So I've been misleading you. I haven't really been reading that much about restarting my Etsy shop. I haven't made many brand new things or even designed them. I stare at my beads and wood and fabric and see nothing...nothing at all.
I've been reading a lot of library books, fiction mostly. Should have a new BIC to put up soon. I've been trying, though to a lesser degree, to sort out how I can pay for college in the fall. I miss school and really want to go back.
I got my license about two months ago. I've been riding my bike around a town more than ever. (should probably buy a helmet) I've been finding projects I've abandoned...and starting new ones instead.
I've been twittering, Flickring, ThisNexting and doing many manner of procrastinating-ish things because...well, I don't know why.
I'm not even sure if I should blog something like this. Probably makes me looks aimless. Guess I am a little. I'm not giving up. That much I know. I'm just a little lost, I think.
I want to be one of those purposed persons. I want to be content where I am because I know where I'm going...at least somewhat. I want to have a plan or a schedule or some list of goals of things to achieve...but I'm not sure what I want to achieve. And so around the monkey's barn I go again.
I hope to find my way back to productivity soon.

One of the pea plants in our garden has flowered. I thought it looked pretty.
oh hon! I get like this as well. (((hugs))) I think it is part of the creative spirit sometimes. Things just need time to marinate and we also like to use our creativity in so many different ways. Focus is good but I think the creative chaos can also be necessary. It will pass and then it will return and then pass etc...
ReplyDeleteI think if you're not feeling creative, then you simply need to take a break. Look at photos of other art forms that inspire you, get some ideas, sketch them out. Hit the design board when ready, and all will flow from there. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now for some loving scolding - buy a helmet BUY A HELMET buyahelmet. I was in an awful car accident at a young age and honestly don't know how I'm still alive, but I am. I just bought a nice new one from REI for only $40 and it fits like a dream and keeps my head cool. Buy a helmet! (Sorry to get all mom on you, but that scares me.)
Have a good weekend! xo.
