Week 3 begins...Meet Richie.

Happy Sunday Ami!
It's Amigurumi week...and I chose Amigurumi of all crochet projects because I haven't made one in a while.
And I want to try making one in a week!
Normally, it takes me two weeks to make something like that, depending on my schedule tho.
If you're wondering what Amigurumi is, let me give you my definition.
Amigurumi is toy making with crochet.
That's my definition tho.
I think the name was coined from two Japanese words....not sure.
Well, you can google it to find out more.
Here's the last one I made: a bear

Meet Richie.
I made him early this year with the intention of....
Why did I make him?
Don't remember now...but I just made him and it took me up to three weeks. I wasn't so serious with it then...I would just crochet when I felt like it.
Anyways, few months ago I gave him out as a gift to a little girl in my area. Funny thing is, she bears my English name (Divine).
One thing I know is that toys make children happy and whenever I make one of these, I always have a kid in mind.

I guess that's why I made Richie in the first place....to give him away...eventually.
Well, Ami...I want to make another toy this week....maybe a bunny.
Richie is a bear....basically you can make any animal with amigurumi....that's if you know the basic crochet stitches.
All you need is a pattern and crochet materials (pin, scissors, stitch marker, needle).
Then you make all the body parts and stitch them together.
Hopefully this week goes well.
Wishing you well, Ami.
See you soon ✌
PS: did I forget to add that you also need yarn?....silly me 😄

Overwhelmed

Hey Ami....what's up? Hope it's all going well at your side. If it's not, just remember that things will get better.......and it pays to be grateful that things are not worse than they currently are. Well, my day went great...figured out how my work time would go. Explored my former accounts today and started to make some changes. Especially to my IG account. I also started to feel slightly overwhelmed at the thought of how I would manage my presence on these platforms. The people who do it are no different....it all just comes down to planning and systems. I'm gonna explore that as well. And also realized that the Threads platform is quite different from IG. Anyways, I think I would have to plan out how I'm going to show up on my platforms. Although...the goal is my email list...still need a plan. As for this challenge, I got what I really needed out of it.... learning about routines as a way to simplify habits. That's all for now.....typing was not part of my ...

System Update

A simple system update  That was the only thing it took to make my day, Ami. The day started with me trying to type out content...but the keyboard wasn't responding like I wanted it to. And I didn't want it to make me upset so I just adjusted to it...but then I started to think of how it was going to be if I needed to type a response to a message online....(that's me thinking ahead) "Well, till that time comes", was my final thought. I browsed the settings to see how I could remedy the situation (it was really getting to me 😬) Couldn't really figure out anything so I just left it and charged my phone. Then, evening came and I needed to work on a design...the device was still acting up  I snapped, Ami. I went straight to the settings and got to the system update which needed data connection. Started it and stared as the update downloaded...and got installed. "OPTIMIZING YOUR DEVICE...THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE" , was the next thing I saw. Then I just ke...

I Just Did Something Crazy

 Yep! I had no idea I was going to do this. It wasn't in my to-do list. The idea just popped into my head and I thought, 'why don't I give it a try?' What I did? I started this post. The thing is, I think a lot and remember little afterwards. Who am I? Let's just say I'm a twenty year old Nigerian and I'm just thinking out loud. If you're reading this, you probably have a lot of thoughts running through your head as well. The same happens to me. This is my very first post and I want to warn you. WARNING! THIS IS NOT A USUAL BLOG! I started this as a crazy idea and I want to keep it that way. UNUSUAL So, if you like to read about experts and gaming and fiction and life, this is probably not for you. Why I say this? Because the coming posts may be about all of none of the topics you read about. They may be grammatically correct but purely nonsensical. They may be short or long or in rant form. I may not even post regularly. One thing I will assure you is t...
