no title

my 45 second commute, and yes i drive, takes me past a new subdivision. tonight, in the comfortable darkness, i saw houses becoming homes. the lit up rooms filled with sawhorses, 2 x 4's, chop saws and, extensions cords made me smile. that happiness warmed me up.

there are 2 things that i love to do. build houses and create cakes. they are similiar. you take your pile of ingredients, a basic plan, ideas to figure stuff out and then you create.

give me a cement mixer, a kitchen aid mixer, hammer, oven, flour, insulation, cocoa, hurricane ties and bucket of nails and i'm a happy girl. i long to create and do. it makes me feel alive.

I use different ingredients - paper, pens, synthetic hair, needles, thread, glue, paint, black clefs on white pages, and more - but creating brings me to life, as well.
