We are happy to bring you a new no-sew polar fleece Snuggles patterns this month. With the launch of the new site and all the craziness involved in that, we thought it appropriate to bring you the new Basketweave Madness.
This easy to make Snuggle with its crazy pattern and lots of bright colors brings fun and creativity to anyone who makes one, or two, or more. Go ahead, get crazy!
Craziness is not unfamiliar territory in the animal welfare and animal sheltering field. Workers are many times overworked and frustrated with all the day-to-day situations that come up in dealing with lost, abused, and homeless animals. From overcrowding to underfunding. From trying to provide a safe environment to trying to remove an animal from an unsafe environment. From hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow to the reality of today. It's a crazy journey that we can do nothing but continue on.
Craziness
By Jason Westlake, December 12, 2006
Uncertainty lies on the path ahead
Many events I don’t want to deal with
Are sure to question my fearless resolve
My heart I know will be wrenched many times
I may lose my faith and lose my way
Submitting myself to certain torture
Mountains loom ominously in my way
With signs of “death to those who enter”
I gasp for breath just thinking about it
Sweat beads down my face as I look on
How drunk was I to choose such a path?
What madness possessed me to go this way?
Why am I not relaxing on the couch
Sitting safe and sound in my ignorance?
I sure feel like claiming insanity
From purposely subjecting myself to this
But my reason, my ‘why,’ yanks me off the ground
It drags me by the arm and throws me out the door
Purpose makes me feel crazy at times
But it keeps me going when I don’t want to
