These truly ARE the voices in my head.

Full Circle


December is
a time of reflection.

As I look back 20 years...
I see,
not just how much my life has changed,
but also 
how it has circled around.

I remember a little
catalog~
Holly Berry Hill



It was all hand drawn.
Full of dollies that were inspired 
by
yesteryear...
and the patterns~
oh my goodness!
It tugged at my heart
and made my soul smile.

In that tug 
and love
of yesteryear;
 of Thomas Nash
and 
Little Women...
Dickens and Austen~
my head swirled...
and has continued to.

The things that hold 
the art of my heart~
are never 
in front of me,
but always behind.



And so...

Emily 
is 
my soul
answering back
the echo 
of
 Holly Berry Hill.

From her poke bonnet
to
the fabric of her dress.


I am so excited
to explore
and create more...

but first,
there are the holidays to enjoy
and projects that call.



Time with my beloved...
and with our family.

This December
has come
around
full circle
in a way
that I never expected...
but reminds me
to keep
the past
in my present.
