A new Mantra...

You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.

Cinder And now for something completely Different! CRAFTS!  What is that you say?  Crafts on Carol's Crafty Corner? MADNESS! I know.  But I've been knitting up a storm to keep myself sane and my children alive (kidding, mostly) Here are some of my most recent items. My Kyna Shawl Zombie Vixen Fingerless gloves Hell or Highwater Cowl Star Crossed Slouchy Beret Dionne Slouchy Hat Cap'n Crunch I'm super proud of myself.  I've made a couple pairs of socks too.  One for a friend and one for me.  The Cap'n Crunch went to a friend out in BC so I don't actually have a picture of the Finished project.  I'll survive.  It looks awesome on her. I'm making myself another pair of fingerless gloves because the oldest has stolen the zombies.  I knew it would happen.  She kept coming in and taking them from me.  I'm enjoying the process of zoning out and doing nothing with my brain.  I need that dead time.

Day Five and counting....

Well I've done four complete training shifts...and I still love it!!!! I've settled myself into the role as wiper and swiper...lol!!! I also rock the brewed coffee stand like nobody else!

I'm not sure if there is a meaning for that, but George was always my advocate in that relationship so it hurts a little that he's gone, not that I've seen him at all in the past 15 years...
