I've taken two trips south to Maryland in the last two weeks, and spring has definitely arrived there. The forsythia is in bloom beside country roads. In D.C. proper, the tulip trees have shed their furry mouse-ear bud covers and are showing their delicate pink flowers on the Mall.
These recent trips, and the planning surrounding them, have kept me away from crafting and my blog for the last few weeks, and I have missed having this essential outlet for my creativity. However, the trips are a springboard for a major adventure I'll be undertaking with my family soon. We'll be spending a sabbatical year in the Washington, D.C. area, and we have just found a lovely sabbatic home in rural/suburban Maryland where we'll be able to enjoy nature and the cultural opportunities D.C. and Baltimore have to offer.
We'll be sure to explore the newest addition to the Smithsonian: the National Museum of the American Indian.
Now that I have most of the school and house planning out of the way, I'm eager to turn my attention to shaping the contours of my own D.C. adventure. I'm hoping that I can merge three of my passions: writing, crafting, and museum-going into some form of paid employment. I'm open to considering any leads, tips, or contacts, so feel free to comment or contact me directly at editorana@gmail.com if you have any ideas.

i have never been to Washington
Will you have any room for a visitor:)
I would hire you in a flash.
I think Margie should stuff me in her suitcase and bring me along too. Wow, what an opportunity! Oh the memories you'll make. Enjoy every bit of it.
And I've only been to Washington once as a youngster and I don't think we spent much time there - so that suitcase is going to be getting rather crowded.
The writing, crafting, museum going as job - I like that idea very much and you would be perfect!
