Pillows all the way down

There are so many ways to do things that just the choices could stop a creative person, or one looking for a reason not to do something, from even starting.

I have an unusual niche in my living room that has been calling me to be creative for some time now.

Today I bit the bullet and filled it in. I've been at it for about five hours, moving, rearranging, shopping and sawing!

In the process I met a very helpful man at Lowe's who taught me things about saws I had never known before and gave me some helpful advice for how to prepare the shelf before I cut it.

I put things in places and they fell down, but I just picked them back up.

I made tons of mistakes, but each one just led me to another idea and in the end I am very happy with that niche.

No matter what happens when I try these things there always seems to be something to catch me and make it work, or make it right, or soften the blow in some way.

Sort of like pillows all the way down.
