My husband is an Air Force veteran, so it goes without saying that before he was a child, curse words were often thrown around our house. We also used to play Call of Duty together so that's the same. Since the baby was born, we've been trying to adjust our filters to avoid saying certain words over others; But sometimes it's not easy.
This past April, we took a quick trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend the largest gun show in the world, the Wanenmacher Arms Show. We planned to meet a group of other members of the 2A community and spend the weekend with them. Now this group, especially the ones who travel across the country to visit, are a rowdy bunch. It reminds me of when my husband was on active duty and we had pilot friends over to watch the game or whatever. Crazy, loud and unfiltered.
With that in mind, I needed a plan for the nine-hour trip north. When talking about YouTube with guys and girls, it's always a joke that dropping the F-bomb will immediately get your video taken down. And that's when it hit me; instead of dropping the F-bomb, why not drop the F-bomb!
So F Bomb was born on a long road trip north to hang out with crazy, rude people. I made a note to make more money in the future and suddenly posted what I had on Ravelry. Well, I never would have guessed in a million years that a little pattern I wrote on a whim would become so popular! Thank you very much for your help!
So without further ado, the free template has given me the confidence to write better templates and even start this blog.
