I drew in my art journal again tonight. I didn’t know where it was heading but it got there in the end.

rain and rainbows

The handwritten text says things like “the clouds of responsibility bring the water for life” - with the words on the edges of the clouds being: work, life, read, relax, magazines, photos, craft, art, sewing, blogging, draw, write, think, work, children, husband, home. I guess that about covers it!

The rain is falling from the clouds and yet the puppy is still playing happily. More scribbled text says “why are there so many songs about rainbows?” and “the lovers… the dreamers, and me”

Also “the rain brings relief - washes away the grime of the every day” and “gone are the dark clouds… it’s gonna be a bright sunshiney day”. [click to view it bigger]

I used to make things

I used to make things. I used to photograph things that I had made and blog about them. Now? I have good intentions and bad self-discipline. I am working nearly full time now and life is a lot fuller, pushing out time for crafting and making and photographing and blogging. I still write blog posts in my head sometimes, not nearly as often as I used to. I don’t read my bloglines nearly as often as I used to and I don’t read magazines nearly as often as I used to. I have good intentions with a TV-and-blankie-on-the-couch habit.

I will get back to it. It’s me. It’s what I do and what I think of me as doing. It’s who I think I am. It’s who you think I am. It is me, and that me will come out to play again. I have the best jam-packed studio with fabric and patterns and art materials by the bucketload. I have a huge stack of magazines on my bedside table and lots of crafty podcasts loaded onto my player.

I have a dusty old blog and a head full of good intentions. I have this blog post. There will be more.

stockings and shoes

Lying on the couch, clicking away, taking random and fast photos of my little girl Emma as she danced around me. Taking the photos into the computer and playing with colours and styles and moods and fonts. Loving the results.
