Reading your words i imagined a little you doing all these things as a child. I wish i grew up with more nature around me but i was lucky enough to be in girlscouts and have a dad who grew up on an old farm in Iowa who knew a lot about plants and growing stuff so i was able to find the beginigs of my love off nature through him. I am the youngest of 5 and my oldest sister is 17 years older and my middle sister is 10 years older so when you mentioned the age gap causing you to not really getting to know her at that age and going off on your own to play and imagine, i could relate because i did the same most often. I know i am a creative soul but have never let myself feel confident enough to really focus of my creativity. I've recently stated to try and pick up some of my crafts again and a lot of that is inspired by watching you work in your studio. Like you i dabble in many crafts. I love to crochet and I'm making myself a queen size bed spread right now, ive been making birthday cards with watercolors and watercolor paper and i just started playing with polymer clay. I always have so many ideas of things i want to make and do but i need to make the time for myself to actually do them. I wanted to share a few photos here but there isn't a place that i can see for me to upload any photos.

Thank you and Morton for sharing your life and creativity. You are sparking that creative flame in me.
