Sahar and friends here on Krafters-Korner:

Artists are people who have learned how to keep the inner child alive and 
well - no matter what else is going on in our life. If we don't do that, we 
will perish as creative people - and I have seen that happen to many many 
talented people over the years.

I wanted to share a little Haiku I wrote in 2004 with you all, as a 
beginning celebration for the coming of Spring. I have attached it here.

On today's agenda, to begin the other sock - I finished the first one 
yesterday. This is my third pair of socks since I got on the "SOCK BAND 
WAGON" a few weeks ago, with lots of tips from knitters here.
