Hexagon Crazy!

I have been crocheting for 4 years now, however I did not get serious about my now passion until the birth of my son a month ago. The idea of a few key stitches added together in such a way can literally make thousands of patterns and designs. It is mind boggling. Recently I made my first hexagon, aided by the brilliant blog found here http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/2008/11/hexagon-crochet.html. I love hexagons! I am obsessed with the variety of color combinations and things I can make out of these wonderful shapes. It is amazing. If you love crochet and are looking for a new way to spend your time, I suggest checking out her blog on how to make them. I am sure you will love them just as much as I do.

Happy Creating!

Urban Jungle Crocheted Slouchy Beanie

I have looked for years for a slouchy beanie pattern that even slightly resembles the one you see in stores and across the internet. Finally!! Here is one designed by Vickie Howell http://www.caron.com/vickiehowell/patterns/urban_jungle/urban_jungle.html Her pattern is so easy to follow and gives you the perfect result. Not only is this hat fashionable. It is so comfy and warm. In fact my fiance wore it after I had finished it and wouldn't take it off! This hat can be worn by a male or female, it is truly great! I suggest you try it out. If you need pictures to assist you I suggest you read, http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/post/12884250592/urbanjunglebeanie where she gives you step by step instructions with pictures. Have fun and happy creating!

The Art of Creation

I love crocheting. So much in fact that I spend the majority of my free time doing it, as little as that free time may be. I have my favorite designers, however I can never seem to sell anything. Looking around on Etsy, blogger and other sites, I had a revelation. Creating! That is where the money is made. Do not get me wrong, I do not do this all for the money. However when you have a 1 year old and he goes through diapers as fast as Noah does.... trust me you will need some extra funds. So I have been making one hat in particular for a very long time. In fact I taught myself how to make it and added the embellishments all by myself at 17. Why not make this my first pattern to sell? I know it like the back of my hand, or maybe a more fitting pun would be the flip side of my hook. :) So prepare yourself people of the crochet world. The first pattern for sale from Dani's CrochetedCreations will be the Earflap Beanie! Coming soon to an Etsy store near you. ;)

The Importance of Healthy Food

After the birth of my son my entire life changed. I slept less, I ate differently, I exercised.... Oh wait. I didn't exercise. Around month 6 of my son's birth I realized that I still had not lost all of the weight I had gained during my pregnancy. I was lucky enough to only gain 33lbs, and Breastfeeding helped me to lose 15lbs immediately after the birth, however I was not happy with my body. It was then that I purchased Insanity and truly began trying to get fit. After my first round of Insanity I saw some results. My body was toner in areas, I felt more energized and I was not in pain as I would have normally been. However I still struggled with some excess weight.
As life sometimes does, I was thrown some curve balls and my fitness path was set on hold. During this time I began eating differently. I put aside the soda and began to drink lemon water or green tea. I ate healthier choices instead of fast food or pre-made convenient meals. I will not lie and say I cut out all of the bad choices, because I do indulge myself to goodies at least once a week. However everything is in proportion. Since my diet change I have at least dropped 1lb a week. I have lost an additional 15lbs and the scale just keeps going down. If you are ready for a change in your body, the easiest way is to start with your diet. Here is a great and healthy recipe for you to start off with.

Healthy Chicken Salad 


1 1/4 cup plain, nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup grapes (cut in half)
1/2 cup apple (chopped)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
2 cups cooked, chopped chicken
Mix yogurt, grapes, apples, and nuts. Combine chicken and yogurt mixture and place on top of salad or on whole-wheat bread.
Total time: 20 minutes (if chicken isn't already cooked)
Total servings: 4

You can find great recipes like this from http://www.fitsugar.com/, or other blogs such as mine! :)

Family

It is so easy to forget what truly matters in our lives. This past week my grandparents visited us in FL, from NH. The trip was wonderful and it was wonderful having most of our family together again; whole. This trip marked the second meeting for my Grandparents and my son. After a week full of joyous memories the time came for our sad goodbyes after a nice family lunch. Outside of the restaurant I took a picture of my son and my grandparents. 
This picture is significant to me in many ways. Of course it is of my son, and his Great Grandparents, but it is also so much more. The shirt my grandmother is wearing belonged to my Great Grandma Barbara, (My Grandfather's mother). Looking back at old family pictures my Great Grandmother always wore that shirt. It is often a family joke to mention the shirt when we think of her. My Great Grandmother Barbara died before getting the chance to meet my son. Looking at this picture of the three of them together shows just how strong a family bond can be. Most importantly it shows what I live for each and everyday. Family is something that  exists in and around our lives each and everyday. Most people do not take notice of when their family comes or goes. They may not kiss their loved ones goodbye each time the part ways, however they have to notice how much it hurts once they are truly gone. Revel in the love of your family. love every second that you spend visiting your grandparents, fighting with your brother and holding hands with the ones you love. You do not realize how lucky you are to have them until they are thousands of miles away.

A picture says a thousand words....

For all of you "new" moms out there here is a post just for you! Well by new, I mean a new baby, so if you are a first time mom, or are on number 5, you can do this with your little ones. The idea is not purely mine. In fact my stepmother did this with my younger brother and sister and when I saw it I thought it was brilliant. Not only is it easy, but it is fun and years later you can look back on this project and all of the lovely memories will flood back to you. It is as simple as taking a picture...well many pictures. On each of your child's monthly birthdays you take a picture. For example: my son was born on July 19, 2011. On August 19th I took his 1 month old photo. Every month I did this, and recently we celebrated his first birthday. Looking back at all of the pictures it is incredible to see how much he has grown. From a tiny 6lb 1.3 oz newborn, to an almost 30lb toddler, the photos are truly amazing. I am so happy I did this project with my son, and will continue to do it with any other children I have later on down the road. Here is how Noah's turned out. 












Looking back at these pictures shows me so many things. Of course I see the growth of my beautiful son, but I am reminded of many precious moments. I am so happy I took each and every one of these pictures.  I have so many pictures of Noah but these tell a story all their own, and one day when he is old enough he will look back and see just how much he grew and I can share all of the wonderful moments with him.
