Monday manifestation series :Manifestation Magic: Creating Your Ideal Life Together

  Welcome to the second series of the Monday Manifest Series! It's wonderful to have you here as we continue our journey of co-creating and manifesting our dreams. In this series, we will dive deeper into the practice of manifestation and explore the power of making manifesting a collective experience. Manifestation is not just an individual endeavor; it becomes even more powerful when we come together as a community, supporting and inspiring one another along the way. By joining forces, we amplify our manifestation energy and create a space where dreams become reality. Today, I invite you to join me in harnessing the power of collective manifestation. Take a moment to reflect on the dreams and desires you have been manifesting in your own life. What are the intentions and goals you are working towards? What visions do you hold in your heart? Now, let's take this journey of manifestation together. In the comments section below, I encourage you to share what you are currently...

Start crocheting.

 Hello everyone! I'm Ariana Evanz, a blogger, crochet designer and a dress maker.



I inherited crochet skills from my paternal grandmother. When people asked me, when did you start crochet, I would say, eight. Often it left their jaw dropped. Some may not even beleive. 

When I was eight, I would come home after school and see my grandma crocheting carpets. I still remember how she make the diy yarn out of left out materials after my aunt finished sewing dresses.

That was the moment I got inspired in crocheting. The finished carpet gave an amazing texture. Neat and tidy! It was really wonderful that nobody would beleive that an old lady could make it so neat. All the carpets she made were gifted among the relatives. 


I accepted happily. 

From the very first time, I did it all correct. Encouragement from my grandfather, grandmother and my aunt and my brothers inspired me so much.

Then onwards it's my paternal aunt who would bring me colourful yarn from the store when ever she goes shopping.

Now Coming back to 2021.

I could crochet anything out of yarn. Name anything? I would do that. 

Most of the time I end up making patterns for something new. A large soft toy or a top or bag! Anything! Many craft stores would reach out for me to make patterns for something new. I enjoy working as a crochet designer. 


How to start crochet.

It's so simple that if a 8 year old little girl can crochet, you also can.


Next what ?

Tuotions? Courses or online classes? NO!

Go to youtube. Their are many basic tutorials which are pretty much easy to learn.

Start learning with :

• How to hold the hook and the yarn
• Make a slip know
• Chain.

Basically, these are the first steps you must know. All three steps would come in the same video. It doesn't take much time to catch up with lesson 1. Lesson 1 is about making the foundation chain.


Given below are some of the basic abbreviations. 

Ch - chain
Sl st - slip stitch
Sc - single crochet
DC - double crochet 
Hdc - half double crochet
Trc - treble crochet.
MR - magic ring 

These are just examples. There are many more abbreviations you must know. 

Anyhow SC would come and 1 lesson, DC would come under another lesson and so on....



If you know these basics, which means you are ready to start big projects.

Start making blankets, hats, bags, tops etc.

Learn how to follow written patterns.

Following written patterns is easy if you know the abbreviations. 


Hope this blog helped you.

Thanks for reading.

LAW OF ATTRACTION : NEW TYPE OF ROMANCE

  Its 2 o clock am. I was scrolling down in a social media platform. I stopped scrolling down further when my eyes caught to a fascinating subject.  "I am attracting a grand - life changing romance. I am attracting a partner who gets me. Someone who gives and receives affection without persuit, and compassionate. On top of that, she sees in me all the great things that I see in myself. We are two complete souls who will bring each other to heights of joy we couldn't even imagine before meeting. We will be happy as two motals can be together. We will work through the downs through in our relationship and revel in highs.

GREAT WAYS TO IMPROVE LIFE AT HOME

 Spending a peaceful life at home is everyone's intention. After all, if you do or don't have peace in your life, you must learn how to improve life quality. It is so unhappy to hear from people about the toxic quality of life they have at home. Many loves to live in peace and follow a good lifestyle, but they claim that they have got a toxic household, big family issues, don't have a personal room etc. Some say that they would improve their lifestyle into a better quality of life if they have a room all alone or get out from the family and goes to live alone, but these thoughts works only fifty per cent. I have witnessed, many of my friends said so. Once they got a room all alone, or they shifted alone, absolutely nothing changed in their lifestyle. Their lifestyle went on and on like • Getting up at 2 am • Eating breakfast • No lunch • Wash • Sitting on the computer for hours/ on mobile • Going to sleep at 3 or 4 o clock am. You don't need everything al...
