More Sewing...and other musings.

This is one of the gifts that I have made recently. It has now been shipped and received by my Sister-in-Law Becky. I hope she likes it.

It is such a fun purse and so very easy to whip up. It took me no time at all. I have been really enjoying the process of sewing and creating more recently. It's like there is a new energy in the air.

I am however, trying to devote a lot of my time to organizing our house. When we moved in I just put stuff places just to get it unpacked, but, there never was much of a method. That is what I am trying to change. Plus, I can be a bit of a pack rat...I must clear out some things. There really is something psychological about "stuff." I attach such personal feelings to things like memories and emotions. I have to learn that just because something is gone, it doesn't mean that I am giving up those things. I just don't have the physical object anymore. Clearing out will do a lot to clear out my mind and to increase the happiness of my husband. Organization is on the menu and must be accomplished.
It's also planting season and work is happening in the yard. We went organic this year and put corn meal gluten on the lawn...it's brilliant stuff and the grass looks stunning. Elijah and I are participating in The Great Sunflower Project too...so sunflower planting and observing will be going on too.

These are busy days...but oh so good.

Oh, and go wish Chelle all the best...she had her sweet Jack on May 1st.
