New Hobby!

I am seriously obsessed! With crocheting! I never thought I would be so excited and in love with it. With the long days that I worked at the beet dump, I knew I would need something to keep my hands busy otherwise I would go crazy! Here are some pictures of some of the things I've made.










In other news. The timing belt went out in our car. I didn't realize how horrible this was. Let me tell you...it's bad. Really bad. Especially if it's a Volkswagen. European cars are expensive to fix! Grand total for everything: $4,000. Yeah, that's right $4,000. We had to replace the engine and in the process the mechanic discovered the clutch was 90% worn down. Thankfully, the car was with my dad's mechanic so he treated us really well. We had planned to sell the car but then we started car shopping and realized we would be getting a car with three times the amount of miles for the same amount we'd sell ours for. So in the end, we decided to keep it for now.


With $4,000 of unexpected expenses, we are in need of some extra cash. So, I have decided to sell my creations. I have the time to make them and really love doing it. I would so love for anyone that is willing, to spread the word. Here is the website. Take a look! http://lovelydaydesigns.blogspot.com/


Also I would really appreciate any and all feedback!

  1. Oh my gosh! I LOVE them! I wish you still lived close to me....I would pay you to teach Bailey how to do that! She has tried to learn, but I am pathetic, so she can't get any help from me. She can make hats and scarfs on a loom, but she doesn't know how to do anything cute and fancy. Think about offering a class to young girls :)!
