I posted recently about Hannah’s Art of Home. The first bit of homework in the book is to create what she calls a “dream book”, a book in which you write all your thoughts about your home and your life. You collage this book with things you love or things that just make you feel happy, and then you cover it with packing tape to protect it. The collaging went well (even if I maybe overdid it just a touch), the taping, not so much. But I decided that my taping mishaps would work like a “humility square” on an Amish quilt, keeping me from the sin of pride in my craftsmanship. Or something. I think I needed a reminder that nothing is perfect, but imperfect things and people still have value.

Anyway, my Dream Book:

I can definitely see some recurring elements and colours, especially on the front. By the time I got to the back of the book I was getting a little loopy I think. The crab is clearly about to eat a bowl of shredded wheat.
