New Year…Continued Quest

Its hard for me to accept how much time passes between the moments I actually do what I want. Sure I choose what to do but I feel that some things just have to be done while other things continually sit at the bottom of the list.

I am trying to make a point of doing something for myself as often as possible. I am reading more frequently now. I still crochet regularly which started before the holidays (I succeeded in making 7 scarves before the Christmas deadline). I just downloaded GIMP and am making plans to delve into more digital forms of artistic expression again. I want to draw and paint again.

Realistically speaking, with work sucking my stamina and time out of most days of the week, I won’t achieve all that I want to unless I sacrifice something. It’s logical. Right? The problem lies here. Do I let the house fall into further disorganized chaos? Do I let more dirty dishes pile up in the sink? Do I deprive my pets of playtime and interaction?

I suppose I will continue to jump at the fleeting moments I find to crochet one more row or read one more page… its all I have right now. I refuse to let go of these because of what happened in my past. I lose myself when I neglect my creative side. I know this and learned a great deal from the experience.

I keep hoping that some opportunity will present itself that will open up more time in my life for me. Until then, forgive my less than regularly posts.

Be well.

A Crafty Dream…

I dreamt about a breast cancer awareness ribbon made out of my newly purchased pink yarn. I dreamt it Thursday morning and whipped one up. I’m wearing it today. Picture to follow. Here is a picture of me at work wearing my own pin!

Ramblings

A big ol’ pile of ramblings for your perusal…

muted

i worked a very late night or early morning… not sure how the distinction is made
…. and I’ve been muted.

My name in lights… sorta

Have you ever had your name in lights? or in printed press reality?

I am proud to join the ranks… my name is in print.

A picture is priceless…

My sister was married on the 29th day of September 2007.

I took well over 100 pictures and posted just over 100 … aren’t you the least bit curious?

One week…

It will be the one week anniversary of my dismissal…

My creative fart of the day…

I’ve been debating on my new business card design for work… probably procrastinating if I want to be truthful.

 Today I took the plunge…
