Is there a better way to start the day than with bacon? I think not. Especially when it's preceeded by a quick thrift trip, and then two fabulous people for company, and a bit of blogging at breakfast (checking out Lisa Solomon's lovely new shop, by the way). Just perfect.
I've left those two lovely ladies to work away on the printing press (and can't wait to see the result later today), while I'm back in mama zone, doing family art. We've had Ezra's teepee since his birthday almost two months ago (a grandparent gift, from Magic Cabin) and with nearly daily requests from them to paint it, finally today was the perfect day to get at it.
I value our family creating time so much, and usually it is quite idyllic and beautiful...but I sometimes forget that those beautiful idyllic moment of happily creating together can amount to a total of 20 minutes on some days. And then, I'm left with this:
Being bailed on by the kids to finish the job, and a messy cleanup.
No matter. I'll take a page from my own advice and just put it all away and try again for another day. And walk away from it remembering the 10 minutes of happy creative bliss we did share together.
