Waiting for the Quiet

See the little carved deer in the picture, well he is happily sitting on my hall table admiring the pink ruffled prettiness of the peony. He's a lucky deer, and getting to do something I wouldn't mind myself, some quiet, thinking, and relaxing time. I keep wondering when life is going to settle down, at least for a week, but I have a feeling it's just around the corner. Along with fulfilling some crafty ideas. Fingers crossed.....
