Inside the Chaos of My Mind

Lara, this post is for you. You wanted to see my sewing or "project" room, and so, here it is. It is full of ideas and imaginings and it is utter chaos, as you can see above!

This room reflects the creative side of me that never seems to have the energy to express itself anymore. My spirit is numbed and benumbed by ITBS, ELPA, MEAP, and Consolidated Grant. I never wanted to be a numbers person for this very reason. Somehow instead of feeding my energy this type of work depletes my energy and when I get home I just collapse exhausted in my chair and escape into a book. One lovely thing about art is that there are no rules, if someone says you can't do that, you just say "why not", or "yes I can" with no worries about the MDE police cracking down on you!

These little glimmerings of creativeness refuse to die, and so they live on in obscurity in my Project Room. They poke and prod at me wanting and waiting to be expressed in some way. They get birthed, so to speak, and then wait in silence to be given life. Now my room is so full of glimmerings that it is daunting to go in there and work on something. (I have other rooms that could house some of my projects, but I'm a little afraid I will take up every empty room in the house!). Enjoy the tour, but don't judge me on my messiness!

Addendum: It occurs to me that perhaps cleaning my project room should have been on my "Six Impossible Things" list!
