The little things in life are often the best 

20/3/2014

5 Comments

 

There are so many things in life that we love, it can be as simple as family and friends or as extravagant as a fast car or big house. Since I am not rich there is no fast car or big house here LOL
So i went with the simple things in life and most times they are the best !
Things I love and in no particular order.....

- Family - my family is the best and they are so supportive - Love them to moon and back x a million - well you get the idea 

- My BFF (best friend forever) - Lisa has been my BFF for such a long time and we have been though some funny, sad and most of all awesome times. We have lived together, went to school together and share the love of crochet together
There is soooo much I could type but i would be here for hours sharing the funny stories and silly things we get up too.... we are more mature now .... ** cough ** ohh who am I kidding, we are as crazy now then we ever were :) :) 

- Friends - I have 4 really close school friends that I Have known for MANY years and they we are there for each other no matter what - they are awesome and I love them forever and a day 

- My nephews - OMGoodness I love them to bits and they are such a big part of my life, they remind me that life is meant to be fun and playing in the leaves, looking for bugs, eating play dough and getting sand where its not supposed to be is what life is all about - well it is when you are 5 and under or you are a 36 year old that acts like you are still a kid :) I actually tasted play dough...I don't recommend it....really salty.... yuck.... now I am picturing all you with access to play dough having just a nibble Hahahahahaha...don't say I didn't warn you ! 

- My husband - We have been together for nearly 13 years ! WOW times goes fast when you are having fun, we have been married for just over 1 year and have been through so many things together, some sad :( but most of all he makes me laugh and we are stronger now than we have ever been ... ok, ok ...enough of the mooshy stuff ... 

- Bob - awww Bob, he was our dog, he was awesome...... tear....... we had him for 12 fantastic, happy, smelly, sleepy, lazy and did I mention smelly and lazy years. He was our son, we didn't treat him like a dog, he slept inside, had run of the house and he was SPOILT !!!! Did I mention he was spoilt ?? Hahaha He will be remembered for as long as I (and Hubby) live miss him like crazy and can not believe he has been gone for just over a year

- Crochet - wow - what a ride !! I have my BFF to thank for that, if Lisa hadn't had made me sit down and learn those few stitches 12 years ago, well lets just say that no one would be reading this post and I would probably working a job that i dislike. The last 5 years (that is how long I have been uploading videos to YouTube for) has been a roller coaster of awesomeness !! I have chatted to 1000's of people from all around the world and made great friends in the process
What more can I say .... Crochet - I love it !

Yarn - well you didn't think I would leave that out did you ? Oohhh yarn how i love you so ! I am a huge fan of Red Heart and in particular the super saver, its cheap and can be used for so many projects. I love all yarns and my fav colour is the Red Heart super saver turqua ...mmmmm... so pretty ! 

Owls - I love owls... not the real life kind in particular, the cartoon type - but then it has to be a certain type ... no I am not fussy or anything ;)

Well if you have read that far, thank you for sticking with me and learning a little bit about me and my loves of life - there are many more but I dont want to put you to sleep :)

Hope you are having fantastic week 
Happy Crochet 
Clare xx

How wonderful of you to share so much of yourself with us. I am an admitted C.A.D.D. sufferer (that's Crochet Attention Deficit Disorder, a phrase I coined in a blog post a while back) and I love watching your videos and your patterns. Keep up the great work!
