What's in a Name?

I haven't touched my blog in over a year.  I decided this weekend that I wanted to update it.  But when I logged in to post I felt so unmotivated.  I then realized that the name "CrochetMaggie" was so limiting.  How could I post under that name when I really needed a name that was open to "homeschooling 5 kids, gardening, crafting, loving, laughing, wishing, dreaming, and all other sorts of craziness."  I looked around my house, I looked around outside.  I thought of a hundred different names, all of which either didn't fit or were already taken.

Then I looked out of our back door and saw it.  "Inside the Fig Tree", the hidden little opening into the huge fig tree in our backyard.  Once you are in that little opening, under the canopy of the fig tree, you can't help but to feel like you're in some magical world.  A tiny little forest world secluded from everything else.  I love that little spot.  :)  The fig tree is really the focal point of the yard as it is just so big.  We built our patio right in front of it so that we could admire it as we relax.  So, there you have it.  That's where the name comes from.  I hope to be better at updating, now that I have a spiffy new name and all.  :)
