The reason it was easy is because Mikey shows you step by step how to makes the booties along with every project he ever dose. The photo to the left is the first ever baby booty high tops that I ever made I did so following along with mike's video. I he helped me make these booties I was hooked I when to his YouTube site to look at all his videos I could not get enough of them that is where I meet Diva Dan who I like as well he has tough me that I can do anything with back yard and cooking. Mike and Diva Dan have shown all of us it's okay to let our creative side out it's great to be different no matter what others have to say. You can find Their videos at www.youtube.com/mikeyssmail.com . Mikeyssmail was actually born on April 2008 it was just meant as user name Mike never though it would be as big as it is now or for the name to stick but faith and density had other plan in store for him and Diva Dan and the user name. Mikeyssmail was started with just 10 crochet videos Mikey took notice that people where really checking them out and wanted more and the rest my friends is history. Mikey and Diva Dan even have there own web page it's http://www.mikeyssmail.com/ feel free to check it out this site is where he has some written patterns but please respect the copy right laws I ask. They even have live broad cast at least once week or so if you need laugh they will give you few as well. As I mentioned in other post eath day Diva Dan and Mike teach you be earth friendly that these project that we make can be handed down from person to person generation to generation as well. You can also find Mike and Diva Dan on Face book as well too. I will include some photos of projects that I have made along with Mike and Diva Dan and some that I have not but he gave me the push to give them try they may not be right because its the first time I tyred it didn't use the right yarn because I just wanted to give it try. This photo here is my first loom knit project I did viva YouTube with Mike and Diva Dan. My Nana soon took this scarf soon as it was done. In fact this past winter my Nana had so many people asking where she got her scarf at, she told me I didn't buy it my granddaughter made it! The seem amazed that I could make something so nice let along fabulous! I had one lady tell me that it's great that I'm learn how to loom knit it will save me money and you will get people asking you to make them things. Who would have though my first Loom Knit project would have come out so great and look as good as it dose along with getting people loving it! This is my first ever Baby booty sneakers that I learned to crochet with Mike and Diva Dan I got so many people saying how cute they were in fact they were part of baby shower gift and the person who got them for her baby loves em. I have had some people ask me to me them some as well.
This is the Diva Delight Hat I learn to make from Mike with twist I used eye lash yarn and used to yarns at once and went into the back loops if I member right. I have had people asking where I bough it and dose it keep you warn the answer was yes it keeps me warm and I made it. It even washed great when I had to wash it it shrank little that is okay I made it little big. This is one of my ecofriendly totes that I have made they come in great for shopping and places grocers into them even for the beach they wash great. Mike didn't teach me how to make this I got the pattern online. Diva Dan and Mike are truly my two fav men going they make you laugh talk about any and everything show you it's great to be different, how to let the artist in you come out to explore everything in life even to share your project with other and make friends. I do hope some day to meet them or even for us fans to have meet up with them. I would not mind even having an interview blog/ youtube video with them someday.

Dreams

It happened again last night I had another one of those dreams about dead people or rather seeing dead people and bodies, I again was trying to solve it in my sleep but it didn't feel like I was sleeping this time either. It's so creepy I can remember it like it happened few minutes ago. I get this call to meet someone I know because they need my help the are detective in police dept not sure what state or dep I show up at this crime scene meet him I don't fully see the face but I know the voice some how he said to me Nicole I need you help you are the only one that help me with case or lack of it. I agree to help we are walking in field or rather open space where train tracks go along I walk with him over to this body she is no more then in her late 30's early 40's medium lenght brown hair curly from using curling iron she had sun dress on who ever did this to her stabbed her but so no one would hear her scream the knocked her out she has head wound. I look at the body tell my friend this then I just start to walk away closer towards the tracks he yells for me to stop he says this guy or woman could be out their or train could get me I told him you stopped all train traffic for this case and "He"is long gone. My friend asks me how do you know it's he and not she? Because if it was she, she would not have killed her like that she would not have stabbed her like she was some animal and left her like that a she would have been more careful. I told my Friend this "He" this is not his first rodeo "He" killed before. I left my friend standing their walked well crossed the tracks to the other side kept walking for about few years and found dirt that looked like it was moved or covered something up for while I put gloves on and just started to remove and in shallow grave I found another body or what was left of one it was all bones, my friend walked down about foot or two finds another grave this time it's decomposing woman gutted like fish he tells me to come right away it's pretty blond woman late teens early 20's cut up almost like for an autopsy I knee down and with my flash light look in side and I find that she is stuffed with something, I didn't pull it out to see so that we can get photos of all this. I walk away my friends says you know something what is it I told him I'm sure this is his dumping ground and it's he who's on break we need to get him. I walk back over to the body to see if I can pull the object out and when I go to I wake up.

