Woohoo!

I finally got the blog up and running!  Welcome to the Yarnery!  I'm the deranged yarn lady- Momma J. I've realized I have a bit of a love affair with yarn. Sad, I know- but oh so true. A few months before my son was born (about 4 years ago), I began to nest. Nest lots of YARN. Fast forward almost 4 years later and I dug it all out and taught myself to crochet (thank you YouTube).

There is something about the feel of yarn when I'm working with it and knowing that shortly (or sometimes years later) something magical will take shape. Good thing I can do this because honestly, I'm not that great at other crafts. I do have a crazy sewing machine that I haven't used yet but that's another story for another time.

So why blog about yarn and crocheting and god knows what else?  Why not! I've started my very on Etsy store (link is in my about me section) where I make homemade crochet and household items.  I would love to have a little place to show you about my life and my crafts.  Plus, too, I'm a barrel of laughs.

These are my favorites to whip up right now. The multi-functional dish/washcloth are made of Lily Sugar and Cream in Chocolate Ombre. One of the reasons <3 them is because they will last almost forever and are so much easier to care for. When its time, throw it in the washing machine and you have a clean rag again. You cut down on the nasty sponges and they are even soft enough for your own personal washcloth. I used them for our dishes, my washcloth, awesome for scrubbing my bathtub.  The other nice thing is they do help cut down (long term) my expenses. Trust me, it's nothing life altering but its money I can use else where.

One of my goals is to use the extra money to start to cut out our debt and to eventually work on getting a place of our own. A nice little hobby farm somewhere with some crazy chickens, a goat/sheep (still not sure but I'm thinking sheep so I can eventually make my own yarn) and a beautiful milk cow. An awesome garden that can provide us our vegetables and maybe an orchard. Yep- its all about the yarn!
