Learning New Things

   For awhile now I've known how to make my own things by crocheting. Nothing detailed, just basic crocheting; single and double. I had stopped crocheting mostly, I was just to busy and not interested. However, recently I've been able to go down to part-time and I really want to take that extra time to learn new things and of course spend more time with my family.
   One of my goals is to learn new crochet patterns, specifically for blankets. I've seen some really cool blankets in the past and wished I was talented enough to make them and now I'm going to try. I found some free patterns at Hobbii and I can't wait to try them, but unfortunately I'm in the middle of making 2 blankets so I do have to wait.
   Second thing I'm trying to learn is sewing. I can hand sew, but it's not well and I just don't have the patience. I bought myself a little sewing machine and I've started my path to learning to create through the magic of sewing. I would love to be able to make myself outfits, do diy gifts, house items, etc.
   I'll try to stay active and post my projects and other such life stuff.

  Happy 4th of July!