I know this sounds freaky it is trust me I don't know what this mean if it's just bad dream or what but this is not the first time that I have had dreams like this before. This is not my first dream like this I have manay but the first time I'm writing it or rather typing it down and blogging aobut it I think I might just be cracking up or somethng. What do you think?

eath day

Well it's that time of year again YAY! I'm looking forward to this time of year again it's the celebration of Earth Day! It's something that I have looked forward to since I moved here don't get me wrong I'm not tree hugger or anything like that but I do care about our earth along with the rest of man kind I feel that we as humans do have lot to learn about the earth and what we can do to make this a better place to live for all of us! Over the past year I have started to become more Eco friendly one of the many things I'm doing is crocheting more I'm also learning how to loom knit as well and how to make different thing from Website called Mikeyssmail.con and you can find him on You Tube as well. The two the run the site are Mike & Diva Dan they are great even give you few good laughs along the way, they show you how to crochet different items, cook different recipes,etc. One of the many quotes from Mike I like is " you are the yarn artist" another words feel free to explore he show videos of how to make many many wonderful items and you can take it form their explore alter them to your liking their is no right or wrong way to make something. Diva Dan has helped me explore my decor side as well with redoing rooms in my house. I'm starting to get off the subject of why these two guys have anything to do with earth day, getting back on point!!! I was looking to become more Eco friendly to do more then just recycle and make baby blankets and learn how to make baby booties I was on YouTube type in high top baby booties that is how I found these two great guys that I have come to know!!!!! They showed me how to make those booties which will be able to be reused on doll or another child and same with the blankets I make, Mike and Diva Dan got me thinking what else can I do well I picked up my crochet Book found out how to make reuse able tote bags for grocery shopping, tough me it's good to go to yard sales to find items that are useful along with antiques stores which have vintage items that I can reuse,shop at the dollar stores as well you will find great buys there for your creative side! I learned how to make Diva Delight hate which I altered little bit that I have used all winter long it kept my head warm washed great as well plus it cost me nothing to make it because I had yarn in my yarn stash. Mike and Diva Dan show you that it's okay to embrace everything that's different it's great to help the earth out. Another thing I'm learning from them is how to make jewelry from their website as well if you check their site out your possibles are endless and open your mind to everything! I do hope to be able to visit Mike and Diva Dan sometime! When it comes to earth day these two men come into my mind they are great men to know and have in your life,remember it's okay to reuse yarn even if it's from project that ripped,to keep yarn stash from projects that are left over from other projects,don't be so quick to throw out old plant boxes or buckets they can be reused fro something. also grow your own veggies herbs, and food if you can it will save on your grocery bill and gas bill plus you will feel good. You can also find Mikey and Diva Dan live on live webcast where you can talk to them and the rest of us followers/Fans

I'm going to beat depression & weight loss

As most of you know I have satated in another blog that since my WLS I suffered from depression and have not blogged nor done nothing at all really. I have been seeing therpist which has helped great deal with my depression anxiety and ocd issues. I'm am super said to say I have gained 8 lbs in month that is not good and I know it's all from the depression and not eatting right and too much. Starting today I'm stopping this I started the South Beach diet back up to help regain control of my eatting disorder well that is what I call it any how. The past few months have been hell on me and this past weekend along with today have been hell on me all my Nnana has done is bitch and nagg at me about what I eat my weight etc etc which has start to set me back in depression mode. Yes I have pills that I'm taking for me depression but them alone will not help it, I have told my dad that I'm depressed he told me not to let my Nana get to me but it's not that easy at time I'm sure everyone can relate to that one. In stead of falling into slump I thought I would get back to blogging about everyrthing again it seems that expressing my thought fears and everything else seems to help me it's like an outlet or something. I have come to realize that I let my weight become security blanket all my life which is not good I let it cover everything up so I would not have to deal with it I use to eat or blame the fatness well it's time that I no longer do this and venture into the unknown and deal with everything I want to be an after I want to lose the weight love life like I was doing few months after my wls operation. I also have come to realize I have few close friends that I talk with and I preffer to be around people that have had wls or have been thorough the process with us. I will keep blogging to help me and because it's something that I love to do.
