making stuff!

i've been having a good time lately! more laterr....

ok, it's been later. i think i just wanted to add (very quickly) that one of the greatest things about making things lately has been that i've needed to gather alllll my bizarre little trinkets from around the house. raiding the girls' toys, picking out all the COOL things from the various change dishes or junk drawers --- truly that in and of itself is an art process. what makes the cut, and what doesn't?

it's taken me a long time to come to grips with my 'collecting' of things. i know it's always an adjustment for ryan to deal with, but i think it all boils down to me wanting to still play. little itty bitty toys and pieces, old and colorful all infused with the scent of inspiration --- it is my playground!!
