if I'll be giving the pattern away or selling it, however. Depends on how strapped for cash I am, lets be honest. I'm not greedy but in today's economy...well, I'm sure you know how it goes!
