Just in time I read this bit from The Hidden Art of Homemaking (p 48):
First of all, be satisfied with the fact that although your art or talent may never be accepted by the world as anything 'great', and may never be your career, it can be used to enrich your day by day life: enrich it for you, and for the people with whom you live. And secondly, come to a recognition of the fact that it is important for you to be creative in this area to the extent of your talent: important for you as a person who is a creative creature.
AHHH!

I love the bit you quoted from Edith Schaeffer's book! It IS important to "be creative in this area to the extent of your talent."
PS Its interesting to see you write about princess and flower child... my princess was my flower child. She's matured considerably since then but at 25 she's still marching to her own drum!
I think it sometimes comes down to just having things pretty around you. Why should our homes look like jail cells?
