I told Kathryn I would do this, & then I got sidetracked & didn’t until now. (I know, you’re all shocked.) As I am posting this there is only 58hrs to get in on the Indiegogo funding action!
You might remember Kathryn from her book (I won) Crochet Saved My Life. BTW, I am reading the book & loving it, but it keeps making me cry so it’s slow going.
Here’s a little about the project from Kathryn’s website, Crochet Concupiscence:
Do you have a desire to explore your creativity but also a fear of calling yourself an “artist”? Do you wish you were more creatively fulfilled but fail to take time for yourself to just create? Are there emotional issues blocking your creative side? Crochet can help! This simple and easy-to-learn craft can be used in unique ways to get in touch with your inner artist, explore and eradicate your deepest creative fears and restore balance to your personal life.
Please consider helping me out with my just-launched crowdsourced funding campaign for my next book project, which includes multimedia components like online classes and personalized email coaching
(Big Announcement: My Next Book on Crochet for Improving Your Quality of Life!)
She has several tiers of donor rewards, starting at just $1, so please take a look & consider helping out at her Indiegogo funding drive. Even over goals, every little bit helps to make the finished product even better!

Last month I blogged about a contest by Crochet Concupiscence giving away copies of her new book Crochet Saved My Life. Guess what? I won! (A shocker if you read the title, I know.)
My new book!
The inside cover where she signed it & included a nice note.
I haven’t gotten to read it yet, but I will be sure to let you know all about it when I do!

Okay, trying to get back in the swing of things, & what better way to kick it off than with a crochet giveaway? Crochet Concupiscense is giving away five copies of her new book “Crochet Saved My Life: The Mental & Physical Health Benefits of Crochet“.
Giveaway: 5 Copies of Crochet Saved My Life Up For Grabs — Crochet Concupiscence
When I saw this post come across my Pinterest I knew I had to check it out. For me, crochet has been a source of comfort when I needed it most. I got into crochet when I was working a very stressful, draining job. It was a great way to relax at the end of the day. A few hours every evening I was able to focus on the turns & twists of the hook, making one smooth stitch after another, watching a scarf or hat or purse grow from a pile of string to something recognizable in my hands.

Being a night owl, I have a loose definition of “today”, so l’m claiming now as still being Monday. That’s my story & I’m sticking to it.
So, here is Monday’s new item! Origami necktie necklaces made from old math & literature text books. I also have a beautifully illustrated children’s book about otters.
