After spending a wonderful Easter weekend with my family and friends it was time to decompress and get back to business. I mulled over and over and over the chart on the right. My health is progressing and I am healing, but much slower than I want too. I want to jump right into my purpose and passion. I can't do it now it would be like jumping in with two left feet. The foundation is weak, I don't want to build a new empire on a weak foundation. So, I have to focus on healing and building a new sound structure for living.
After being in my head for a few days I picked up the knitting needles and crochet hook and continued creating new fabric. The funny thing is I am a yarn junkie. Only handspun, hand dyed artisan(very expensive) yarn works for me. I love, love, love it!! My family NEVER wants me to knit or crochet anything for them. They say the yarn smells, is too scratchy and too colorful. So, this year I bought some craft store yarn (as I held my nose) that my daughters liked and made them berets, cowls and gloves this year. They loved the cheap non-verigated yarn. My sister came and loved them too. What?
Now, this cold winter I changed the colors in my room. Very bright, vibrant and almost neon. I bought cheap neon craft store yarn (only because I love neon). Then decided to make two traditional afghans with these very contemporary colors. They would knit/crochet up fast on large needles. The yarn is washable (since the dog lays on my bed) and was a perfect match with my bedspread and curtains. Over Easter my eldest daughter, my sister and my son (wow) put in a request for these neon colors. I was floored! How could they! I have shelves brimming with gourmet designer yarns (and I do mean brimming) and they want $3.25(on sale) craft acrylic yarn.
I was stunned to say the least.
But, as I always told my kids while they were in school and they questioned their teachers, 'give the people what they want'!
