Wow. How long has it been? I have been MIA for quite some time now. I took a break for a while as I had too many things going on in my personal life and I needed time to recover, figure out how to deal and get back to 'normal'.
But I'm back now! There are still many things that I need to work on, but I'm back. I've finally picked up my needles and hooks again and it feels great! I had tried to get back into my hobby a few times before. I'd start a project but never be able to complete it. But I've already completed a few projects over the past few weeks. One of these projects was a VW beanie. This was actually the second one I made. I forgot to take pictures of the first before I gave it to my customer. Oh well! |
I was also able to finish a new hat and matching monster for my son. It was crazy hat day so I just had to make him something! It had to be his favourite colour (blue) of course. I didn't have a pattern for this set. I just made it up as I went. The furry blue yarn was a bit hard to work with as it kept catching on my hook when I didn't want it to. But I still like the end results. The monster isn't quite finished yet. I still need to add some blue and red horns. But my son loves him. And that's what matters.
The picture is not a great one as it's my daughter wearing the hat. Or at least supposed to be wearing the hat. I couldn't get her to keep it on long enough to snap a picture let alone get her to look at me!

Want to know what else I've been up to?! I've started my own youtube channel! I've got two videos up so far. My first one I did on my tablet. So the quality looked good and I didn't think anything of it. But after I uploaded it, it didn't look as nice. So my second video I did from my camera. I think it turned out better. I am still learning how to edit, as I've only finished two videos. I need to learn how to cut sections out of my videos. I haven't been able to figure that out yet at all. But it's a start, and I'm happy with where it's heading. There is a box on my website here that has my videos as well.
