If you want to learn to crochet..

My aunt crochet’s & she is really good at it. When my mom’s sewing machine broke down on me last year (before I got mine)..I was thinking of other crafty things to do…so the book dork in me (as in: the librarians know me by name & the way I get things done at the library)..which is I research books I want before I get there & then browse around a minute… but anyway I went & checked out possibly every book I could on crochet. It taught me alot (but teaching yourself from a book is a lot harder than having someone there to show you what’s going on)..

Here are a few that have actually HELPED & not made me think “what I am doing to myself?”..

Here are some YouTube video’s that also helped..

1. How to do a slip knot stitch (the very first stitch)…

2. How to make a chain stitch

3. Single Crochet

4. Half Double Crochet

5. Double Crochet

6. Triple Crochet

7. Slip Stitch

8. Weaving in the ends

Happy crocheting…

My Family

Hello and welcome to my blog.

My name is Jessica. I am 21. I

love to sew, scrapbook, &

crochet. I am a totally

different person than I

used to be and I have my

family (Adam, Aidan, & Adisyn)

to thank for that.

 

PThis is the love of my life.

I have been with Adam for 4 years.

We have 2 amazing, wonderful

kids.

Aidan is my little boy. He just

turned 3 in March. This boy is such

a funny little guy. He was born

weighing 1 pound & 13 ounces. He

was smaller than a 20 oz. coke

bottle. I am so glad that he is

happy & Healthy. #

Then came Adisyn. She is so sweet

& Funny. She turned 1 on Feb. 1

I’ve fell so in love with them. They

are the center of my world.

Always have been & always will be.

I’m so blessed to have

these little kids in my life making

me smile. %

I hope you enjoy the pictures. If you

would like to share your family, please

feel free..

add them to my facebook.

Narrative Writing Tutorial

“A narrative tells a story. Telling a story aloud is very different from writing a story down on paper. When a story is told out loud, we tend to "hop around", leave out important details, and forget to explain characters. In a sense all of that is okay, our gestures, expressions, and tones of voice can carry a lot of information. The reader of a written narrative expects more and needs more. The story cannot be simply "talk written down.”

Mint.com

It is a site that helps you manage

your money and see where it goes.

It is FREE, so no gimmicks or scams.

worth.”

awesome site.

When to call the doctor if the baby has a fever.

My son and daughter (Aidan and

Adisyn) got sick a little while ago and

all I could think about is..Should I call

the doctor or should I just keep giving

them Fever Reducer. Things like that do

scare me, because Aidan was an

extreme preemie. He was born at 24

weeks (16 weeks premature). I just

thank God for an awesome hospital-

The University of Louisville

Anyway..back to the point.

When do you KNOW to call the

pediatrician, or treat at home.

I subscribe to PARENTS via email.

& I got this..

The No-Panic Guide to Fevers

They also have an article called “When to

call the Doctor if the baby has a fever”

I hope I’m not going to get in trouble for

copywriting if I post this on my blog. I just

think the site is fun and informational

and wanted to share it’s contents.

Please head on over to

Parents & start your own

Mommy notebook

You can save articles

to your notebook so you

can access them anytime.

They have awesome

recipes for babies and

toddlers.

send me some links..
