Former First Lady Michelle Obama Is a Knitter!!!

Our former First Lady Michelle Obama is a knitter!!! I saw this post on Instagram and loved to know she, too is a crafter. Check out this article entitled, "Michelle Obama Tells Gayle She Knitted Malia and Sasha Halter Tops" by Monica Chon of Oprah Daily online publication.

Michelle also talked about her knitting achievements on the Rachel Ray Show video.


Isn't this so fascinating? She is not the only famous fiber artist. Our U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris enjoys crocheting. Here is the blog post I wrote about her creative background.  Link HERE

Also, I saw this picture on Instagram of a crocheted mural dedicated to Vice President Harris.  Apparently, several crochet artist helped to complete this mural. This is so awesome!
 

Well, if you thought fiber arts aren't cool, they surely are now! LOL! I loved learning to crochet in 2019 and have compiled some helpful resources here on Inspired Me 411. I hope you check it out and give knitting and/or crocheting a try.

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. Article Link HERE 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!

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
