it doesn't have to be perfect to be good

It has been cool and extremely rainy here in New Jersey. My pain has been excruciating, unfortunately. As a result, I have mostly been sitting in bed. I have been able to crochet a lot. I also wrote some poetry recently and I painted a rock to look like candy corn. One of the items I crocheted in the past month is a frog stuffed toy. I feel I could have done a better job with sewing the various parts on the frog stuffed toy. The sewing process is always my weak spot with crocheting stuffed toys. However, my friend loved the way the frog turned out, so I am elated. In fact, my friend even ordered one for their kiddo. As always, I appreciate your support. Please consider buying something from Green Owl Crochet. I also accept crochet commissions. I hope you all are doing well! Ciao for now.

behold, summer

Howdy, folks! Summer is in full swing here in New Jersey. It's mostly been hot and sunny. Although, as I write this, it's cool and raining. I have been crocheting a lot, and also making some postcards, paintings, and other fun things. The other day, I used alcohol inks to color sea shells. I used Mod Podge and bits of tissue paper to decorate rocks on another day. I recently got LASIK eye surgery, and I'm still paying off the costs of the surgery. If you would like to support me, please check out my Etsy shop, GreenOwlCrochet. I also accept crochet commissions. Thank you!

cozy season is almost over

The cold weather here is almost gone. Spring will come soon enough. In other words, the seasons of coziness are almost over. I'm looking forward to the longer days and then trips to the lake during the summertime. The kids I babysit got me sick again, unfortunately. I have been able to crochet a lot and also get in some art-making and writing sessions. I just adore this picture of my sweet cat, Grace, modeling a lap blanket I made. As always, if you enjoy my work and would like to support me, please check out my Etsy shop, GreenOwlCrochet. I also accept crochet commissions.
