NEWS FLASH...Jenn has learnt how to...

Hmmmm...I don't see myself as a "crafter", the word makes me think of baby food bottles, glitter and glue, just the thought makes me cringe.  Remembering a certain craft project from my girl guide days brings back the horror of the above items plus a few plastic flowers.  You got it, I was making my mom a baby food jar covered with glitter and filled with plastic flowers, when I knew she would like perfume and real flowers. I am sure with each season she dreaded the endless hand turkeys, toilet paper roll vases and glitter Santa Claus which littered her fridge and dinner table.  How we torture our parents as children...laughing.  My poor mom had three of us...I can just see her face now looking surprised and delighted..."it's lovely Jennifer, you did a wonderful job"..."Oh Kimmy-Anne, it's beautiful"..."Jordie, as she turning every which way, you are so creative."

Well, I have officially come out of my hiatus...No, I have not taken up the glitter baby food vases with plastic flowers, I have taught myself the art of crochet.  Yes, News Flash..."Jenn has learnt how to crochet." I am uncomfortable at just saying this...my hair color is finally influenced me.  Just for the record, I don't find this relaxing at all...and how all you can chat and not look at what your doing is absolutely amazing.  I shall never reach that level of greatness, however I have great appreciation for your talents and I bet you all are great typists.  Did I ever tell you I bribed my typing teacher if he passed me in my grade 10 typing class, I would never become a secretary...rofl.  He told me if I spent as much time practising my lessons as I creatively avoiding my lessons, such as playing AC/DC in the taper recorder...I might actually pass on my own merit. 

I always wondered who made the Toilet Paper Barbie Holders...I was thinking I would make a few!!!
Unfortunately, Bruce said he would move to Montana if expand my repertoire. So the extent of my crocheting is making mason jar Hipster sleeves.  I will be looking into all kinds of wools and a variety of colours to make eclectic, eccentric, and unique sleeves over the winter months.  I'll be posting my sleeves soon.  Here is my test subject in a basic light brown chunky wool...I like the texture and coverage, but I think it needs my personal touch of "Jenn" to make it stand out.
