One of the big benefits of having less "stuff" around is that it creates time and space for more creativity. In addition to exploring our new surroundings, the kids and I have been drawing, crafting, and creating new things every day. The above is a needle felted bag I made for my sister's birthday. I have been wanting to try needle felting for a long time and I found it very enjoyable...great way to relieve tension by basically repeatedly piercing the felt with a barbed needle, but not so fun if you pierce your thumb! The other orange creation is Noah's "Beetlebop" shirt. Noah is a champion "Beetlebopper" (that's what we call VW bugs in our family)...he can spy one before any of us do and it has become a big part of our recent car trips. In addition to spying them he has been drawing them a lot lately and wanted me to make a Beetlebop shirt for him. So we collaborated. He drew a "Beetlebop train" on the t-shirt using a fabric fade marker and I embroidered over his drawing.
Your purse is divine! Needle felting is almost as therapuetic as some good pilates. You all look like you are having a great time. You all should think about opening an Etsy shop. ;o)
Hope your dad is recovering well and quickly.
Love the bag!! I am partial to orange. I have the t-shirt idea on my list of things to do.

So fun! Yes, maybe I'll have to try embroidering one of Maia's drawings. I like your idea of putting them on a t-shirt. -Jean
