When are you 'content'?

Luckily, I woke up in a writing mood today. Unfortunately, that 10-15 pager due on Tuesday didn't seem all that appealing. But I do think I have an idea for a college essay, so that's productive enough I think. I really despise these essay questions the way I don't care for those trick questions they ask you during job interviews. I never know what they want to hear and I don't like the questions that seem to be asking for your life's pity-party story, or the ones that want a 600 word brag about how awesome you are.  But I went to sleep thinking about quilts and I woke up thinking about how much I like to do and make things, so here's the question and my brain-storm/first draft.

Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you? 250-650 words.
