Funky Little Peace Pennant

I love to craft but don’t often actually get around to it.  It took me a couple of years to finally realize what I’d do with a cute, peace sign riddled, jelly roll of quilting fabric that I picked up on a whim.Image

Growing up I really liked the idea of disposable party decorations but my crunchy ways have gotten the best of me and I want to have a few pennants stuffed away to be able to hang at a moments notice so we can always celebrate in style.  A little hemp and some scraps of fabric and there you have it.  A Funky Little Peace Pennant.

The boys ran around with the fabric and tied it around their necks like scarves.  Any time it makes it out of hiding, there’s fun to be had.

I’m learning to overcome that crazy little mind game called Perfection.  These little guys that share my life have helped me to realize that there is joy in the messiness of life.  That ‘flawless’ is likely the thing of consumerism and much was undoubtedly wasted in the process.  My goal is to take action rather than spend time stressing about how long it might take me to actually finish a perfect project.

I’m so thankful that my husband is great at completing projects.  There’s quite a bit to be done yet on our bus and yet we’ve come so far.  He’s such an awesome guy.  When he gets busy doing the things he loves, it inspires me to do the same.  I’ll leave this post with a little peak of where the bus presently stands.  Image

Recycled Curiosity

Woohoo!  I finally did it!  It only took a little more than a year to commit to starting this blog.  I’m here to document our family’s growth, adventures and learning.  Do you happen to notice how your own curiosities or the curiosities of others easily recycle into learning and more curiosity overall?  If you do then you might enjoy following along.
