There is one think I carry in all these bags and that is my F Hook. I use the F crochet hook for all my crocheting, not unless I am working with thread. I love the the size of stitch it makes, the feel of the hook in my hand. Someday, I would like a sterling silver F hook, but that is someday.
I carry my F hook and my thread hooks in a pouch I made.
These little pouches are so easy to make.
Here is my pattern for making one of the pouches. They can be used to hold your needles, your pencils, pen, chap stick.
Supplies:
Your favorite hook
Yarn of your choice
Split Ring
Button
Chain 2
Make 5 hdc in 2nd chain from hook (5 hdc)
Work in rounds.
Make 2 hdc in each of the 5 hdc (10 hdc)
At this point you just keep working in rounds with HDC until you have the length you want.
Once you have the length that you want, you will now make the flap.
*5 hdc, chain 1 turn*
Keep completing the above until you have the length you want minus 2 rows.
Each of the pouches I make has a different size pouch flap.
Once I have the length of the pouch flap I make 2 hdc, chain1, skip one hdc and complete 2 hdc, chain 1.
Complete one more row of 5 hdc, fasten off and sew in ends.
Attach a button as you always attach buttons.
I don't cook as much as I would like to. I just don't find the need one person. It is easy to put together a salad, sandwich and eat some fresh fruits and vegetables. This year I do plan on cooking more and sharing some of my most favorite dishes.
I am a big, big milk drinker. Love milk, the colder the better. I would have to say that is the favorite thing in my fridge, and even better with cocoa and candy canes.....
On thing in my heart is being the best and doing the best I can. That doesn't mean, doing better than others or being better than others. It means to me, meeting God's expectations that were designed for me.
There are times that I will finish a project. It is acceptable and encouragement is there from people, but I look at it and say, "there is a higher expectation". I have to ask myself, is this God speaking to me? I think it is....
Classic example are the salt dough ornaments I gave a tutorial on. I started those on a Friday night and finished on Saturday morning and was pleased. I hung it on the tree, but inside, there was something that said, this is not your highest expectation. When this happens, I pursue further without stopping until I hear that voice that says, you have reached and met the expectation. I could be way off, but to me that is God telling me, that in this particular instance, there is a higher expectation.
After it was all felt and done, the final result was, I gave a good basic tutorial for salt dough ornaments but it was expected of me to go beyond and give a great tutorial. I worked all day on those yesterday, and way into the night until I heard what I needed to hear.....
I will of course stay with the basic tutorial and add to it in time, but there was and is more to write on this subject....
I'm hoping that I can become a better writer.......
