*Early* Crochet Everyday.. It can be done!

For whatever reason in the last blog I promised the blog post by Dec 1. While in my mind I was typing Jan 1. It's called a brain fart lol. My bad ladies and gents. To fix my error I will be posting the OOTD featuring a crochet I item starting today. Since it is freezing in NY and we are officially a few days into our second "real" snowstorm( we have had five but three don't count because of skimpy snow amounts),this one is dropping gobs of snow. In an attempt to stay warm and keep money(instead of paying a crazy high heat bill). I wear these leg warmers around the house. I slid my calf boots over them when I go out, they add a good amount of warmth for outside. They wear well with any legging,jegging or skinny jeans. They are easy to make and can be made to fit(longer or shorter). If you wear these with combat boots you might want to use a thinner yarn for a more sleek look. You could also just make the top portion of the leg warmer( the wider part of the calf) as a boot cuff or just make the bottom as an ankle warmer with timbs or combat boots. This may all sound hard but it's not just practice making the leg warmer before you start working with the versatility of this pattern.

Trying something new

I'm Leona (Leona Crafts)a wife, mom,college student and fashionista! (in my mind). I am 35 and finally at a point in my life where I like me.Gasp dare I say it and mean it ?!?!?!?!YES YES YES.. I like me and it took me35 years to get here. I lost literally more than half a person I went from 320+ pounds in 2003 to 165 pounds today. This has caused a major explosion of new ideas  for me as far as clothes because I have so many options now. Which brought on a need for new makeup, hair, and even teeth( still a work in progress cavities STINK literally)

 Lately I've been addicted to a few YouTube channels that teach you how to do makeup via tutorials ,which ones are good or bad and tips and tricks to not look so made up,

It's Judy Time and It's Judy's Life she has and adorable family and she does makeup tutorials and reviews on products.. She hates being called a guru but she is..
