Crafty Pinner: Chunky Fish Net Baby Blanket

Hey Flykids!
Today I bring you a pattern made up by me (kind of..)
I saw this blanket on pinterest but it was a blanket to buy not a pattern so I found a crochet stitch and altered it, THEN I got to work making this blanket. This is probably the fastest blanket I have ever made (and I make alot) This is not as much a blanket to keep the baby warm as much as it is for pictures.

I am using a size K boye hook. It is just a normal yarn - not thick, not especially soft, etc.
I did a chain the width I want the blanket to be. The stitch used is what I call the Semi-V stitch its based on the V -stitch but different (haha..)

How to: Plan Workouts Using Pinterest

Hello!
I am still growing so I am not looking to loose weight by doing this I just want to tone my muscles and keep healthy. To tone muscles and keep healthy it requires some work. Whenever I workout I feel like my workouts get really boring *Light bulb moment* PINTEREST! Hey why not? This is what I do. I have a pinterest board for each week (monday-friday) that I use to pin my workouts to. I will search monday workout, tuesday workout, wednesday workout, etc. Each of my workouts for next week contains 20 minutes of cardio but does not sepcify - so I also searched a cardio workout. Any excercises that I am unsure of how to do properly or do not know how to do (or want some variations) I look up and pin them to the board. This is my board for next weeks workouts:

      I try to make my workouts interesting so some weeks I may have fun things like jumping on the trampoline and making up a routine or something like that. Although other options could be riding my bike back on our road or taking a walk and taking pictures. This way I get to take some GREAT pictures and get in a workout at the same time.

        Also like they say "Exercise in the mornign before your brain figures out what you are doing"
                                                            (Yes I do this haha!)
                                                                 Any questions?

How Long Does it Really Take Series: Making your bed

Hey Flykids!
 am starting a series of videos with the title “How long does it really take?” Often times when we think of certain chores, for example folding a load of wash, we really overestimate the time it takes to do that blessing. In this video series I will complete simple tasks and time myself. The first blessing is making the bed. It took me 2 minutes and 15 seconds. I have a bunkbed and I am on the top – I know how hard it is to make the top bunk. I thought it was hard anyway, until I practiced. Im not talking you practice making your bed for 20 minutes a day. Im just saying that I made a habit of making my bed every day. Also my sheets fall off every.single.night, so every morning I have to put the fitted sheet back on the bed. Even with doing this it only took my 2 minutes and 15 seconds (I figured I probably talked for about 45 seconds and the rest was making the bed… this is an estimate as I talked some in the video and didn’t just start making the bed.)

 

Dont mind my wet hair! I had just taken a shower..
