See The Beauty Of Crocheting

Crocheting:

The Most Beautiful Craft

For some crochet is noodles and is complicated.

But once you get out of the fear and the confusion

it turns out to be the easiest thing.

When I tried to learned for the first time it was a MESS,

O.M.G. I turned that yarn into knots.

I wanted to quit but my heart really wanted to keep trying.

So I continued...

And I finally learned 

Think of crocheting as making a braid

but with a crochet needle and some yarn...

I made this nice little table mat for my daughter's

chest because she throws her toys up there and

scratches the wood!!!

So I figured something thick and long & wide

will work to cover most of it.

And trust me it was a good success.

No More Scratches, Yay Lol.

  

I made a short video to give you some

of an idea of how to do the simple 2 braids stitch 

& 3 braids stitch.

Don't get overwhelmed if it gets hard,

keep trying, it's worth the hard work!!!

Awesome!!! hope everyone enjoyed my post today.

Please leave your thoughts & if you get to learn from this

please share your work I will love to see your amazing work too!!!

A Bit Of Me

A Day Of Me:

Hello My Name is Olga, and I'm 26 years old.

I'm happily married and I have the most amazing daughter.

And like any other marriage and family, we have our ups and downs

but we fight through them together.

I strongly believe that god puts tests in our paths to mold us to 

be better for the ones we love and most importantly

for our self.

No one is perfect but we work hard to make 

our self the best we can be!!!

The reason why I created this blog is to show 

what I can do and inspire others to be the best they can

 be through the craft, the art, or the food.

If I can do it, you can do it too!

All you need is inspiration and I'm willing to inspire.

I might not be perfect but no one is.

I've been struggling with migraines my whole

life, there are days that it takes the best of me.

But I try my hardest not to let it.

Because I have to care for my family and how it 

affects them to see me sick, and is a horrible feeling 

to feel so sick that you don't want to move.

But I keep going until I can't no more.

All I wanted by posting this was to give you guys 

an opportunity to know me a little bit and to

give you hope and inspiration!!!

May all have an amazing day

And let's inspire!!!!

I Chose to plant chili peppers, it took a 

longer time for them to grow but when I saw my first chili 

pepper. I did my happy dance because I was about to give up

Create A Picture Collage!!!

     Let's Create A Picture Collage!!!

It's Fun & Very Creative

I wanted to have a picture collage in my daughter's room

so she could build her memories as she grows.
And of course her room has a theme
"Sofia The First" and the stores didn't really have
a lot of decorative things of that certain character.

But every time I went to Walmart, Target and Other places

the one's they had were of poor quality and very expensive 

for a little 8 by 10 inch frame. ( & I wanted something big for her room),
So I started brainstorming.

Then after a while of getting ideas, I decided to create my own collage!!!

Let's have fun and enjoy

First here are the things you need to create this amazing project

which are as follows:

• A Cork Board (I got this one in Target. Any size would do, I got mine big because it gives me more space to play with)
• Fabric ( any texture, except sheer. just make sure you get the right amount/length)
• Scissors
• Buttons ( can be assorted, any size & is optional)
• Thread & Needle (only needed if you get buttons)
• Ribbon (any size and texture except sheer)
• Thumb Tacks (any style, or colors)
• Staple Gun & Staples (you'll find these beauties in Home Depot & even Walmart)
• A Table to work comfortably ( I prefer the floor, endless space lol)

So Let's Begin With The Fun Part!!!

Okay!!!

For Step 1, 2 & 3- Make sure that the fabric is enough to cover the whole frame

& that it is even. Now when you get that done you grab your staple gun and 

start at the top on the very edge. Make sure that you have a good grip 

and as you go around the frame that it is nice and tight, because you do not

want it to be loose and flimsy!!! :)

Step 4-  I wanted to show you how nice and tight it looks. (Picture Above)

For Step 5 to 7- You're going to start on the ribbon, you could 

set it up however you wish. I like the "X" best, because I could put the 

pictures in between and not need a lot of thumb tacks.

Make sure you pull tight before stapling it!!!

(Step 7 is on the picture below)

Step 8- Is the ribbon completed.

Step 9- is the buttons part but is optional. But if you decided to put

some nice buttons then Great!!! You could use any color of thread, I used pink!!

because I didn't have any purple or blue...Lol!!

Step 10- is the buttons sewed to the ribbon. I scattered them around,

they don't have to be in a straight line... decorate how you like!!

Step 11- Is picture time!!!! pick pictures for your collage or

you could put movie tickets, anything you want!!! 

And you're Finished!!! Now put it on your wall & admire your Hard Work!!! 

Enjoy.

Remember to post your comments or any questions, I'll be more than 

happy to help...

& Share your pics on the comments so I could see your master pieces.
