I will say I took a Crochet class at a JoAnn's in December. It has helped me with my need to do hand-work! I haven't done much, and I am not that good, but I am still practicing, when I can. I also had gotten curious about this coupon craze that has seem to come back with out economy struggles. I have found that sitting and clipping coupons with scissors (not a paper cutter) has helped with my want to cut fabric! Hillarious HUH!? It's fun to do and I mainly clip them and send them to friends who really rock at this coupon craze! I keep the ones for the products that we buy, but it's not much. Coupons seem to make me buy things I would not have normally bought anyway! LOL
Anyway. I miss you all and know this is a season, but wanted to post! We're due anytime! Well the date is Feb 4th but we know baby picks the date! :)

It's good to see you're still out there! Keep practicing with the crochet - you'll get better. Or you could always try embroidery. There are a TON of free patterns out there (trust me, I know, they've been tempting me lately) and it's something you can do with few supplies.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love hand embroidery! I'd love to get my hands on some pre-printed material and floss and needles! Right now, I have the yarn and the hook that came with the class - so YEAH! Getting supplies on a missionary's budget is tough. It's hard to 'justify' using our donations for expenses for a hobby. Especially when our funds are no where near our expenses. We live on mucho Faith! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat to "see" you too KATIE! I miss the APQ Crew very much!!!

Thanks for the update! You do look like you're ready - any minute! Hee Hee!! Soon you'll have even less time for hobbies. But that's OK. Can't wait to see the new little one.
