A new home

At the end of January, a mere 6 months after moving to Atlanta, I packed up all my stuff (again) and schlepped it across town to a lovely new (rental) home that I'm sharing with two great girls from church, Julie and Kate. Any time someone asks me how the new house is, I say "Fantastic!" because it truly is.

Being creative makes me happy

Something I read once, paraphrased from John Berger, art critic and artist:

Acquiring things is a poor alternative for fashioning objects.

How do I feel after buying something? Momentarily happy, excited about my purchase. But that quickly fades. Creating something, though, gives me immense satisfaction, both in the process of creating and every time I use/look at/wear/share my creation.
