It seems just like yesterday he was in pre-school.  Now my son is 18 and over six feet tall!

Today I would like to speak on a list of really cool crochet youtube channels. I love youtube! Don’t you? Youtube has helped me a bunch on learning crochet stitches and projects.

 Good evening my Crochet Queens and Kings, It's Latoya and just checking in. I know you were probaly all wondering, what happened? Yes I stopped posting for a couple of days. The holidays and new years have always been a hard time for me since my mom passed in 2009. Since then, the holiday spirit on my end always seems gloomy.  Sometimes you have to change your mindset, and kick those negative thoughts out the door, and out your life! I have been building up my self esteem and confidence, and you can too! If you or someone you know has been a little overwhelmed, share this! I stumbled across a little w-book that talks about ways to help you reach your goals. This book is called "From Zero to Hero". It also has an added bonus of a meditation plan. If you are like me and do yoga and meditation this is a great free tool.  https://www.digistore24.com/redir/336857/Latoya319/
