What if I let go?

Here is a box I've recently finished. ( I think) It stems from a discussion I had with my midwife about the roles of parents and children and the opportunity children have to show their parents the gospel. My pastor was discussing this fairly controversial subject and said as children we know the most intimate details of our parents sin and can either condemn them or offer them grace. It is a challenging position to be in but it is what God calls us to do when he asks us to "honor" them. The interior is comprised mostly of items given to me by my grandmother and adds to the passing down of treasures and trials alike.

This is the end of the crib I've been "refinishing". I got the idea from a set of prints a friend gave me to decorate the baby's room. I thought, "Well why not make my own?" Materials include maps, fabric scraps, ribbon scraps and buttons. (of course)
