Staying on Task

How is it when things get so overwhelming to stay on task and be creative and productive?  I am working a crazy schedule and find little free time to get into the studio.  Between being a mother, wife, and employee, i am finding it very difficult to be me.  Creatively, i am drowning.

Beginnings

So the school year offically begins tomorrow and that means I have to start back to "work" on all things creative. YIPPY. What this really means is that I have several hours of "uninterupted creative juices flowing" time to play, because lets me honest. What I do isn't really work, I enjoy it too much. Thanks for stopping by. Ja

A long time gone.

Three years.  Three years and so much has changed.  Three years and so much hasn't changed at all.  I found my voice.  I had forgotten what it sounded like.  I met my children.  I learned what THEIR voices were in all the chaos that surrounded us.  I lost my way for a while.  I stumbled to find my way.  For a while i just stood still.  I didn't move.  I just was.  My creative juices were blocked, clogged, dammed up.  The dam has burst.  Creativity is flowing.  I hear my voice.  I have a pace that i need to set.  One day at a time.  One stitch at a time.  One knot at a time.  One thing at a time.   I have revamped my Etsy stores.  I am starting from scratch so to speak.  I haven't changed what i am doing, just how i am doing it and presenting it to the world.  I am happy, focused, and motivated.  I want all of that to show in my work.  This is my happy plac...

I have windows of opportunity that are opening up, but i feel like there is a lead ball holding me down.  I followed God's instruction and made preparations for this moment, but I am still here, leaning on God, trusting him, but not myself.  I think that i am my own ...
