What would you do if today were your last day?

"If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? Whenever the answer has been 'no' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something" -Steve Jobs

I found this quote the other day. It so perfectly described how I was feeling.

This week we made a pretty major decision, I quit my Saturday job. I LOVE my job, but when it came down to it, I LOVE my family more. With busy schedules, we were having less and less family time. I was missing so much...we knew something just had to give.

I'm going to miss my job a lot. I'm going to miss the people and on the days my kids are naughty or puking, I'm going to miss being able to walk out the door, giving my husband a smile that says, "Have fun with that!"

I'm sure I'll miss the extra money, but I won't regret having more laughs, more smiles, more hugs, more kisses, more milestones and more memories. I'll even take more fits.

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!): Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here: Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Chemo Caps - Part 2

The Gia Chemo Cap doesn't have the same sort of story behind it as the Karen Cap , but it was developed with Chemo patients in mind!
