My 365 Project - Day 18

I love creating....anything. I've always loved crafting. I've made candles,jewelry,home decor,toys, costumes, you name it I've probably tried to make it!
Growing up we had a little old lady neighbor named Netty. And it wasn't that I was young and just thought she was old. She was already old when we moved in, and she was really really old when we moved out almost 20 years later. lol She was great, she used to tell us stories and show us pictures of how our house used to look when it was first built. She told us about how different the town had changed throughout the years, and she gave us ice cream.One day when I was about 9 or 10 I saw her crocheting a blanket, and I asked her if she could teach me, and she did. I've been 'hooked' ever since. She passed on a few years back after we had moved away, but she remains in the heart of my family in funny stories about her, and in the little lessons she passed on to each of us. I think fondly of her whenever I pick up a crotchet hook.
I've been working on some crocheting projects all day today, so I thought it only fitting to take a picture of one. This one is a scarf I'm working on. I think she'd be proud. :)
