V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

  "The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius.

I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think.

If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE  

Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

    I read about that too - so great! I knit and crochet. I am so happy to hear that she crochets - not sure why but hearing that over knitting just makes me happy...maybe because you read/hear more about knitting so I am glad to see crochet get the approval of the VP! I would love to see some of the afghans she made.

      Yes, I would love to see some of her afghans, too. She just got more "cool" points from me knowing she is a crafter! LOL! Thanks for visiting!

First YouTube Anniversary

While the pandemic was devastating there were some good moments that happened in 2020. For years, I had dreamed of creating YouTube crafting tutorials and last year in the mist of the stressful times, I got started. My channel is called K. Simone Designs and I would love for you to visit and subscribe if you haven't. Join the inspiration party!  June of 2020, I posted my first tutorial called, "Mini Album Card." Did you see it? I was so excited to share my favorite mini album card with the world. I had been making them for years and this video got a great reception. Video Link HERE Since then, I have continued to learn and grow in my videos. I am so proud of my progress and determination to stick with it in spite of the highs and lows. I hope you all have enjoyed the variety of content I have produced. My goal was to inspire you and based on the comments, I think I met that objective. Yay! :) Let's look at some of my YouTube stats as of today. Subscribers: 217 Paper
