I have 3 kids, schoolwork and house to take care of. However, I would love to start crocheting more as I haven't picked up a crochet hook in months. I just can't seem to find the time. My kids are 1, 2 1/2 and 4 1/2. I definitely...

shawnasie I have been able to get a little crocheting in at times recently. I have been combining it with the few hours of t.v. watching time I get in the afternoon (when I get it!) I have also cut down the time I spend on other frivolous things. I am getting a little...

shawnasie Thanks for all the additional advice. I will work on getting the kids to nap at the same time as well as ask for more help from my husband. I just wish he would offer to help more or at least not give me attitude if I ask for help. He seems to think that...

It's getting to be that time of year again when scarves will become useful. Where I live it can get pretty windy and cold. I am wanting to sell some to get some extra income, but I am unsure where to start. Does anyone have...

shawnasie What price would be good to charge for each individual scarf? How many scarves should I have made before I get a booth at a fles market or craft show? I am afraid to sell on Etsy because I know my stuff is not half as nice looking as many of the other items on...

shawnasie Getting away from the computer is going to be tough for me. I think I may be addicted! I spend time connecting with friends and family and doing schoolwork. I have cut down on my time spent on it though. I think I may start crocheting more when watching tv...

shawnasie I can't really wake up any earlier because I need my 8 hours of sleep. If I go more than 2 days without those 8 hours each night, I get sick. My body just won't do it. My children do nap in the afternoon, but I can't seem to get them all to lay down at the...

shawnasie I don't feel like I am still a kid. I mean I have 3 kids of my own and a home of my own. I guess the kids are what is making me feel so old. Thanks for the nice words of encouragement though.

shawnasie Thanks for the encouraging words. I know I am still young, but I just get depressed thinking about it. My daughter and I made a cake today and my husband promised that once we get a little extra money he will do something for me and get me something. I...

shawnasie Maybe someone has a car like yours and they have been reported for doing something wrong. That is definitely a possibility since many people have similar cars. You could even call the police station and ask them if there is a specific reason. Sorry I can't...

shawnasie It must be nice to have such an outgoing personality. I have never been outgoing. I was even shy in kindergarten! I guess I just need to learn from people like you and my husband. Maybe I just have to deal with the personality I was born with.

I use them to store my loom knitting stuff in all of the time. I also keep some yarn in them. I think I use them to store more craft items than in the kitchen. So, what other uses do you have for these ziploc bags?

shawnasie I need to do that. I was really good at doing that about 1 1/2 years ago but since I moved it has been very hard to get on a schedule again. Thanks for the tip.

shawnasie Sticking to a schedule drives me nuts too. I am one that likes to spend all my extra time with my family and it is hard to complete what I need to do when I do this. Thanks for responding.
