Lol. That’s about right! I still have not mastered crocheting. Thankfully, my son’s girlfriend knows and gives us lovely gifts.
Some fun with fabrics... Yes, out there, way out.

Fun stuff, but as noted, be careful your new hi-tech scarf could be hacked and strangle you!!!
Here I am, better late than never? (Maybe not!)
I always thought crocheting would be a good skill to have. Never learned it, though.
I bought fabric today! Our granddaughters, 5 and 11 years old, stayed overnight on Saturday. The little one brought PJs, that I had made in 2016 for her older sister. So I KNOW that pattern will fit her right now, and also having some guilt about not sewing much for her.
She has her older sister, then also 2 girl cousins in town here, who are older than she is, so gets LOTS of hand-me-downs. Anyway, I got fabric for at least 2 sets of PJs for her, plus a 4th of July dress with shorts to go under. Actually cut out one of the PJ shirts tonight, and pulled out the pattern for the shorts to go with it.
I am still getting used to being retired and having time to pursue selfish endeavors like this.....
Plus, had some Joann’s gift cards, so it was a FREE shopping trip.
Here’s a pattern for an easy summer hat - you can do it in cotton or rafia & I’m guessing you could whip it up in an hour, maybe two. I like the way you can flip the brim up - hats like this are favorites of mine. There are also links to a beach bag and a beach coverup in the post.
I’m not posting a pic off her website, but here is a link with plenty of pictures and a FREE pattern:
