Crafts of all kinds, crochet cooking, baking, homeschool, motherhood

This can tie into Take time for you Tuesday.

So I think it is safe to say that I love to crochet. And one of my favorite youtube channels is The Crochet Crowd with Mikey. And last month the announced a mystery CAL (Crochet Along) So I went out I got all the yarn I will need for the project got a new set of comfort grip hooks. And I went to town on last week’s clue. I found it a funny clue.Granny squares. I just laughed because I have been working on a granny ripple and before that I did a giant solid granny. And now I am working on the drop in the pond and that too is Granny stitch. It is granny world here lol.

But to tie it to Take time for you, I get the kids all set up the night before for school so they can just go without me. I put on a movie and just go to town on the clue. (I should also add that they post the clues on Tuesday mornings.) I sit with my coffee my hook my clues and just go have a good time. That is my time. Yes the kids may pop up for help but that is fine. I homeschool so it happens. But I make sure that I take that time where I can do something fun and for me.

So just remember take some time for you. You matter too!

Hope all is well with you and yours. Have a great week and Happy Crochet

Take Time for you Tuesday!

This is anything may be one of the most important post I will make all week. There are some many people in this world that give and give and forget to take time for themselves. And to have a happy and healthy life we need to take time for ourselves.

Now for me that is After the kids go to bed, and my husband is at work. The house is quiet, all is calm and I can let my hair down and relax. Most nights I just crochet a simple project till i drift off into dream land. but before I settle in for the night. I brew a cup of something hot. Most times it is a cup of hot cocoa or tea. and just sit back and zone out while I drink my cup of hot yumminess.

So what I want you to try for this day and the new year is take time for you. Time even just 20 minutes read a book, write a poem, take a hot bath. Enjoy being in your skin. You are beautiful, let your beauty shine! So that is your task for today take time for you!
