I have been crocheting since I was a child. My Nana taught me when I was about 5 or 6, and I made blankets for years. I still have some of the ones my Nana made me, plus my very first, extremely colorful blankets.
I stopped crocheting when I was about 15 years old. I got other hobbies, and slowly lost interest in crocheting. Fast forward to about 10 years ago. I had just quit smoking after a 20+ year habit and needed something to do with my hands. I found my way back to the hook, and my passion grew from there.



I have made many items, and have even learnt to knit and weave. I made a few small designs, and have written plenty of patterns or almost patterns but never really pursued it. Until now. I have many ideas in my head and I’m ready to try them out. First design is coming soon. I have so many more to come so stay tuned.




Here’s the list for February. This month I read a few graphic novels and actually finished two actual books. The rest were audiobooks. I have an addiction to listening to audiobooks,. They remind me of my childhood when my mom would read to me. I also used to love story time at the library. Audiobooks takes me back to those times. I also love the fact that I can take the story anywhere I go.
1. Invincible : Eight is Enough – Robert Kirkman & Corey Walker. (graphic novel)
2. Invincible: Perfect Stranger (same as above)
3. The String Diaries – Stephen Llyod Jones (audiobook)
4. The Interior Silence – Sarah Sands (audiobook)
5. Shook One – Charlamagne Tha God (audiobook)
6. Create Dangerously – Edwidge Danticat (book)
7. Getting to Happy – Terry McMillan (audiobook)
8. Humans of New York – Brandon Stanton (book)
I have been trying to broaden my reading interest. I usually only read crime or mysteries. So this year I am going for books like biographies, art books, and fiction outside of crime novels. I also realize that I am now a much slower reader. It takes me way longer to finish an actual book. I know it’s because I have to sit still, hold the book and read. That takes away from my creating, which I can easily do with audiobooks. I am trying to dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to actually sitting down and reading. It hasn’t taken on the form of a habit yet. But I will keep trying.
President’s Day is today, so most people were able to enjoy a 3 day weekend. I was one of those people. I spent Sunday and Monday reading, crafting, packing orders and resting. My usual weekend routine. But on Saturday I participated in a pop up shop. I haven’t done one since December so it was time to jump back in.

This pop up was at a new to me location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn called New Women Spaces. It’s a really cool space that is a community organizing space. The atmosphere was really nice. There were at least 10 vendors all selling wonderful products. There was even live entertainment and tarot readings.




Overall it was a successful event. My hair and body oils and my incense were the top sellers of the day. And I met a lot of cool people. I’m glad I decided to get back out in the vending world.
