I met a friend on here on this diary. I added her on facebook shortly after because i enjoyed our conversations. Like the rest of my friends if i find a meme, news story or cute video i would forward it to them. I found a really cute plant meme went to add it on her facebook to discover she blocked me. We never argued i really enjoyed her telling me about her state that is thousands of miles from West Virginia. I decided instead asking whats up i just let it go. I didnt mean to hurt her if i did. I will miss her. Thank God i have facebook friends that help me through the tough times. I made a mistake somehow. I have no idea how but I really hope the best in her life.
I have been watching youtube videos trying to teach myself to crochet. I obviously have very little skill. I tried to follow a youtube video to crochet a skull design it looks like a storm trooper helmet from Star Wars. The shape is very off hard to identify. I did such a bad job i almost threw it away. Once our bills are in order and i get a payday I plan to go to Joanns and take a class teaching me to crochet better. I plan to buy more yarn. I want to someday good enough to sell scarfs and hats on etsy. I miss being creative.
I got $9 to my name if i could just make to to Thursday payday will save the day. Due to me just starting this job i havent had a payday for a month and a half! My husband couldnt make enough to pay all bills so we are behind. I hope soon we will catch up. I barely have enough gas to make it to payday.. if i am very careful i wont push the truck home.
Talan send me to the store with his card to get cheese for our dinner taco bake at Kroger i saw a thin black cat and tuxedo cat asking for food. It broke my heart. I told Talan what i saw my husband gave me a bag of food for the stray kittens at Kroger. At least tonight they have full bellies. I wish i could save them all. I have no children but i feel very motherly towards animals. I have no idea why.
I feel so grateful my cats live inside they are safe and never hungry. I am grateful they cant be hurt by dogs, cars or strangers. These cats give my sad life reason. I love Coal, Harley, Ash and Ziggy.
Someday i hope to have a nice house with lots of land paid for where i can have a farm but for now due to my income i will settle for my mobile home in a trailer park with my 2 tomato plants. I am grateful to have a place to sleep at night. I guess i am humbled by what life gives me.

I don't think you suck at crocheting at all! It sounds to me like maybe you chose a project that is just a bit ahead of your current skill. Maybe start with making some yarn bracelets, advance to something else? When we were in Maine, my sister's step-daughter (would that make her my step-niece? I guess it would - when they get married to make it so anyway) made me a bookmark. She made the girls bracelets. It was really sweet of her. Watching her made me think that I could also learn. I don't know how, and I know I could learn. I guess maybe I'm not as interested in that as I thought, or maybe I would be learning....or maybe I just fell back into home life habits. OK, now I'm off on a tengent. Have fun!

That's awesome that you were able to feed the cats for now. Hugs.

I started crocheting just by making very basic baby blankets. Single or double crochet, it's good practice. Don't try to do something too difficult right off, you'll discourage yourself quickly.
