As a complement/update to my 2026 personal goals from earlier in the year:
1. Learn to crochet
I picked up my set of crochet hooks and a skein of yarn I bought literally a decade ago the last time I tried to do a fiber art. I'd like to complete at least one granny square by the end of August, which seems doable.
My LAPL card gives me access to Craftsy, so I'll be looking there for video tutorials. I may also pick up a book if I find I need one.
2. Get off Facebook entirely
I wiped my cookies trying to fix the missing entries thing from yesterday and now I can't remember the email/pw combo to log back into FB, so at least that's gone from my laptop. I can still get on via my phone, but I'm going to make a conscious effort to not visit it.
3. Learn how to identify nice jewelry in thrift stores
I'd like to start both collecting jewelry and also possibly sell it (on eBay?) as a "side hustle" (bleh), but I only really know to look for makers marks/material marks, and not much else. Figuring out how to find the good stuff seems like a fun activity.
