Confessions of A Working Girl

Because tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, at Girlscouts we had a little Valentine’s Day party. I knew that the girls were going to be making Valentine’s Day cards, so I decided that I wanted to as well.

I crocheted little flowers for them. Since I didn’t really pay attention to time, I had to crochet about 7 of them last night. (It took at least 3/4 of the 1st Disc of the third season of the Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle)

Today at the party, one of the girls had to leave early, so I gave her the little crocheted flower. She looked at it, then ran at me in a hug! I was surprised–she’s usually one of the quieter, not-as-showy kids. But that, and a comment from one of the other girls when I gave her her crocheted flower later (”I’m going to put this on my Christmas tree every year.”) made me think that the time I spent crocheting those little flowers was definitely not time lost.

It was time well spent. And if something as small as a crocheted flower can make someone happy, then, well…I think everyone should learn how to crochet flowers.
