I am feeling wildly good the past few days. I accidentally sold a purse I had designed for myself. I say "accidentally" because I hadn't been looking to sell lol. I crocheted a Wonder Woman inspired cross body, posted it to FB, the next thing I know a friend is asking if I am selling bags. I said yes, and sold it because I could always make another. I posted that excitement in a group I in on FB, that lead to lots of people asking for the pattern and to me currently working on writing it up to sell it! All this time I had been hoping I would be able to think of something brilliant to make and all I really needed to do was to make what suited my nerdy heart. Needless to say that my brain is running rampant with ideas right now.........
Then the next great thing happens. My friend that bought the bag asked me if I knew how to make the Owl Blanket, offered to pay me to make it and pay for all my supplies! Ive never made it before, but I'm very sure I can kick it's ass.
My finally bit of awesome was a FB friend request from another author. A while back I friended an author who's books I am totally wild about. He also inspires my hopes and dreams of someday writing a book that just might be a best seller. I am rather proud to say that I have near ten actual published authors on my friend list. My brain is also going full speed with ideas for a book that good friend invited me to work on him with.
Fame and Fortune here I come! I can't wait to share how this all turns out. Right now I am finishing up my pattern with a second pattern brewing in my mind. I am voice recording book ideas as I crochet to save time and so that I don't have to choose. Go multi-tasking!

This blog has been born nearly as many times as I have children lol. It's been a journey, and a bit hard at times trying to figure out how to make it something everyone will want to read.
I've discovered a few things along the way. Mostly that I am not writing for EVERYONE, I am writing for me and people like me. I swear, often, because I fucking can. I have good days and bad, sometimes I just want to whine about them. Or bitch about my kids, or whatever. I make stuff, I think I'm pretty fair at it, I wanna share that. If I have a kick ass mom hack I wanna share that too! I promise I will label my posts, it helps you lovely readers find my patterns, recipes, stories, and whines more easily.
If you are of a delicate nature, no offense meant, I will not be hurt If I am not the blogger for you. HOWEVER, if you need to complain about how offended you are or bring some sanctimommy junk my way I will lock that shit down so fast. I do not have time to judge other people and I will not sit around waiting to be judged either. I try to operate from a place of inclusiveness and you have no place here if you can't/won't do the same.
I have been married to the same dude for nearly 23 years, we have 5 kids and a grand kid. We have cats and dogs. I like to cook, bake, crochet, and pretend I can sew lol. I am also quite nerdy, and I own that shit with PRIDE. I have no tolerance for misogyny, the patriarchy, racism, abuse, and general asshole behaviour. I'm also sick, I have several chronic illnesses that blow, but I still try to live a life that I can enjoy.
So soon to be new friends (I hope so at least), I bid you good day because I am wildly exhausted and i need a few minutes before it's time to feed some kids again. Onward! To dinner and pattern writing!
