I would say everyone is an artist; we are all
creating our lives, our breakfasts, our
relationships, our homes. We are all g iving
our gifts to this world.
We look at ourselves through history’s
lenses, through the eyes of our great great
grandchildren, and I ask myself regularly,
“How can I be most present and alive and
engaged and modern and responsible?”

One of my first attempts at sustainable livingwas learning how to make (and use!) clothdiapers and wipes. I was tired of being so
dependent on disposable things and diaperswere a MAJOR dependency for us! I found clothdiapers on the Internet, but they were terribly
expensive. I found some cheaper ones thatwere handmade, but that was a joke. Come tofind out she used shower curtains to line the
diapers and none of them were sewn correctly.
So I found some patterns, learned what fabricsto use and went to work. I LOVED using thediapers I made. Soft and clean fabrics for my
babies each time. Diaper rashes were no more!I tried to convert a few of my friends, they
thought I was nuts! They still think I am a bitnuts for some of the things I do, but I don’t
mind, it’s just who I am.

I grew up living with my dad and, while we
weren't poor by any means, we didn't seem
to have a ton of extra money available
either. My dad also is extremely gifted at
being able to fix almost anything and
always wanted me to know how to do things
myself. That way of thinking always made
me think about how my actions cause
reactions.

In psychology we are primarily interested in
understanding human behavior, what makes
people “tick”. In order to do this well, we have
to be excellent observers. I spend a lot of time
listening and looking at the people and the
things around me and many different ideas for
designs, colors and projects end up in my
precious notebook!
