An Honorary Reporter & Member of the K-Influencer Academy for 2021!

 Shortly after my last post, I realized I may have gotten ahead of myself a little bit.  Oops. 

My last post, if you recall, was the very first article I had written and submitted as an Honorary Reporter for Korea.net.  But I completely forgot to mention that I had been accepted as an Honorary Reporter, much less explain any of it.  


So that’s what I’m doing now!


I found out about the Honorary Reporter program earlier in the year through a Facebook group for the K-Friends program I joined last year.  After doing some research into it, I applied for the program back in March, and found out I had been accepted in April. 


Also around the same time, I applied to be part of the 2021 K-Influencer Academy, another program offered by Korea.net, and found out I had been accepted into that as well! 


But what does all of this mean?


The Honorary Reporters, to quote this article from Korea.net: “consist of foreign nationals both in and out of Korea who promote Korean culture, information and events around the world for a year on Korea.net and its social media accounts”.


Essentially, I’ll be writing articles about my experiences with Korean culture, current events, or just general information as it pertains to Korea.  As you already know, I’ve written one article about learning the Korean language, and my second article was about cooking Korean side dishes, or 반찬.  I’m already planning for future articles, as well, so be on the lookout for those!


Now, about the K-Influencer Academy.  It’s similar to the Honorary Reporter program, but it’s designed for YouTube creators.  It is a training program for anyone who loves Korea, and has a YouTube channel. The program offers video editing workshops and tips on growing and marketing a YouTube channel.


I honestly did not expect to be accepted into the Academy, since I have a grand total of three subscribers on my Made By Smree YouTube Channel.  But somehow I was accepted into the general program, which means I’ll be participating in monthly mission video prompts from June through December. 

I've recently completed my very first video, which you can watch below! (And hey, if you want to subscribe for future content from me, I would be absolutely okay with that too.)


So there you have it: How I became both an Honorary Reporter AND part of the K-Influencer Academy for 2021.

Now that we're all up to speed, I hope you all enjoy the content that is yet to come, as well as all the shenanigans that are sure to happen along the way!

    Wow, I am happy to hear it. I am also an Honorary Reporter. Oh yes, my advice is if you want to continue activities as honorary reprisals make sure you don't forget to re-register for honorary reporter 2022.

Bofur Inspired Hat Pattern

 (Check out this handy dandy Pinterest ready graphic I made!) In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, one of the dwarves (Bofur) wore this really, really awesome hat.  I fell in love with it, and decided to see if I could crochet my own version of it.  Well, first I scoured the internet, hoping for a pattern, and when I didn't find one THEN I decided to make my own.  And since I know there are others out there who would love to have this pattern, I'm posting it here! PLEASE NOTE: You may make items and sell them using this pattern, but PLEASE link back to the pattern and credit me as the source.

Spidey Warmers

At long last, here is the pattern for the Spidey Warmers! I ended up not being able to get them to the boys til last week-ish, and I had to get their sister to take photos for me to post here. So thanks Jaimie!! Aren't they adorable? As you can see, I made two sets in different colors for them, but the pattern is for the red with blue trim. To make the others, just swap out the colors. Easy as pie! First off: much thanks and credit to the creativeyarn blog, as I used her free pattern as a basis for mine. Thank you!!!!! This pattern has not been tested, so if you find mistakes please let me know so I may correct them! --> Spidey Warmers F Hook Red Heart Super Saver Begin with Blue Ch 25, join (do not twist chain!)

A Modern Day Martha

  And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things (Luke 10:41 KJV). Sometimes I believe the Lord looks down on me from above, shakes His head, and declares (and I’m paraphrasing here): “Honey, you really need to calm down.” I, like a modern version of the encumbered sister Martha, often find myself worrying over a great many things.  There is little doubt that there is a lot to worry over in day to day life. There are larger scale concerns such as inflation or simply the economy in general, countries at war, and potential for health crises, or the “smaller” things of life like a busted water pipe in your home or unexpected car repair. The list could easily go on and on, but instead of thinking about all the things we have to potentially worry over, I want to share with you something that the Lord showed me recently that made me really stop and rethink my thought processes regarding worry.   One day, while driving...
