Superwoman Gift #1 - Why I Crochet

Superwoman Power #1 Why I Crochet

Good Morning,

I wanted to go in to detail a little bit with you all about one of my Superwoman powers ;) Crocheting. I am sure many of you are asking yourself why I crochet and how I find time to do it? 
Background
I have been crocheting since I was around 10 or 11 years old, I was taught by a blind woman who lived next door to me. She use to crochet with bread sacks and make rugs and purses. Anything you could think of I am sure she could do it. She was my inspiration, a very good teacher and one of the best mentors a girl could ask for. At first I was no good at it, but I never gave up. I am in my 30's now and I can crochet anything. I still haven't found anything that I haven't been able to crochet. 


I crochet because it helps me make money and it helps me save money, sometimes along the way if I am lucky I also get to teach someone to crochet to :) 
Making money helps me to be able to pay for sporting events, medicine, glasses, make homemade healthier products for my family, and to be able to buy more yarn, so that I can make hats, gloves, scarves, blankets and such for my boys and my husband. 
Saving money is important to me, by crocheting I get to help my family save money on products or items that we would have normally purchased at our local store. I make our own hats, scarves, gloves, blankets, booties, electronic device covers, purses, bags ect. That saves a huge amount of money, plus it last alot longer than the ones bought at the store. The money I make from my crochet also pays for the small things, which in turn saves us money because when I do our budget for the month I still add the small things into our normal budget, if I sell crochet that is great because it saves us money. Selling crochet also helps me get the supplies I need to make healthier, toxic free, health, beauty, and household cleaner products for my family. This saves us money because we do not take as many trips to doctor's and E.R's. We don't buy products I can make at the store anymore, that saves us a bundle. The products I make are not only toxin free, but the quality is excellent and the shelf life is longer than what is normally purchased at the store. 
I could go on and on and on, but I am pretty sure that your getting the idea. Everything that I do is done for my family, it's all linked together.

Now how do I find the time? Well let's just say I am extremely good at multi-tasking ;) Most of what I do is done within the two hour time frame that my youngest son is in school. I can crochet anytime, I could do that blindfolded. Everything else waits until all my boys are in bed, fast asleep. I run myself ragged and I am tired most of the time, but I wouldn't take any of it away for anything. I know that everything I do helps my family, I have seen the results, so it is not hard for me to push forward.
There it is ........ a little insight from my Crazy Life!!!!!
