The beginning

Well, a very close friend of mine whose blog can be found here http://redneckriver.blogspot.com/2010/11/howdy-yall.html?spref=fb recommended that I start a blog. I have been told by lots and lots of people I should write a book. I have never thought I was that interesting, but I thought perhaps what my family and I have gone through will help others. Plus this will be a place I can say what I want about anything. You will see things about my kids, my husband, my friends, my life, my crafts and anything else I can think of. I can not promise I will write every day or even every week, but I will do my best.
Let me start by telling you a little about myself. I am 37, I have been married for 19 years and have 3 children. A boy age 18 a girl age 12 and another girl age 7. My husband is 39 and works in a meat packing facility. We have been very lucky that when a lot of other people have lost their jobs in our area he has been steadily employed. I am disabled and do not work. However I use to work. I was a Home Health Aide for more than 11 years for the same company. I LOVED my job and I miss it greatly. More on that subject another day. Right now I am sitting at my local McDonald's because I do not have Internet at home. I like to come here so the kids can play and I can use their Internet. The best of both worlds. I love Facebook and try to get on their every day. I love to do crafts and do many kinds. I especially like crocheting though and I have very recently been working on some pinwheel sweaters. I found the pattern on one of my favorite websites, Crochetville. If you like to crochet this is the place to go. There are many great people there and so many wonderful things to look at and to make. I also really like to sew, but haven't done that in a few months. I make jewelry too. Beaded and chainmail. I have a favorite store I like to visit to get my beads. The name of the store is Ellacinder's and it is in Lewisburg, Pa. The owner Cindy and her daughter Lauren are 2 of the nicest people I have ever met. I think i will stop here for now. I seem to just be rambling, but this is the first time I have ever blogged. If anyone reads this tell me what kind of crafts you like to do. What are some of your hobbies? Do you have any favorite websites? Do you have a favorite store to shop for your supplies?
