Pride

When was the last time you were really proud of yourself?  I mean, really proud - like this proud:

 

Yup, that's my son. He just finished that dinosaur puzzle pretty much by himself.

If you haven't felt that feeling lately, maybe it's time to find something new and challenging. And when you succeed give yourself a thumbs up, and maybe even a glass of chocolate milk.

 

Easy Weekend Project -- Embroidery Floss Storage

This is a super simple project that you can do over the weekend that will accomplish a few things bigger projects just can't:

1. Near immediate gratification -- It will take you less than 10 minutes to finish the first one, and it'll be so pretty you'll have an immediate sense of accomplishment and desire to organize all thread related materials  BONUS: you might actually do it this time!!

Crochet Beaded Necklaces and Bracelets

Here's an arial view of a few things I'm working on right now. Care to go in close and take a look? Let's start with the big bowl of fun in the corner.

 

This bowl has the beginnings of my beaded strands restock over at Modern Mouse.  

Crochet Bowl Love

Contain yourself!

And anything else you want because the bowls have arrived – and there are, of course, more where they came from. Some greys, a few moody blues and some bright picnic colors will all be arriving in the coming weeks.

 

Where can you use a crocheted bowl? Anywhere!
