Moguls on the Half Pipe

I've been thinking a lot about the mom crafting industry lately. The more research I do on the internet, the more I think it would be best to find my own, personal niche of things I can make that people. On the one hand, I'd like to make practical things. On the other hand, it seems wise to "let go" and make a bunch of random stuff to figure out my style and taste and direction. 

Here is a random project I have been working on with no particular goal in mind. It's a good experiment for pink and certain techniques. I tried out some applique backing. I tried all the crazy stitches on the machine. Pink is a unique color. I love pink but when they got together for the little flower bunch, the greatness of the individual fabrics was faded out. Anyway now it's a huge applique quilty thing with no purpose. Time flew by and I had to go back to chores and kids and the rest of the day.
This afternoon Ellie had a ski lesson.  The preschool class has many moms and one dad.  Some of the moms seem to know each other from elsewhere. There are a couple other little toddlers who come to watch their older preschool siblings take ski class. Everyone bundles up the kids and whoops it up to get them out the door. It's like a moonscape where skiers look like astronauts. 
Ellie has mastered the magic carpet. She has moved over to the next up hill to work on stopping and turning. Today she showed a big boost in confidence since her lesson last week. 
During her lesson, I go ski alone for exercise and fun. After her lesson, we ski together until she's tired out and ready to go home. Went pretty well but I shouldn't have taken her up the ski lift to the bunny slope. We made it down without accident but she needs more practice before facing that slope again. 
I have to admit, the best 10 minutes of my day were spent alone on the ski hill, when I went down on the half pipe. It's like a giant pipe with the top half cut off so to make the shape of a gunnel, covered with tons of snow. You can play with gravity and speed by tipping yourself off the top edge and zooming down the gunnel before shooting up the opposite side. There was a lot of powder shoved every which way at the top but on the half pipe, it was pushed into bumps called moguls. Any way it was fun. Moms need to have fun too. It can't be all Thomas the Train Engine and Hanna Montana.
