We are Women & We Create

So I've been posting quite a bit about crocheting and my scarves and how much fun it is . . . And last night my friend Jenn told me she's learning how to crochet as well!! YAY!! I love sharing something with another person! And she said that I inspired her!! WOW That's so amazing to me! :-) I don't know if I've ever inspired anyone to do anything? But I'm so very very excited for her! She has 2 little ones and I know this is something they will benefit from. Little kids just love it when you make them something! They cherish it.  I think the first time she makes one of her babies a blanket, she will be so proud of herself! And of course I fully expect to see a pic of it at least!
When I first learned how to crochet, I was so excited! I mean, being able to create something is amazing in itself. And as women that is what we do - we create! We create life. We create nourishment for that life - I'm not going to go off on a huge Extended Breastfeeding craze here but when you really stop and think about it, our bodies are made so that we can feed our babies all the way up until they are able to sit at the table and eat regular food, right? There you go! And it's a woman's body that makes that very thing possible! We create!!
And here we are, creating soft, warm blankets and scarves to keep our babies (and other loved ones) warm and cozy! We create warmth! ((big blissful sigh)) I love what women can do! I think we are truly amazing and a wonder to behold! And if crocheting a blanket reminds me of that, I'm happy to relive that feeling every time I pick up my crocheting needle!
So learn how to crochet, or knit, or anything that gives you that feeling as well!
