Shift.

I miss creating. Desperately. Since moving, I have not had the chance nor the motivation to make anything. Night after night I stew about all of these projects that float around in my mind, but yet, I don't act on it. This needs to change. Tonight I started working on a new decoupage project, and it's turning out even better than I'd hoped. It may not be art, but it's something that I'm doing with my hands. I think the 365 project is helping to get my creative gears greased, too. Here was today's picture:



I have bedroom and living room curtains and a quilt for my bed to sew. I also need to make myself a new purse, and throw pillows for the sofa, too. These things are tactile and occupy my time. I need this. But more than that, I need to just make art. I need to let my mind rest open, so that anything that cares to spill out is able to do so. Freely. I need to paint. To sculpt. To write. To express myself in new ways. I've been neglecting this side of myself for far too long. Soon you shall see new and exciting things from me. Yes. There is a shift about to take place. I'm looking forward to it.

XO,
