so my family is full of some pretty amazingly talented women. quilting, sewing, painting (actual art in addition to furniture and such), upholstering, creating, crafting...all of it. really, they can do it ALL....and it's magnificent, wonderful work!! i have lots of wonderful treasures passed down/along from my mother, aunt, grandma, great grandma, great great grandma, and even some of my grandma's sisters and sister-in-laws.
i feel like i have their gifts inside me, practically bursting from me, occasionally seeping from me and then something creative and representative of my family will come out of me. i can't wait for my life to be such that i can actually spend time creating, sewing, painting, quilting, upholstering, etc. i want to do it all. i want to be in the category of talented women in my family. i want family members for generations to come to be excited to have something of mine in their home....however random. i love that about my own home. i feel closer to them. i wonder if they feel that. i wonder if they know that when i think of being a woman, they come to mind...particularly their talents. we all have the same eyes (genetically). and in my own little way i like to categorize that with the same artistic vision. again, i am anxious and excited to be categorized with them.
WELL, the other day my mom and grandma (they were together) called to see what my favorite colors were. i squeaked it out of them that one of my grandma's sisters is working on something for me (my graduation gift!). i am just sooooo excited and anxious thinking of what it might be. she can do a lot of great things, but i also know she is a quilter. hmmmm!!!! i'm totally guessing.
i haven't seen her or any of our Missouri family in years...10 actually. and before that it had been years also. i am excited that she'll be doing something that she'll think of me as she's creating. i wonder what she'll think about. i really want to plan a Missouri trip to visit family. they haven't even ever met my cute boy! and i know my grandma is needing to see her sisters and brothers. i think it's been 10 years for her, too!! perhaps this fall. perhaps one day when those crazy gas prices go down. perhaps if i come up with another perhaps it just might not happen. it's kind of one of those have to's in addition to the great feeling i have of want want want to.
i'll share my treasure when it arrives.
