Break Continues..

I posted yesterday about taking me-time and relaxing instead of "working" (I say it that way because I love my work and it doesn't feel like work!) Now I have to say, I'm taking more me-time but not of my own choice. I have back troubles that come and go, and they came back again last night. So, I slept most of the day thanks to my muscle relaxers. Now I'm resting on the couch and will stay here until things feel better. No crocheting for work, maybe I will snuggle up with a good book! God bless you all.

Break time!

Sometimes we all need a break from our work. I woke up today and decided to play hookie from my "job" and have some me-time! My job is something I love, and am passionate about, crocheting and knitting items to sell in my online shop. I truly enjoy doing it. I have fun coming up with color combinations for my hats & scarves. I like to come up with new patterns. I love to do the actual crocheting & knitting! Even with all of that, I still need to take a break from the shop once in awhile. Without me-time, I lose myself in my work. I need to take time to do things for myself, to pamper myself and focus on me. Even in those times, I still crochet & knit most of the time, just for myself or my family instead of my shop. Right now, I'm working on a knit scarf for myself using a beautiful, silky bamboo yarn in sky blue. I hope to finish it today so I can wear it tonight to church. Don't forget to take some me-time in your life! It refreshes the body and soul!
