Congratulations to myself because today I have reached over 1,000 views!
And not only that, but Sharm Hour has been seen in over a dozen different countries- from Canada, France, Germany, Czech Republic, and Poland all the way to India, Australia, Russia, and South Korea. I truly never imagined that would happen!I started Charm Hour becuase I literally have projects going constantly. I'm even known for bringing many of them to class, which reasonably leads to people asking me what I'm working on. I often get asked how things turned out, and I thought, "Well, I like taking pictures. Why not take pictures of my projects and put them online?" I felt very silly about it at first, and didn't even tell anyone about it except Joe. I kept thinking, "who would care about what I'm doing?"and get all self-conscious that having a blog would make me seem narcissistic.
BUT, I myself love looking at other people's blogs. And I love seeing the truly creative things people come up with. And I figured that you never know, maybe one of my projects would encourage someone else to try a new project, or figure out how to do cables, or just pick up that scarf they've been working on for what seems like ever but never finished. Crafting brings me so much joy and relaxation. Stressful day? I reach for that yarn (and a glass of wine, but hey it's all in moderation). I love creating something new, especially when I get to see someone's face when you give them something totally unique and special.
Thank you to everyone who has stopped to look at this humble little blog.
I truly hope that you enjoy looking at the pictures and trying out the projects as much as I do.
To celebrate this exciting day Oy and I went on a long walk to enjoy the spectacularly warm weather (hey, I'm from upstate NY, 55 is totally warm to me) and take pictures of all the flowers starting to come up!
It would be a little unreasonable to put up all 115 pictures I took, but I'll put up a few of my favorites:
you can barely see it, but there's a little honeybee in the upper middle!
daffodils! they always make me think of those very old fashioned phones.
even Oy stopped to smell the flowers
