This week I was asked to make a superhero cape for a friend.  I said “yes!” and thought it would be a good Friday Project Spotlight item.

I love superhero capes and all the imagination and dreaming that they encourage!  As I watch my boys in their capes run and climb trees, I see this phrase in their eyes…

“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.”~Jesse Jackson

I love what a simple cape can encourage and build into the young ones that are our future.  They are a reminder to me.  Let them be little, and let them dream.

My cute model was not feeling his “fierceness” during our photo shoot.  I asked for an awesome superhero face and I got this…

I’m not sure if he was blowing out candles or holding his breath :).  I love this boy!

Thank you so much for looking at my Friday Project Spotlight item!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Dancing Zebras has been such a fun little hobby for me.  I love creating things and watching others enjoy them as well.  About three years ago my sister, Olivia, and I dreamed this idea up of doing a business together.  I remember sitting on the beach and staring out at the ocean as we brainstormed names for our company.  There were LOTS of things thrown out and good laughs till we came up with Dancing Zebras.

This endeavor has been so fun.  As stay at home moms, we loved the idea to be able to be home with our kids and still be able to craft (a passion of ours) while getting a little money in the process. We’ve had a few craft shows and private orders that don’t show up on our etsy store, and all of this just fuels us and keeps as dreaming.  Someday, I would LOVE to have a boutique little store.  In my city, Roswell, Georgia, there is a little street called Canton Street.  It has all kinds of cute stores and restaurants.  This part of town is called Historic Roswell.  I think my house is actually considered to be part of this area as well.  It’s all old buildings with exposed brick walls and little sidewalks.  Anyway, I dream of having a cute little shop out in a place like that.  Someday, right!?

It’s really hard to get enough inventory for a craft show with three little kids, let alone the risk in having a real store.  I think there is value in knowing my limitations to my dreams.  I dreamed of being a mom and I am, so I choose to enjoy and soak in this season of my life.  One day I will have all the time in the world to craft and try to start a store and I will miss this season.  It’s a constant conscious process to be fully present in the present.

In about thirteen days, Olivia and I will be back on another beach together.  I’m excited to catch up and brainstorm in an environment that does our souls good!

What are your dreams!?!
