Hello beautiful Tuesday (or Wednesday by the time I get this posted)! What's going on? I hope you've been lucky enough to experiencing glorious weather like we've been down here. The lower temps and humidity has sent me in to nesting overdrive mode. I love love love this time of year!!
Make anything interesting lately? Sadly, there hasn't been much making going on here. About a month or so ago I got overwhelmed, with just about everything. The house, the kids, my work, homework, soccer practice, laundry, dishes, the dog - EVERYTHING. I had to take a step back. Of all the things I was doing, the only one that I could let go of was making. So I did. (except for the dottie angel weekend ;-))
Since then, my attention had been focused on the kids, keeping the house picked up, cooking supper, and all things domestic...with a dash of crochet or knitting here and there. Has it made my life any easier? Not really. Yes, I've had one less thing to think about, but I feel a little empty. I miss the making.
Once again I am brought back to my reality that I need to create. There are moments when things seem just about perfect, where I've put all that creative energy into cooking a nice meal for my family or getting all the laundry washed & put away, but it's not the same. I think I'd rather have my house kind of messy with a fun project in progress - that's much more fun, isn't it?
My new focus is trying to swing that balance to the place where the making can happen and the house can stay picked up. Impossible? Maybe, but I'm going to give it a shot. And I'm going to be here more...not just with silly give aways. I promise, I'm not going to turn this into giveaway blog (i actually find those blogs somewhat annoying). Up next, some making!!
