Fabric of Our Lives

I love the fabric stores here in Tahiti. It is hard to find colors like blush and navy, as I discovered last June when I tried finding fabric for Chance and Jayci's wedding. But you can find any Polynesian floral in any color and design imaginable.  

You can also find eyelet lace in all the bright colors of the rainbow.

Here are some of the dresses that have been made from these fabrics and eyelet.

A typical Tahitian dress.

Living in this tropical environment is very different from living in the USA. The climate does not vary here. It is almost always 80-85 degrees There are no seasons except dry or rainy. There is not a lot of variety in the food either. So the variety comes in other ways...creative ways...such as tropical fabrics and clothing. 

In the Book of Mormon,  Alma 30:44, it says: "...and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator."

I think we were made to be creators like our Father in Heaven. It is in our divine DNA. We will find a way to be creative however we can.

I love the fabrics in Tahiti!

I love you all, my creative family and friends.
