my piece of dirt

last week i watched a movie and in one scene a grown woman visits her mother, who is digging in her garden. in conversation, she says to her daughter:

"You know why I love it out here?

All I am responsible for is this piece of dirt.

No more saving the world, no more fighting injustices.

Just me and my kids."

and that is really where i am at in life these days. there are many things that still occupy my mind, but i don't let them stay there for long. and it feels right. it feels good.

meanwhile, i am gaining inspiration from many beautiful things. although i don't think David would let me use wallpaper!

i made this useful sewing tool wallet - based on the crayon wallets i made the kids at Christmas.i jsut can't get enough of the French general fabric!
