This is for you Beki.

You know how you come across a blog and the craft room is cleaned. The fabric all folded, the room filled with color, the book and paper tucked away. You look at it and say I want to play in there. They share how wonderful it looks before the creative clutter takes over once more..well I sort of want that too, before I share the room as a whole. Clutter can sometimes be a beautiful thing, and right now it’s not bad, it’s just with unfinished walls, a Hodge podge of furniture that need a little fixer upper applied to them.  The room sort of wants to wait until it’s all dressed before it steps out from behind the door. Till then, here are a few pictures of corners in my craft room.

You know how you have days that are not so great. Thinking it doesn’t seem to be getting any better as the hours tick by. Just waiting for the sun to set and try for a better tomorrow. And then something brightens you up, gives you inspiration, playfulness fills you again and it seems that today will be OK and tomorrow even better… Yesterday was one of those.

Company in the craft room to filled the hole that sadness had left. I was impatience about the unfinished walls. They just needed something, painted yes but till then a little something. I hung up some of my clipboards, along with vintage children record covers and old board games..Now, where did I put the rest of my stash to fill up the void spots??? It put a smile on my face to see it slowly come together. Then a little painting… representing my impatience to fly away to the destination I have in mind. Impatience was IF topic of the week, it all seemed to fit. Then these large face paintings we did that had everyone giddy with inspiration, eager to do more. Fun and Carefree. You really should try it. Think big! The stress of the day seeped from our fingers as the paint glided onto the paper. I will put that into my mental catalog of needed quick pick me ups, when the kids or myself are a little blue.
