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.

Crochet a tote bag

Crochet totes became popular among crafters long time ago.

Every beginner crocheter would love to work on a crochet bag. Totes are easy compared with all the other projects. 

How to start a crochet tote as a beginner?

If you know the basics of crochet, it is not a hard game.

There are several methods to follow.

You will need 

  • Measuring tape
  • Tapestry needle
  • Hook 
  • Yarn 
  • Stitch markers
Here is the simplest way I have experienced to crochet a tote.

First thing first is consider what measurement you need. 

  • Make a chain long enough for the size of your preferred width

  • Single crochet in the 2nd row

  • Before starting the 3rd row, join both ends of your worked piece so that now you have a round band. Now you will be working on rounds, not by rows. (Make sure the round is not twisted while joining.

  • Put a Stitch marker at the beginning of the round. Single crochet all around the round(better if you can count to avoid crooked work?

  • Work on Single crochets until you have the preferred height of the base. 

  • Moving from base to the body of the tote.

  • Choose Any texture pattern you prefer or just you may work on half double or double or trebble crochet stitches

  • After finishing the base, work behind the Single crochet stitches(of the base) to start the body.

  • Continue until you have the height.

  • It would be better to do few rounds of Single crochets at the end of the circumference .

  • Measure and crochet the handle.

  • Turn your work into the wrong side

  • Sew the base with help of Tapestry needle. 

  • Sew the angles of the base. 

  • Turn 

  • That's it. The tote is ready.

This method can only be used for square or rectangular bags.

There are several other methods which you can do like circular etc.

Calm is the New Superpower: Embracing Tranquility in a Chaotic World

  Calmness is a superpower that resides within each of us, waiting to be discovered and harnessed. In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, the ability to remain calm becomes an invaluable asset. When we cultivate a sense of inner peace, we tap into a wellspring of strength, clarity, and resilience. Calmness allows us to navigate life's challenges with poise and grace, enabling us to make sound decisions and respond to situations from a place of wisdom rather than impulsiveness. It is a state of being that radiates tranquility and empowers us to find balance amidst the storms of life. Calmness is not a passive state of indifference or detachment, but an active choice to remain centered and grounded in the present moment. It is an acknowledgment that we have the power to choose our response to external circumstances, rather than being at the mercy of them. By cultivating calmness, we become aware of the fluctuations of our thoughts and emotions, and we learn to obse...

FEAR ATTRACTS WHAT WE FEAR: Law of attraction

It is nature's law that to which one gives his attention shall manifest itself. He who fears a thing, by the very concentration of it, attracts itself. Very often we hear such fear-prone expressions as, "I am afraid of this I am afraid of that, I am afraid I am going to fall ill I am afraid I am going to have trouble in my life." Such depressing thoughts are fertile grounds for the nurturing of the fear germ. Fear spectre with all its attendant evil is the greatest delusion ever conjured by the mind of man. Fear is nothing but a bogey of the mind's imagination. No matter how dreadful the face it wears, it collapses at the very sight of courage. Therefore infuse faith into your system, give courage to your conviction, believe in your innate abilities, give no thoughts for the morrow or of events that are to come, but live in the present today as best as you can. Once you are in command of the situation and become master of all its attendant circumstan...
