A Christmas of quilts. Before the holidays, I finished a quilt for myself that I had been working on for years. In December I made one for John for xmas, all tartan fabrics. And Anderson received one that I started when I was 16 and first learning to quilt from my Grandmaman. There are still a few more on the go, a small one for a baby girl that I started back in highschool as well. And a nine-patch with pastel prints.

It is usually around this time of year, that I need to put extra effort into trying to be creative. I feel cooped up and that winter has been way too long.

a brief intro.
This blog is about my journey as a mom. The struggles, the joys. My quest to navigate through my new identity, while trying to retain a bit of my old identity. It will contain useful (hopefully) info, photos of my Ander and Maeva, reflections on being a mom, as well as art, creativity, things I find inspiring.
