Virus scare

I just wanted to make a comment on all the pandemic scare and news that is going on out there about this new virus. My son had just come down a couple weeks ago with the influenza b. I’ve kept him home from school. He is doing better but it did hit him hard. Mostly just made him really tired. And he was pretty healthy to start. I did not freak out about it cause that would not have helped. But one reminder is that everything the professionals are telling us to do health wise is the same things they have told you to do for colds and flu. Think about that.

One thing my knitting friends mentioned the other day about the concern of what to do if you are quarantined is for us that do crafts like knitting and crochet, we are set. We just work our crafts and it gives us more time to do that. I am not one to freak out when these things happen but that does not mean that I don’t take precautions either. I have been sanitizing around the house and doing everything else that I need to do for myself to stay healthy as well. Let’s just all remember that all we can do is what we can control. Take care of yourself, drink tons of water and take your vitamins, eat right, and wash your hands regularly. And in my case make more things cause that keeps my stress level down which in turn keeps me fighting anything that comes around. When you are stressed your immune system is taxed which makes you more susceptible to viruses. Let’s all relax and just try to take care of ourselves. Like the song says, don’t worry, be happy.

A beautiful sunset I saw when we were driving home a few days ago. Makes me happy.

New heart shape stitch markers

Hi folks, This post is in celebration of the month of February. Not just cause it has valentines day in it but because I think we need a reminder of positive things and love and spreading that love to all. Also this month my heart is aching for the people and animals in Australia ever since those fires started. The damages are immense. So in my own little way I wanted to help contribute some way as well so for the whole month whatever sales I have I will give 10% of the total to the Australian Red Cross and to WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information,Rescue and Education Service Inc). I have some Valentne heart shape stitch marker sets like the one pictured here and will have a couple more put up today or tomorrow as well. The promotion though goes for all items in the shop. The link is in the blog. Give yourself some love or to someone you care about and help a good cause for those in need in the process. Lets spread love and kindness this month and try to ease some of the tension and stress that everyone is under. At least in the US I know we are.

Love,hope,peace.
