Growing up, I loved watching a Sunday afternoon program out of Chicago called "Family Classics." They played a huge variety of movies. Every once in a while they'd pull out the 1960 film Swiss Family Robinson and I was enthralled.
I was never concerned about the practical realities of being shipwrecked or whatnot. I was in love with the tree house. What kid would not love to live there?????
Not too long ago I stumbled across a program on HGTV where they were walking around the home of an artist residing in Canada. The house has come to be known as "The Mushroom House." It was up for sale (I am not sure if it still is) and a house tour can be seen here.
The house is amazing. I appreciate non-traditional homes and homes where owners have exerted their artistic visions upon the structure itself. However, the most stunning piece of this stellar home resides over the fireplace in the Rumford Room. It is a giant carved statue of a dragon called "Ashley."
Go embrace your own creative side! Make your cards. Paint a few terracotta pots as gifts. Take a log from the woodpile and some branches and create a reindeer. Knit a scarf. Begin a quilt. Spend quality family time.
