I’ve been working on a little project for the past 2 weeks.

As I stood in the fabric store a few days ago, for over 2 hours, debating what fabric to buy, I thought to my self,

“Gosh, I have no idea what I am doing!  Why am I even doing this?  I’m not a seamstress, I am not even a quilter.  It’s going to have so many flaws and ….”

I stumbled across this video and it left me in tears.  (Let’s be honest, almost anything can make me cry!)

It left me feeling so hopeful, so happy.

“We each have an inherent wish, to create something that did not exist before…”

To create new life, a wonderful loaf of bread,  a hand written note to a friend, new games for our children, a new piece of music, memories….

EVERYONE CAN CREATE!

And although my project is far from perfect, it will keep us warm on the couch during these long winters in Vermont.

My husband adores it and I’ve enjoyed learning a new skill and creating something I can pass on to my children:

“Mom’s first quilt!”

What’s your latest creation?

“And remember that you’re a spirit daughter [son] of the most creative Being in the Universe!!!

This post is per request of our lovely parents, who live thousands of miles away. With this, we hope to satisfy their request and perhaps stir up some interest in purchasing tickets to come see us out here in Vermont. My gut tells me that it’s gonna take a baby to get anyone to cough up the money to pay for a flight out here! (And that’s ok…I would do the same…maybe)

Dining (we have no storage…so the road bike shares our dining space. That’s been working out just fine between the three of us.)

Mom, there is that fabulous star I found at the Maxx for five bucks!

Love Nest: Rick has ripped two of his shirts on those knobs on the dresser and popped a few buttons. There is literally 8 inches between the foot board and the dresser. (I told him I would start sleeping on that side. Apparently, once you pick a side of the bed, it’s that side FOR LIFE!!!) There is little extra room for anything “extra” in this room. But we love it. (Sort of..right Rick?)

We are currently accepting hand crafted art work for the empty frame above my lamp. No, seriously.

Did I seriously hang that ghetto garland above our bed? Seeing it in these pictures, it looks like crap. Eww, that’s coming down!
