Hey! So, welcome to our second week of Thrifted Thursdays. Let's get started.Awhile back I bought a Strawberry Shortcake sewing pattern for a sun suit. (It cost $0.25 and came from the basement of someone selling off boxes her aunts old patterns. What a find!)Then a few weeks later I saw over on Kojo Designs a series on coloring your summer. For some reason that series got me to thinking about the summers of my childhood. All those memories were filled with warmth, and sunsets, and the smell of ... View the Post

In honor of Father's Day this week...and because there is always an unequal amount of girl projects that are going on around here, Liz and I decided to spend a few days (we'll see how many) next week focusing on our boys.

Much creative drive is certainly internally driven, but there is such benefit to creating beyond ourselves, beyond our family, and beyond our homes, for our community and the world around us.
