Not the way I planned

So sometimes in life you jump and things just dont turn out the way you thought....that happen to my last crocheting project

Frist find a doily, or crochet one





Cover a bowl with pastic


Next in a pot combine 3 part water and 1/2 part of cornstarch .(I didn't do that..here is the mistake....it should be reallllllllly water down..not so thick) cook until cornstarch is dissolve 


Dip crochet piece in the pot


then cover it over your bowl


You might need a bowl water because it does get sticky 


Let dry over night or until completely dry.

Peel off crochet piece then you have a beautiful crochet bowl :)




You can see the white stuff b/c I mistake up but it all good


Someone told me to that I have 4 options when I make an mistake 
1. Complaint about it
2. Cry about
3. Do something about it
4. Do nothing

I decide to do nothing and it bring character to my decor in my house...

New Job!!!

So a couple of week I got laid off from my teaching job...budget cuts...so I was lost on what to do..without thinking I started crocheting and came up with  new patterns.

 I am so excited to show the world. Right now I only have pictures of one item...here is the close up 



Its a baby sweater that is crocheted in two piece instead of sleeve, front, and back sew together...the reason why I came up with this pattern is because I hate sewing in the ends and I wanted something fast to do for babies instead of booties. I am so excited to show more, but I am waiting to find a cute baby to model it...


Life is great I am learning alot about what I want to do with my life..

Love
Tasha
