Finding the time, Clearing the Space

May 3, 2016

I struggle with finding the time, and the space, to make the things that are in my head and aching to get out. I know it's because I am a procrastinator and so there are all kinds of other things that pile up, undone but needing to be done; bills to pay, incredible clutter to clear out, emails to answer, telephone calls to return, doctor appointments to make, cupboards to clean, laundry to do, and on and on and on. All of these things somehow manage to get placed ahead of the making. Can't abandon myself to the studio until I've gotten other things done. And, trust me, some of the other things have gotten completely out of hand and actually do really need to be tackled. Even if I could go be in the studio, there is so much mess to clean up and clear out before I can have the space to make anything. If you only knew. 

Not looking for sympathy. Not looking for a pep talk. However, actual, helpful advice would be welcome!

What brings me joy - My daughter, her husband, and, OMG, my granddaughter - and they live a mere twelve minute drive away. I’m lucky. And thankful.

* It’s a Flag! By Doug! *
 
We both like making flags, each in our own way. I’m loving this latest one from Doug. It’s an awesome little flag - only 10" wide x 5.5" high, made of tiny pieces of card stock which Doug coats
