Critical thinking

Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you. My Grampa was always “picking your brain” when I was young. I hated this little exercise in reasoning at the time, but as an adult, I have come to realize how important those lessons were. He would sit down at the table with you,Continue reading “Critical thinking”

Thinking Out Loud: Crazy Crafting

I’ve been thinking about fun ideas for a few days now. On my January 2 post, I talked about setting a goal for fun. A suggestion that was presented involved a comedic crazy crafter.

“You can’t hate yourself into improving.”

I came across this video in my YouTube feed this morning. I think she has a unique perspective on self improvement that many of us need to think about. It’s worth a listen.

Happy Sunday

I hope everyone had a lovely Sunday.  I’ve been working my fingers off trying to get stuff done today. I finished the whole front side of the rocketship pillow I’m making for one of our grandsons. At the end of that session, I needed a break from single crochet stitches, so I learned the PistachioContinue reading “Happy Sunday”

Where do the hours go?

It’s Thursday night already! I have worked a solid eight hours on crochet today. I got a lot of work done on the projects I have going, but that’s all I did today.

What’s the reasoning?

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? After reading this question, I thought, “Yes, it seems most everyone has special dishes that are only prepared for special occasions.” Then I began to think about it further and I stumbled upon the question of why. My mother-in-law makes cooked dressing onContinue reading “What’s the reasoning?”

It’s Monday again!

Hello friends. I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend. We made it to the beginning of a new week, and for those of us we made it through the first of the holiday season. Last week I was feeling the old anxieties the holidays always brought when I was a child. This morning I spentContinue reading “It’s Monday again!”
