1920’s Rose Swirl Headband Crochet Pattern

Let’s face it, I’m a bit of a workaholic!
Many nights I’ll easily stay up till 1am, just trying to edit one more photo or reply to that last email…

For example, I had no internet yesterday, and when it finally came on again I had to be extra focused, just so I could finish writing/editing this post. 

I’ll admit, it can be somewhat exhausting but it’s all worth it when I see the finished result! 

There is something so rewarding about sharing something new, and creative with the world.

So it should come as no surprise, that one of my favourite quotes is, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” – Pablo Picasso
