Creation Station

Creativity frequently overcomes our Blythe and she must make something.  Something BIG! Something WILD! Something that gets all over the place and makes a gigantic mess.  Two weeks ago she pulled out much of the contents of the recycling bin and went to work on a stuffed bear house.  She made windows and doors, pieces of furniture and outdoor space.  It was all marvelous and she played with it for a couple of days.  Then it sat on the art table.  Other papers and bits of stuff accumulated around it, and eventually, after days and days of her ignoring it, I insisted that the bear house move back to the recycling bin and go away.  Blythe, naturally, did not agree.  After much arguing (the only way she and I communicate), I took a picture to preserve in perpetual memory and threw it all away.  Unfortunately, now there is a large empty surface begging to be filled again.
