Prayer Flags

I have just spent the best weekend letting my creative soul take flight.  You know how you have all kinds of ideas and projects that you go out and buy the materials for but never actually get around to doing them? Well, this weekend I did them.  Lots of them.  And I have decided I never want to do anything else but play with my projects and sing and create... no more cleaning, no more working, no more talking to anyone ever again... just painting and drawing and writing, tra la la....

I wish.

Barry and I just let ourselves be completely ridiculous this weekend.  He decided to be Builder Guy while I was being Creation Girl.  There is no logic to building an extra house behind your house.  And certainly not to making a ton of stuff to hang and decorate it with.  But that's exactly what we did.  It's crazy.

He wanted a deck. I wanted a place I could go to meditate that I didn't have to move a bunch of furniture and create the world over and over.  A space dedicated just to one thing. He wanted to sit on our hill and dangle his feet over a deck and contemplate life.

It's humongous.  I thought it would be a tiny crawl around structure.  He didn't feel like cutting the 8 foot lumber... so everything is in eights. Like the eightfold path.  I can't really say anything though cause I was just as excessive.  I couldn't make one set of flags... I made 4.  Whatever.  So we're nuts.  Can't wait to see the finished project!
