inspired

First off, this little guy was running around our backyard this morning and I love grey squirrels, so the kids and I were watching him. He started to come closer to the house and hopped onto the top and the fence and started looking around. Then he spotted us in the window, and he froze- for almost a minute, staring. Of course, by the time I got my camera he wasn't looking anymore, but at least he was still there.
Secondly, I just discovered soulemama. I love her. lol. I bought her book from Amazon on Sunday night and I got it yesterday. I haven't had much of a chance to read it yet, but it looks soooo good.

She sews, embroiders, knits- all stuff I tried as a kid and never really got into too much. But I want to now (not knitting as much as the other two). She homeschools her kids and they are very focused on creativity. The kids artwork is turned into pillows (embroidered), wall hangings, quilts, greeting cards, gifts, etc. I just love the whole idea of having so much time focused on being creative. I haven't desired to do anything creative for months, and now I want to try so many things. Check her out!
Happy Wednesday! My mom, grandma and nephew are coming over for a fun day!
