I am a maker©
Sometimes I think I should be like
those who do one thing. You know like only quilt, only scrapbook or only
exercise or only cook or only----.
Sometimes I think I should be like
those who are minimalists, those whose have only one decorating style or those
who choose to get books from the library as opposed to having a library at
home.
Sometimes it's hard to explain who we
are especially if we are not the same as everybody else. Sometimes it's hard to
understand others or even ourselves.
Sometimes I struggle. Sometimes I am
embarrassed that my studio, as one little girl said " Is this a
store?" I think she was ready to shop.
Sometimes.... but not most of the
time.
Most of the time I remember that we
are not meant to be the same.
Most of the time I remember that we
are all blest with talents, abilities, gifts and personalities.
Most of the time I remember that I
love all things creative
Most of the time I remember that
while my studio looks like a store it is truly a place that the inspiration
(and supplies) are is free and it is open for all to come and create.
Most of the time I remember that I am
a maker.
A maker of an inviting
home.
A maker of meals in a warm kitchen.
A maker of pretty things to inspire, to wear, to have.
A maker of a
joyful life.
Most of the time I remember that I am
a maker and that is how the Lord, the maker of heaven and of earth, made me.
And by the way He made you, too!!
So if sometimes, you're like me and
think about who you are and who you should be.... most of time, you're exactly
as you should be!!! You are perfectly you!!!
Until next time, Make the most of each day!!

I read this when you sent it out last week and wanted to let you know how your words struck home with me. I often feel like I might need an intervention! I have so many craft supplies and interests that I often worry about myself. Thank you for your words of wisdom. I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas. Happy New Year!
