Yearning for simpler times...

All I really want to do, I've discovered, is be free to live my life in ways that make me happy. For me, that's making crafts, baking, making art, going on discovery trips with my camera and sketchbook, parking somewhere in my car and listening to music while making to-do lists, making dinner for my hubby, playing with my dog, making gifts for my family... generally, making whatever I want to whenever I want to is the core of what brings me the most joy.

The cold weather especially makes me want to sit at home with a warm cup of cocoa and make adorable stuff like this:

I honestly think I would be happiest as an old-school homemaker. Making aprons, decorating my house, putting together whatever little crafty items my heart desires.

But Sears won't quit calling and I can't put off my student loans forever. Here's hoping the universe answers my prayers for a lottery win. :)

Happy Holidays everyone!
