Distraction

I am looking for distractions, I am currently unemployed, house mom, who is feeling depressed and not happy about a lot of things. I have no motivation to improve anything at the moment. Not looking for ideas, but crocheting has become a happy distraction. At least I feel like I am accomplishing something. I have given up working out for the time being, I miss it. I have given up being hungry as well. I do not want to get along with anyone but I dislike arguing. Right now my sanity seems to be tied up in yarn...I feel like I am drowning in upset. It’s the weirdest thing. I just want to pick up and move, and never look back. Any ideas on a place to go that is always peaceful? I want no one to argue with and no one to judge my every movement, no micro managers allowed.

Also I made another baby blanket the other day, and I gave it away, I will try to remember to post a picture of it when I can. So this is number three that I plan to give away at church this Sunday, going to hopefully be one every Sunday until caught up. Should be interesting to say the least. But is is safe to say that I will not be buying any more yarn from Target, it wasn’t that bad, but the knots every so often were more often that I would have liked due to splicing. Several in one ball over and over is useless to me. Right now I am working with Premier yarn, Sweet Roll, colorway Jello Pop. I really like this combination.

Busy Camping

Recently my family and I went camping at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. We had fun and we also visited Ka Do Ha Indian Village, and we searched for diamonds and arrowheads and artifacts, for days at both places. Lots of things were found, sadly we did not turn up any diamonds. It was a little pricier than we expected since they only had AAA camp sites, instead of A or B sites. There was no McDonalds, or cheap places to eat either, lunch ran $70+ for the 6 of us, although it was delicious. If you would like further information about out trip just message me and I will let you know our findings. What I did find in this whole process is that, as I have known how to crochet almost my whole life, I now have a new pattern that I found in a magazine recently for making baby blankets that while up in a jiffy. I mean like 8 hours or less straight. This meant I was able to start a day or two before we left and I was able to finish halfway through our camping trip. I was disappointed that I was not going to have anything to work on for the trip home though. Apparently I did not pack enough yarn goods. I did want to include a pic of the finished baby blanket, it has already been gifted and was received with an exuberant “Yes!” I have to admit that made me feel good. I am already working on another one or two, lol, and have many plans to make more since the couples at the church having babies like there in no tomorrow, God is good, because the babies are sooo cute.
