Problem

I seem to be having a problem with my husband allowing me to post on here. Now don't think he won't let me, or that he's controlling (please.... I'm in control). He just doesn't want our personal business out there for everyone to read. I've told him over and over again that there is nothing on here to make him look bad. No matter how I reassure him, He just doesn't follow. He sits and plays his Xbox most of the time, when he's not helping me do something. I just don't know anymore. I guess this lack of followers makes me feel like "what's the point?"....

Addicted to Pinterest!!!

My husband says I have a problem. He says I cheat on him every chance I get. He acts like I'm the only one.... I mean really like his video games aren't his mistress, but to accuse me of being... I can't even say it. Whoo let me breathe a little and try again. (Several deep breathes at the end of which I feel slightly dizzy) Ok maybe I shouldn't have hyperventilated, but he says I'm addicted to Pinterest. Like this is even a possibility. I have told him I can quit anytime I want to, I just don't want to. Now there is this awesome party on Pinterest!!! Where does he think all the neat ideas and recipes and patterns come from? I'm not a magician. I barely have enough time to deal with everyone and everything in one day AND he wants me to be his entertainment, company, game partner, and lover. Ok I know this is all what wives are expected to do. BUT most wives at least get time off when the men go to work. Mine got laid off and is still in the "Vacation" stage. If he doesn't find a job soon I may kill him so I have time to do the things I need to.
         Sorry. I needed to vent a little about him. Sooooo Pinterest is awesome. I don't know why I resisted so long getting on there. I have found lost of stuff to keep me busy(if he'll let me). And many, many things for the monkey. I have already completed 4 hats and the dreaded slippers (more about those tomorrow).
   Oh hi! I guess I lost focus and drifted into the other world and started pinning. I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM!!!! How can it be a problem when there so much there for me to see!!! Ok ok I will finished this post, close the computer and crochet something. I promise.  No really I PROMISE!!!

Until next time, still trying to quit smoking by crafting.... Wish me luck!!!

And now for something completely different...

Ok so I'm going to do this blog a little differently. I am still out of work and trying to quit smoking(the husband and I want kids....) So I have taken to crocheting and crafting/sewing to keep me sane. I have known how to crochet for a quite a few years and have made lots of stuff. I have seen blogs with cool things on them and would like to get some of the patterns I have out there for everyone to use. I also just found Pinterest and LOVE IT!!!!! I never knew there was such a great place to find EVERYTHING...

   Ok, So I have just finished a poncho and hat for my step-daughter who is 2(almost 3). She will be further referred to as "The Monkey". The Monkey loved the poncho and hat so much she would not take them off.

The Pattern for the poncho is the Martha Stewart coming home poncho. I Have made this pattern(and are currently making one for my self) several times. Please note, the edging instructions are slightly flawed so follow the diagram.... The "Jayde's hat, I found at vallieskids. This is an excellent blog!!! I have to give credit where it is due and the hat pattern is hers...

Well that's that for today. I'm making a pair of slippers next and hope they work out....   Until next time hooking is better than smoking!!!
