Creative juices
When those Creative Juices start flowing there is no stopping them. Or rather who would want to? Yesterday was one of those days when a sunny sitting spot, beautiful materials and upcoming celebrations called out for some time out to create. I love my little hearts most because they will go to people I love. It is so hard to create for profit because you do not know who will hold your creations in hand. Eventually duty called but not till I had created 5 little projects for Mother's day.

Filling space
I have always loved containers. Little boxes, baskets of all kinds, bags made of wool, tule or lace are my favorite things to collect. I make them for loved ones or simply to hold little wonders I find. I have them on every available surface and they bring a sense of order to small disorders. Little soaps in the bathroom, rings in the kitchen, keys by the front door, precious jewels on the dresser. They are comforting in some intangible way. I think I'll make more containers this month.

Letting go of the apron strings.
Letting go of the apron strings. 19th birthday and away. We try to connect the best we can. Technology has made for a bizarre interaction across space and time.
The visual image
I realize how much I love the visual image. I hungrily look through old videos, photos, and artifacts kept in old boxes. Y tube holds gems for me now too. My sons have their creative outflows archived there and every so often I take another look to see if I can gain any more understanding into inner lives that will most probably never truly reveal themselves to me. And that is as it should be. Does not make it easier though. I have posted some of those videos on this blog.
What to say?
