Crocheting Fun!

So my coworker/friend Anna taught me how to crochet a couple weeks ago and I'm now officially addicted! I find myself in a trance almost when I'm working away on the little yellow baby blanket and find it very calming. I've always been in awe of those crafty people who can make jewelry, knit, crochet, needlepoint and mold clay pots...I've never really been the arts and crafts type of girl but it does intrigue me. I wish I was more artsy-those people are very laid back cool...the effortless kind of cool ya know? At first this whole crochet business was a bit hard I must admit but with patience Anna was able to teach me how to single crochet and then work into the basic stitches. I have this "beginner" book and really I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to do the pretty flower loopy or zig zag stitches but this regular stitch is already pretty so I'll stick with that for a while. My great grandmother, Bee Bee, was an avid crocheter who made blankets for our entire family. She even crocheted nativity sets one time! I love my pink, white and navy blue blanket she made for me years ago. Bee Bee is in Heaven now with all the rest of our loved ones and the Lord, and it brings me great comfort to be able to wrap myself up in her love each winter. I hope to be able to make something so beautiful one day to give to my friends and family. It may seem a lil crazy but I am making this soft yellow baby blanket for my future child...he or she will like it I think. One day. No, I'm not pregnant...dont freak out. It's cool...there's a long road to travel before that happens, but in the future I hope to be. Next on the agenda-a red blanket for Bella to use in her bed!! :)
