Well, it has been a week so far of me sticking with my blogging. I
feel like that's one small victory to celebrate, at least.
Unfortunately, though, I haven't been keeping up with my crochet plarn
bag as well as I should have. I partially blame not feeling well, but
for the most part, I blame Skyrim. Yes, the video game that came out
two years ago.
Zach and I are pretty big gamers, you
see. We had finally gotten back into Guild Wars 2, but it lacks the
storyline that Zach craves. To fix that, he started playing Skyrim
again, and I sat around and watched for a while which was my biggest
mistake. I realized I had never beaten the game and that I had honestly
not played very much of it due to school at the time. I booted up my
copy and lost four and a half hours the first night. It pretty much
continued sucking up my time.
Not that I spent my
entire week playing Skyrim, though! I've been having phone difficulties
for longer than I would like to admit. My phone is about three years
old, so I can see why. They're up to the what, Droid 4? I'm still
using the Droid R2D2, which is a special edition version of the Droid 2. I've been eligible for upgrade for a while, but I absolutely hate
shopping for cell phones these days! After spending some time on the
Verizon website, I narrowed it down to two phones: Nokia Lumia or the
Droid DNA. (Not that I didn't take time to consider the Galaxy S4 and
its amazing features!) Honestly, I'm leaning towards the DNA because
I'm comfortable with Droid. I don't know though...
I
remembered how much of a love/hate relationship I have with Pinterest. I
love it because I find so many neat things on there; however, I hate it
for the same reason. I can waste so much time on there pinning things I
will probably never make or use. That's okay, though, because it's
inspiration none the less! Besides, who knows when you'll nee that
recipe for air dried porcelain? (Since I haven't progressed much on my bag, I may post some inspiration on Wednesday instead...)
While
I was working on my bag at Zach's house, his twelve-year-old sister
wandered upstairs to see what we were doing. Being another who loves
crafts, she saw my explosion of plastic bags as I was making more plarn
and was fascinated. She asked about the bag, how I was making it, and
commented that she always thought things like that were neat. I knew
she was one of the only people that I could teach (because we are both
left-handed) and took time out of working on my bag to teach her simple
crochet. I promised I would bring her a hook and a small skein of yarn
for her to practice with. In my opinion, that was better than working
on the bag.
That's pretty much what you missed since
last Monday. See? I promised I wouldn't write a novel just because it
was free writing! Be sure to check back for WIP Wednesday.
