Creative Frustration

Everything in my body is pushing me to do something creative – like getting back into photography or knitting. But for some reason I CANNOT get motivated to JUST DO IT! I have the time, God knows I can substitute the two-three hours I sit on my butt a night in front of the T.V. with working out, or prepping meals for the next day, or knitting…. But I am so lacking motivation. And when I’m not doing something, I get depressed!

My question – if I know myself this well, and I know once I start doing something creative again I will feel so much better, why is it that I am hindering my own personal happiness?

I’m so frustrated!!!!!!

Wouldn't it be Nice?

I got this picture from another Blog, but I pose the same question - Wouldn't it be nice to lose yourself in this garden maze? Especially with a good book and a bottle of wine, or even maybe with a little picnic for two? The beautiful lavender plant would have such a calming scent!!!

Addressing Invitations With Your Own Two Hands

Let me first pre-apologize for my handwriting!!! I'm awful at cursive, and many times make spelling mistakes that I cross out and write "oops!" over. However, I agree that nothing beats a handwritten note - even if your handwriting is awful like mine!

Before my niece was born, a friend and I painted her bedroom like a forest - including trees, flowers, grass, clouds, and a giant flower who's "nector" was a chalkboard. She's always loved drawing on it - and I love this idea for multiple rooms in the house!

I loved the images in this post - mostly because I enjoy having a darker room pop with colors via decor...
