LABOR DAY?? 

I'm sure my kitty doesn't know or care about Labor Day.  She will probably not miss me over the weekend, either.  I am heading out this week for a knitting retreat!  It is exciting to get away.  I will be happy to hang out with fellow fiber enthusiasts!  =] 
This is my second year attending and I know that there will be lots of fun and new people to meet and some to see again.  I hope to have a few pictures to post, too. 

Mr. will be batching it along with the kitties.  The little fiend above will likely be bugging him at his computer while doing some serious gaming!  She will also be waking him up with a paw in the face very early in the morning.  She will be cuddling with him at night, too.  For all this, and more, I thank my very generous Dear Hubby and for being able to go and enjoy the retreat. 

What has been going on in my crafty world?  Well, not a whole lot.  My knitting has actually come to a screeching halt.  I've not crocheted a lot, either.  I have been organizing for this retreat and then getting my crafty areas cleaned up and sorted.  I realized I have not taken up my quilting or paper crafting at all this year.  Sad.  I really enjoy them and have come to realize I need a bit more balance in my life. 

Balance diet and exercise.
Visiting friends and giving more in the way of service.
De-cluttering in this small house! OY!
Equal Opportunity Crafting! 
Enjoy being out on our porch and just being quiet. 

Yup!  A few changes and a whole lot more enjoyment in many areas than just two or three regular activities.  I hope that you feel inspired to assess and re-arrange, if needed. 
This Summer has gone by way too fast!  I hope to really be able to enjoy the last of it and the Autumn season to come!
