Summer Hours

The Anna Twist Workshop is mostly a world of crochet.  It could be other things, but my hands and brain seem most willing to crochet, so that's what it is.   One other Workshop skill I'm working on, though, is carving.  Before you get excited (or scared for my fingers), it's a pun, so hang in there with me.  Carving out time, is what I'm saying.

I'm a registered nurse, but I'm not working at it right now.  Right now, and for the past 4 years, I have stayed home to manage our house and family, and to some extent, our extended family, sometimes against their will.  Can I get an 'amen'?  This has involved an ebb and flow of lots of different things.  Seasons, we Jesus freaks tend to call them.  But throughout this season of not being a nurse, I've found that I want to learn and do and be EVERYTHING.  I thought at first it was a new renaissance for myself. Then I realized, no.  No, it's just a terrible time of unfocused busy-ness. 

So.  Focus.  Of all of the seasons I've walked through, nursing and Anna Twist have settled best in me.  Some day, I'll return to nursing.  Anna Twist is blooming now, and I want to tend to it, so I'm working on setting aside other things so that I can do that.  

Of course, right as some of these "distractions" are coming to their natural end, Summer is upon us.  The Miniwiets will be home all day, and the Workshop hours will be reduced to afternoons, when it gets hot, and I finally let them just collapse into the couch and play on screens.  That's when I'll be working on your orders.  And when distraction threatens (and threatens...and threatens...), someone refocus me.  With force, if necessary.

Not exactly topical, but I never get tired of watching Dinklage smack Joffrey.

Enjoy this lovely weather, Twisted Friends!  Thanks for reading.
