Bring It on WORLD

MAN oh MAN! It sure has been a hectic week. School, meetings, and not sleeping very well makes for a very long, draining week. The semester is almost over though. Just 2 more weeks.  Then I'll be student teaching!

I have 2 projects going on right now. The first one is Beanies for Babies. Each year around Christmas time I try to do something to give back. This year I have created beanies for newborn babies at our local hospital. People were able to donate money, yarn, and/or beanies they have created. Guess how many I have, just dooooo it. 95!!! My mom has created about 20 some and the rest has been yarn/money donations. I have just a few more weeks to create some more before I deliver them. The babies have to be stylish when they come into the world. Thats what I think anyways. Heres the link to the beanies (if you wanted to check them out) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.253595577991930.67493.195714050446750&type=3

My other event is Around the World with Love. HOLY SMOKES. That pretty much sums that up. Never thought I would get the response that I have. It makes me so excited that all these people are willing to help. THANK YOU ALL A TON! The link for that is at the top of this page if you're interested to find out more information. I will also be posting updates on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Granny-In-Style/195714050446750 I can not express how ecstatic this makes me! For one I love to travel and to teach. So why not put them together. HEELLLLLLO. I started just a few days ago and I have almost reach me goal! WOOHOO.

Lastly I have had a few people ask me about how I came up with my name "Granny in Style" Well I am very far from becoming a granny.....age wise. I am a 25 year old and 0 kids...so that just doesn't add up. HAHA. Well I have been crocheting (trying to) for a long time. My mom taught me when I was a youngster, but all I ever did was the single stitch. I started crochet again this summer. At the time I had a ton of classes to take in a very short amount of time. So I was stressed out and needed 'me' time. Not many people my age crochet and I got a lot of slack for doing it (they were always jokingly doing it). I was being called a granny. AND BAM thats how I got the name. I just went along. If you can't beat them...JOIN THEM.

Saw this while riding on the motorcycle in TX. 
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Get crafty, be creative, and RELAX.
