New Year, New Ideas, New work, New Me?

Well... not exactly a new me but I am trying to be the best Me that I can be. And with saying that I have to tell you that after 2 and a half years of threatening to try yoga I finally did. I joined Ann Green's "Bliss" studio and have jumped in with both feet. Ann is running a program called "Blissology" which has me up and down to the studio by 6:00am. I know most of you can't believe that I can actually get myself vertical at that time of day but I've done it. I am at the beginning of the third week and still going. I feel so happy with myself for persevering and trying something different.


As far as new work I am crocheting new funnel shapes which I will add to necklaces. Right side up or up side down my work always ends up looking Dr. Suessish. As long as it brings a smile I've done my job.



When I was young people use to comment that I always had a smile on my face. I lost that for a number of years but I hope I'm getting it back. For the past year or so strangers have stopped me to say they like my style or they like my glasses. I must be smiling to give people I don't know the courage to stop and talk to a stranger. With that I hope I can pass on that smile and encourage you to "shine on".



Here's what I have done with the new funnel shapes. Flower vase necklaces.
