I browse on Etsy and see sets I like and then never pull the trigger.  This week I was browsing around again (when my hands were cold, of course) and realized I could make my own.  I know enough about crocheting that I could muddle through a simple pattern.  Like Annie Oakley, I shot over to the Etsy search and found a pattern for the warmers.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThis is a big step for me.  Not because it will be difficult or challenging, but because I never make anything that&#8217;s not related to RiverDog Prints.  Since I started doing my business full-time, I have stopped being creative in almost all other pursuits.  I haven&#8217;t shown my house any real decorating love in about four years.  I cook all the time, but the creativity lives only in not measuring anything.  I&#8217;m hoping that these little wrist warmers are a pathway into being creative throughout my life as a whole.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<center>:::<\/center><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alamodestuffblog.com\/2010\/04\/organizing-meet-up-om-one-moment-wanna.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft height=\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/rdpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/OM_alamodemeetupbutton11.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"om [one moment] meet up\" width=\"139\" \/><\/a>OM is *one moment* and is a meetup designed to notice &amp; relish a moment in everyday life.
