Sometimes with all of life’s up and and downs you just need to recharge. I know it has been quite a while since my late update. The past few months have been a roller-coaster with an unexpected death in the family, vacation, holiday celebrations, sickness, visits with out of town relatives, and the list could go on. Somewhere along the way I lost my motivation for crocheting. Don’t get me wrong, there has been plenty of crafting the past few months, but the burning desire to turn out project after project just was not there. Surely I am not the only one that gets that way, if we are honest it can be about anything in life. So I took time to recharge, not stressing over making or not making anything. That is until this week. As I have said many times, my notebooks are like treasure boxes. At the start of every new year, I start a new one with to-do lists, goals, patterns, etc. I start with a blank page and begin to fill it with crafting dreams and concepts, that most of the time no one else gets to see. This year, that is going to change. I plan on making 2017 the best yet not only for me personally, but for Fruitful Concepts Studio as well. Thanks for sticking with me while I recharged!! Until we talk again, Don’t worry be crafty! ~Jama

Flying Fingers to the Finish Line
Hey ya’ll! It has been a busy few days around here trying to finish up the Openwork Top I started about 2 weeks ago. The first part of the week completed the Southern Diamond Wrap CAL. Needless to say my fingers have been flying! I used to watch people and think, “Boy look at them go!” I never thought my speed would pick up, however with practice there you go, 4 rows before you know it, next time you look 20. With that said, I got the “Openwork Top” done. YAY!!!! The finish line was crossed tonight, so onward to making my demo board for my class tomorrow.
Hope this brings some inspiration to your day! Until we talk again, Don’t worry be crafty! ~ Jama
