Ughhhhhh I loved this post SO MUCH. You have me feeling so inspired by projects. A "contained," low stakes way to try on a new identity or skill while also opening a door to things we can't possibly predict—all while becoming more of our true selves? SIGN ME UP.
But I also *have* to point out some brilliant chef's kiss craft moments sprinkled throughout:
- "...who could pan beauty from mud in her mind’s eye like flecks of gold from a creek bed."
- "...whose creative energy tends to arrive not in drips and drizzles, but in a downpour"
- "buckets into a bathtub"
- "Ourselves, reflected back to ourselves. The same, but different."
Just beautiful.
And also, I need to hear more about this Dollhouse situation.
You are toooo kind. And yes, all the Dollhouse situation to our list of sleepover talk topics when we inevitably find a way to get together again. 😂 It was QUITE AN ERA.
This really resonates. Since mom died almost three years ago, I’ve finally found the space for projects. I’m doing a roll of film each month this year, and I’m supposed to be teaching myself to crochet. You’ve inspired me to start that one over again :) You’re an amazing writer!
Guh, thank you. 💛💛 A roll of film each month! I'm obsessed and want to hear more about this. Also, can I learn to crochet vicariously through you? I remember my grandma trying to teach me when I was little, and wanting so badly to catch on.
