Goodbye

Nicky6 Comments

Sorry for the upcoming radio silence on the blog just when I’ve started this 30 Day of Craft series.  I just learned from my mother that my cousin’s husband who had a heart-attack and stroke last week died today at 4:00 am.  She didn’t want to upset me at work so she waited until I got home tonight to let me know.

I’m at a loss for words.  Although death is a part of life, I was so sure he would recover. It certainly seemed like that on Saturday.   This is a lot for me to take in with everyone being 6000 miles away from me.  So many things left unsaid, so much left undone.

So until I get my bearings … be well.  I’ll hopefully see you all in a few days (best case scenario) or a in a week or two (worse case).

Goodbye Russell.  Rest in peace.

30DOC: Day 4 — In the Zone

Nicky2 Comments

Everything else ceases to exist when I’m in the zone.   The stress of the work day drains away and all that matters is what’s  going on in front me.  Be it with yarn, hooks, knitting needles, a wood ring, fabric, embroidery floss and a needle.  Being in the zone allows me to create “my own sunshine”. 

What happens in your zone?

Is it lady like delicacy?  Or …

is it Ninja needles?  😀

Whatever it is, the zone is definitely my happy place.  In the zone:

“Got a fresh new start,

It’s a brand new day,

And I’ve got lots of love to give away,

It don’t matter if it’s raining, nothing can phase me,

I make my own sunshine.”
