     One of the great things about crocheting is that it's portable, the supplies - a ball of yarn and a crochet hook - can be easily carried anywhere, making it perfect for crafting on-the-go.  You can even work on your crochet projects while you're waiting in line, on a road trip, or anywhere else you find yourself.       Sometimes I don't have any particular projects in mind, so I crochet pieces just to keep my hands occupied while indulging in other activities such as watching TV, videos, or reading novels. Over time, I've accumulated a collection of pieces. Some I have used soon after completing them, while others have found their way into my stash of unfinished projects (UFP) , which I believe every crafter has.     Recently,  I resolved to finally confront my pile of unfinished projects - a task I have attempted several times before, only to end up with more added to the pile.    While digging through...

         After counting all the granny squares, 43, I knew I was nowhere near to a blanket, and I have some new ideas I really wanna try. Never be able to resist the temptation to start a new project until finishing the old one, that's my big problem, and that's how those UFOs are hidden in my closets. But not this time, this time I'm determined  to finish this project ,  in another way.                             40 squares are used, still 3 left, but only 3, that's a miner problem, right?

       Ever since seeing that beautiful granny square blanket on "Big Bang Theory",  I've been wanting to make one. After reading a few crochet books from the library and some practice, do, undo, redo, I started this big project. I did a few blocks and got some odds and ends, that were too short even for the inner circle. I hated the mess and I hated to throw them out too, so here's the idea: A scrappy look  cross-body purse. Add lining to it, a zipper pocket to hide some secret money LOL I didn't stop there. I know it's almost summer now, but winter will come, then I'm ready, we're ready. No idea how many squares are  required to make a blanket, as a beginner, i'm allowed not knowing that, but it seems a lot, 9 blocks make a throw pillow cover, up to now, I made 28 of blocks.
