Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

I’ve been working on many projects the past few weeks. Using polymer clay, I made a dragon’s head (which will be used in another project) and a Pierrot inspired circus doll. In yarn, I crocheted several washcloths, two and a half hats, and a shrug (which I’ll probably never wear.) In fabric, I’ve started the boys’ Halloween costumes. For my home, I’ve built three wood frames to display a textile triptych which will replace my ugly experimental painting that is currently hanging above my fireplace. (I need to get a new blade for my miter saw before I can finish it.)
One more thing I’m working on right now is a type of creative outlet I’ve never really tried. It’s creative writing. I feel a little sheepish admitting that I’m writing for some reason. I feel like I need to say more about this, but I need some time to reflect first.
On an unrelated note, Rob has accepted a job that allows us to stay in Michigan. Huzzah!
Glad to see you are giving writing a try, always thought you would be good at it. Find the time to write a little bit every day, something I need to do myself.
Also glad to see you don’t have to move!

Thank you for the encouragement, though I have less confidence in my writing potential than you do.
Also, I’m hoping you’ll take your own advice starting today. I want to meet more of the people who reside in your brain.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
