When I enter a contest, I usually go for the win. I'm competitive by nature, which is why it's important to note that this is probably the first time that I'm entering a contest for the sheer joy I'm having creating a bonnet.


Is it wrong that I want to quit my job and make bonnets for ponies for the rest of my days?
I wish I had all my good craft supplies, but it's almost more fun not having them and just working with what I've been able to scrounge up last minute.
Sadly, my creative side is often squashed by my body which needs a ridiculous amount of exercise. My physical activities take up so much time I neglect that important part of me that has a wicked imagination and a playful spirit. I like to see this side of myself. Go, go, go, girl can take a backseat for a couple days and let Ms. Daisy take the wheel!
This is a wonderful distraction considering how difficult the next few weeks will be for me. I'm super grateful to have something nice to focus on that isn't just working 60 hour weeks to keep my mind occupied.
