Little things

Posted on | January 10, 2007 |

Celebrating little things: potty training (thank you for all the tips!), my first art show (it’s up, and my pieces look beautiful!), finally finding a baby sitter, starting a clay class with DH (the past two weeks have been so hopeful, so tenuously joyous, so tender), and really pretty underwear.

Also this: planning to do a little piece of art every single day for a month. It’s my uberlist this year: starting small, each month, with something that reminds me to be, to breathe, to grow. Care to join me? Come on, even if you’ve never made art in your life. I dare you.

    I’ll join you. I so long to be creative every day. But sometimes daily life takes up so much of my time. To much.

    Love the uber list idea. I might start working on that as well :)

    I’ll join you, also. I actually have decided to start having “art time” every morning with Porter. We have either been coloring, or painting, or like today, playing with clay. He really loves it and it is nice bonding time for us.
    I love your simple but deep idea for the uberlist - mine is so complicated … yours sounds sweet and oh … UNcomplicated. I might have to steal it!
