a yearning

after having it on my list of things "to do" for over a year now...shame, shame, callie... i finally am pulling out my miscellaneous scraps to put together a simple chore chart for the girls. in doing so, hannah felt inspired and was begging me to let her sew something, anything.



this piece of green burlap, a blunt needle, and embroidery thread have entertained her for the past 2 days!

randomly, throughout each day, hannah would stop whatever she was doing and shout, "oh! my project! i better get back to work on my project!" and then she'd scurry back to her project. and get back to "work".

what greater joy than to see one of my own little creations creating something of her own and finding so much confidence and fulfillment in it?!

"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul."

Two things, Frist, I just read what happened to your daughter! I am so sorry! That must have been such a nightmare, but it is also such a blessing that she is okay. I saw her at Stake conference and had no idea anything had happened, she looks great and is so cute!

Second, your wardrobe is AMAZING! I too saw the same thing at anthropologie and I took about 10 pictures of the inside so I could have my husband make it for me. I LOVED IT! REALLY DEPRESSING that you did it yourself, I am so not gifted in that area, but you have inspired me to MAYBE try :)

Just found your blog, hope you don't mind me peaking.
