rewind wednesday:: missing the artsy

i used to make jewelry.  i loved it.  for now, my time & my heart is in my home with these 3 little ones & it sounds cliche, but there really is nothing else i'd rather be doing.  one day i will do the jewelry thing again in the cracks of life... but today is not that day.  today, i took hazel to gymnastics, took the other 2 to the doctor where anders kept turning off the light while lena was getting checked out, i got thrown up on, did about 5 loads of laundry & finally washed the throw up out of my hair then ate dinner around 8:45pm.  so, yeah, today isn't that day but i think i will indeed create again.   the whole process of dreaming up something, figuring out how to piece it together & then really using your hands to make it be is so life-giving to me...reflections of the Real Maker & Creator of all art, of all things beautiful.   

so i'll make a few things again & hope to soon just make myself for something.  thinking about these things, made me look back at a few pics.  so here's a look back at some of my favorite addition pieces.  fun to remember:)
