Hi Lovelies,
Guess what I did the past weekend- I re-learned how to crochet again!! I haven't crocheted anything in almost 15 years- it was so easy to pick back up. Although, honestly I have only done the simple crochet, but I plan on moving on to more complicated patterns soon. This particular scarf that I am wearing is up for sale in my Etsy Shop and I will have more to come soon! If you want an infinity scarf in a particular color, let me know and I can make you one- I am selling them for very reasonable prices.
This makes for two items that I have marked off my bucket list in the past month- first my Etsy Shop {I sold my first item last week!} and now crocheting! It feels great to finally accomplish things that I have dreamed about doing forever. I have a couple more goals that I am working on as well- losing the last few lbs and also growing my nails.
What are some goals that you want to accomplish and are working towards?
that color blue is gorgeous! so cool that you made it!

Good for you going after what you love! I am all for that! Etsy is a GREAT starting point! I learned a lot about business from it and has given me a driving passion to just GO FOR IT! Great blog!

I've never learned to crochet but oooooooh, would I love to try! :) Go, you talented girl, you!
ReplyDeleteOnce you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy & it's rather addictive, I must say!

ReplyDeleteAww thank you girl! Means the world to me for you to say that :D
DeleteI love this! I am a big believer in chasing one's dreams! I have had a lifelong dream of volunteering for a year overseas and I am getting closer and closer to making that a reality. Beautiful post Melinda :)

Great scarf. I love the color! I just took up crocheting last year around Christmas. I've only made a scarf and a baby blanket for my nephew. But, I have ambitions of doing more this year. I think an afghan will be my next project.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
this blue is amazing! Maybe if you want we can follow each other? let me know ;)!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!

oh that's a talent I WISH I had! Beautiful job, and beautiful color! Love it. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Melinda! Just wanna say PROPS to you for opening up a store on Etsy, especially if it was your dream!
ReplyDeleteI made a post recently called "Dreamer" where I talked about my desire to start a blog for so long (I know, small dream, but I get intimidated easily!), and I finally got past my fears and just did it. It feels good! So congrats to you for crossing a few things off your list. :)
Also, I'm obsessed with the scarves you made and have visited your store on Etsy twice already today. Such great prices for such cute little projects!
Now following as well! :)

ReplyDeletei'm actually a knitter and have just picked it up again.
awesome! i crocheted as a kid and want to pick it up again too. i will attempt to learn one day and then slack for months, then repeat the cycle haha. hopefully it will stick next time!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to learn to crochet but i can't seem to pick it up! Knitting is more my thing, so I'm using it in my final piece for my fashion and textiles project :) check it out!
