I have a mantra:

Every day, strive to create more than you consume (even just a little).


So I make stuff.*  And I hope you make stuff, too.

furniture

paintings

free magnets, stamps, bookplates, postcards

charts and graphs

random crafts

needlepoint

* It's not always the *best* stuff. Like for example maybe just possibly I built a composting worm farm of my own design under my kitchen sink, and maybe just possibly the worms immediately made a break for it through the air holes and screens I'd made just a tad too large, and maybe just possibly we had a kitchen floor writhing with no less than 1,000 red wiggler worms, and maybe just possibly my husband said, "It was your project. You get to catch the worms."**

** Fair play to you, husband.
