Personality

Daily writing prompt
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
I love cats. Yes, I am a cat lady. I used to have a cat named Alisa in my youth, and she was my best friend. That’s why I compare myself to cats. Maybe also because I like being alone. I do not need many people around me, only kindred spirits. So, if I have to choose another persona, it is an English cat. Why English? That is another story.

Fate

Daily writing prompt
Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Do I believe in fate? Yes, I do. I understand that many aspects of your life may feel out of control. When we encounter situations like this, it’s important to remember that we don’t have to charge them, and we need to learn to accept them.

Ambitious DIY project

Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.

I am doing the most ambitious DIY project just now. I crochet different flower garlands, and the most popular are daffodils, yellow and white, with colourful trumpets. A new customer from Texas contacted me yesterday with a request to make him 24 standing separate daffodils for his house arrangement. I’ve never crocheted standing flowers with wire in the stem before, but I like challenges. I was so excited about this project that I barely slept. I woke up at 6 a.m. this morning and understood how to tie the stems to the daffodils. Now I only need to complete all my open orders, find the proper wire and start making white and yellow daffodils.
