I love making things, stuff, all kind. I love threading video footage together. I love sewing. I love baking. I love collecting (but try not to for the sake of my marriage). I love the endless possibilities my eyes & my hands offer when they team up. Having a baby is just another (really good) excuse to create more. No, a baby in your life does not leave you with much alone-time to seat behind your sewing machine, but it does teach you efficiency...Did I even knew the word before I became a mom? I thought I was being efficient, well no. I knew I wasn't the most efficient girl in the world. I'm a daydreamer kinda girl. I am. And I have to admit that I love it....daydreaming. But I am learning. My son is teaching me. I am learning to bake with a baby standing by me, high up on a stool, sticking his fingers in the melted chocolate if not in the butter (don't forget the boy has French blood running through his veins). I have learned to start my day around 6am on a Sunday. I am not saying I love it but I do it and most of the time I'll even smile about it. When you become a parent you supposedly loose about 40 days of sleep/year. 40 DAYS!!! Talk about being sleep deprived. But I like to think about how much awake-time I have gained! And instead of complaining about it, I want to try to make the best out of it. I want to have fun. More & more fun. I want to laugh everyday and I want my son to grow up loving loud laughs.
AND I would love to create a giraffe's head for him one day.
Do It.
