Well I'm back at it again!

I just made this blog, in the hopes that I can share my tips/experiences with others. As well as share my addiction for crafts.

I am the wife of such a wonderful understanding PATIENT man! LOL A Mom of 3 awesome kids, that are all grown up now...my last Daughter (the 17 yr old baby) is the only one left at home. I have 2 gorgeous granddaughters that mean the world to me. I am also Mommy to two fur babies.

I am fairly content with my life, other then the fact that I know deep down the last child will be leaving soon. I can feel the "empty nest" syndrome wanting to show its ugly face. But I keep reminding myself I am very close to my children, not a day goes by that I don't hear from at least 2 of the 3 if not all 3. In addition the summers are the best time for all of us. We all get together for cookouts and outings etc, which is really fun!

It also will mean more time for my hobbies/crafts...hmmmm :)

I sometimes wonder if I have some sort of problem though. I mean I certainly can't be the only one out there that falls victim to getting hooked on one craft or hobby then dropping it right in the middle to take on another.....or am I?! LOL

It's kinda funny because all it takes is something to catch my eye and its "OHHHH I'd like to try that!!!" Of course my hubby gives me that look...you know the one, the look of OMG not ANOTHER craft! ROFL

I have an amazing husband though that I think has finally accepted how I am, I mean he must have or he wouldn't have given me a $120 gift card for AC Moore for Valentines Day right?! And boy did I have fun buying up some yarn! ROFL

I am currently back on the crocheting kick. It all started when we visited my Mother in-law over the holidays and she mentioned crocheting an afghan. I got to thinking I'd like to get back into that again. Right now my current project is making my youngest Daughter a granny square afghan with "funky" colors for a teenager. I just finished a V-pattern scarf the other day which she seems to really like. Of course the other 2 kids are disappointed that I haven't made them anything yet. LOL Gimmie time, I'll get to it I promise!

So for now, I guess I better get back to the crocheting if I'm going to get anything finished. Oh and I almost forgot, I'm also in the process of making my fur baby a sweater too! :) I am so hooked on crocheting I tell ya! LOL
