Eons ago I promised an update on my market bag. Well it is finished and in use (I keep all my yarn in it). However a post will have to wait since I want to write about something much bigger in my life.<br />
<br />
My boyfriend and I, who have been together for 7,5 years now, are finally moving in together!<br />
My heart is singing I'm so happy! "Why the long wait?" you might wonder. Well, although I have been working for roughly 6 years now, my boyfriend was still in university completing his Masters in Applied Mathematics. This was a long journey. At last in September of 2014 he graduated. I am so proud of him for reaching this milestone in his life.<br />

Thinking this would happen relatively fast was a mistake on our part because we soon came to realize that the job market was (to put it mildly) less than desirable.<br />
It has been more than a year now and a few months back things started to turn around. More companies expressed interest and as a result he got more invitations to go on interviews. Two weeks ago a company put their faith in him and offered him a trainee position. This is amazing, I know! But wait there is more. Another company, which he had reached out to right after his graduation, also contacted him and told him about an opening he might find interesting. This company had been one of his first choices and right now he is on a second interview with them to talk about job specifics. So it might just turn out that he gets to choose which company he likes better. Amazing!<br />
But regardless of which one he will choose (if there will even be a choice), we are moving out as soon as possible. We just don't know where to at the moment.<br />
<br />
My mind is about to explode with joy and pride and anxiety! I am 28 now and this move has been a long time coming, but now that it's here I feel like I am so unprepared. I know I can do this (being a full blown adult) but my gut and my mom are making me question every thought I have about what I think my new life will be like. This is why I want to blog about this. Just to get these things in writing and also to share my ideas and experiences on this journey.<br />
<br />
More to come...<br />

I scoured the internet for blogs and pins related to crochet and learning all the basics. I found tricks on how to hold a hook properly, how to finish up projects and how to read crochet patterns. When I find something that captures my heart and mind, I am like a dog with a bone and do not let go!<br />
My stitches have been more evenly lately and the tension of my yarn is becoming less and less of a problem. When I crochet I completely relax and the rhythmic motion of the single crochet almost feels like the sea rocking me to sleep. This progress has made me look for projects that are a little bit bigger in size.

My latest project is a market bag with a solid bottom, a net-like body and a long strap:<br />

<br />
This is the bottom finished. Now I am going to change a little from the instructions of the original and use the same type of yarn as the bottom, in a different color for the net part. I bought this yarn together in a pack at the Lidl (supermarket) and it was sold with a 4.5 crochet hook and a pattern to make a summer beanie. The beanie was not my taste at all, so I decided to use the yarn and the hook for this project instead.<br />
This concludes this blogpost so far. I will make and update as soon as the bag is done with lots more pictures!<br />
<br />
Do you have a hobby or a project you're working on? I would love to hear from you in the comments.<br />

Before this year I have, besides a meager attempt in kindergarten, never learned how to crochet in fear of it being too hard. Knitting, no problem! Embroidery, bring it on! But that crochet hook always stayed in the drawer. I was sure it would get caught on the loop too many times, that and other problems which I would conjure up in my mind.<br />
Well not this year, not 2015! With all the excitement that new years resolutions bring, I started on a trial patch with a few stitches that I needed to know in order to make a beanie (I know, this sounds too much for a novice but let me continue). The beanie never saw the light of day, but the trial patch did help me in learning the first basic stitches and so started me on my path of learning crochet.<br />

I started out by making a headband with the help of this YouTube video:<br />

<br />
After that I got excited even more and started 'spewing out' as many small projects as my hands and free time would allow. They were the form of Christmas ornaments, a normal granny square and a flower granny square. I even started a beekeepers quilt with a crochet pattern (more on that in a later post):<br />

I think everyone puts those at position one and two so it would be no fun to count those this time.<br />
With essentials/must haves, I am talking about the things that I personally carry with me everywhere I go. These may vary from your top 5, so feel free to share these with me in the comments and who know's, maybe I find some new products that will become a staple in my bag as well.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My trusty nail file</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
This nail file I found in a random drugstore many many years ago. As you can see it is foldable and the tip of the black part has been made round and blunt if you will, to prevent the pointy end of the nail file to do any damage to your purse or pockets. I know there are plenty of nail files with rounded ends but I personally NEED one with a pointy end for the odd reason that I don't like it when there is moisture under my fingernails after I have washed my hands (weird, I know). I use the pointy end to remove the moisture and it works perfectly for that. If any of you feel the same way, please tell me in the comments so I will feel less like a fool for doing this. The pointy end is also useful for removing dirt from underneath your fingernails of course. Lastly, what would a girl do without a nail file when her nails get's chipped. To conclude this little friend has saved me many times over.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Korres Lip Butter in Jasmin</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Next up is the best lip balm/butter I have ever tried so far. This Korres Lip Butter is so creamy, soft, hydrating and long lasting. The first night I put it on before bedtime, I woke up the following morning to find it was still hydrating my lips! So naturally it landed in my purse to live there until the end of it's days. <br />
If I have a no-makeup-day and I need a quick pick-me-up to feel pretty in unexpected circumstances I always grab this product. It doesn't just make my lips look and feel lump and soft but also provides a light peachy color to my lips and a subtle sheen as well which transforms my face more that any mascara can.<br />

This "brush" serves two purposes, and yes they are the obvious one. Never was taking a hairbrush on the go as easy as when they invented these little foldable things. I use it daily if not for the brush, than for applying my Lip Butter with the handy mirror it comes with. The times when I appreciate this brush the most is when I have and early morning at work and I have not even looked in the mirror before I left my home (yes, I do that). When I arrive at work (I have made sure to get there fifteen minutes early), I take my mascara, kohl pencil and concealer and do my whole makeup in this little mirror. When I do this I am not trying to look glamorous or my very best version of myself. I just want to look awake and not scare my customers. Any extras like lipstick or blush can still be applied after 10am when I feel more like myself.<br />

The main issue with any cream for me is that it doesn't absorb quick enough. My boyfriend is the same way so I assume there are others who have this problem too. Well cry no longer over greasy feeling hands (or dry crusty hands because you refuse to moisturise them, even if it is January and -5 C outside) this hand cream is AWH-some. It moistures instantly, it absorbs instantly, it strengthens my nails so much over time. I am in love (there, I said it!). At work I handle many many cardboard boxes and if you didn't know already, they dry your hands out so badly, so this hand cream stays in my bag at all time, this way I always bring it to work with me to save me from dry hands at the end of the day.<br />

Lastly I carry this concealer with me for "dark circle disasters" and "pimple panics" on the go. Again this product is mostly used in the early mornings when I arrive at work looking like Wednesday from the Addams family. But there where other times when this little jar saved me, like when a surprise pimple looked at me from the dressing room mirror at a department store. This concealer is not the best I've tried when it comes to full cover concealers (NYX full coverage in a jar, takes the cake every time). It feels a little bit drying to the touch but worked into the skin with the warmth of your fingers gives a pretty decent result.<br />
<br />
These are the top 5 products in my purse. By the way for people wondering, my purse is by Mexx in black but I could not for the life of me find the model name. This is the link to the same bag <a href="http://www.zalando.nl/mexx-handtas-zwart-me451a05c-q00.html">http://www.zalando.nl/mexx-handtas-zwart-me451a05c-q00.html</a> on the bottom of that page you can find the links to other countries if you do not live in the Netherlands.<br />
Thank you for reading and I would love to read your purse essentials in the comments.<br />
