Bookmark crochet pattern

Hello my dear, I love reading and because many ask me you with 2 twin toddlers and a baby where do you find time to knitt, read, clean, crochet, cook and all the other things that a mother does.


Let's start with the beginning and slowly. I have a routine. My routine includes time for me. How do I manage to have time for me ? I'll tell you a secret, I put the kids early to sleep. 

Around 18 o'clock or 6 pm I start with the boys the cleaning. We put away all the toys, and while they put away the toys I am cleaning with the vacuum cleaner. Yes my children didn't always picked up the toys, but I made it as a routine, and at a point when I was always telling it's cleaning time it's cleaning time they started putting away their toys. Then we go to bed we tell a story, I usually invent one with animals and with things that I want them to change in their behavior. And around 6.30 p.m. the boys are going to sleep, and I'm putting the baby to sleep to. 

From 7 p.m. starts my me time, where I knitt, or crochet, than I go take a bath, and before going to bed I sit down and red 30 pages or more. I always read at least 30 pages. In the beginning it wasn't this easy at it is now, but the day I started putting the children early to bed, I started having the me time, feeling appreciated, loving myself each day more.

I wish that this article will inspire you and bring you hope.

So now about the books, I love using in my books crocheted bookmarks, especially 
roses as bookmarks. 



Here I will leave you the links for the YouTube videos crocheted bookmark pattern and the rose pattern

Crochet, knitt and yarn buying

By Katy -

  How many of you that knitt or crochet or do both, didn't buy yarn just because the color was amazing, or there where on sale at the yarnstore, or for some projects you never started or finished?   Why I ask is because I do it too.😆   So what we can do with all that stash? What can we do when we "hamster buy" yarn?        One thing that helped me to slow down this "hamster buy" is when I see the yarn I start writing down the projects that come in my mind. I start focusing on new projects so I forget about the online sale and get a yarn that I have in my near and start making that project, to see if it comes out woow or will I frog it. 😆👌     Another thing that helped me stop buying unnecessary yarn, cause the sales keep coming, is to stop boxing the yarn.      If you have all your yarn in boxes you won't be able to see what you have, so in many cases you will buy because you don't know what you have.   ...
