One thing about living in a city that is overcast for around 9 months a year is that I've pretty much forgotten what the stars look like. I miss the stripe of the Milky Way, hunting for constellations, and feeling humbled by the magnitude of the heavens. When I was in third grade I briefly entertained the idea of becoming an astronomer, until I realized that it was probably too solitary of an occupation for my liking, not to mention the heavy math. So since I can't have the real stars, I hunted around on Etsy for things that reminded me of them.

It's inspiring looking at the things others have crafted. Perhaps I'll find some additional inspiration while camping this weekend, provided the weather cooperates.
