within the grip of winter, we've been in tune with our creative selves. a few days a week, we have dedicated afternoons to coffee and crafting. a little project here and there to occupy time, to fill the void of the outdoors that we miss so much, and to help us seek joy with the rush that creating invites.
intrigued by the meditative qualities that surround origami, stella and i have been giving paper cranes a go, with her more watching with wide eyes more than anything. with persistence and patience, i made five cranes one afternoon. they were very poorly constructed and no doubt left much room for improvement, but lovely nonetheless. i made a mobile that same evening, using twine and few twigs from which they now hang. birds on a sting, the new focal point of their nursery. flowing gently side to side whenever the door opens or shuts.

Wow! This is great.
