hello again

Changes. slowly...

So, I don't know if it's even noticable yet, but I am slowly making changes around the blog front. trying out a few new things & getting it sharped up some. More to come tomorrow.

& working on a project I have even been taking step by step photos of it while in the process.

Mixed media has come along & bitten me in the butt.

I love when a new long idea pops into my head.

stayed tuned.

Back to it.

Just got home from this:

been away at the beach all week. A bit on the cold side in San Diego. But we still hit the beach. & let me just say:

Dax loves the beach. It was great. I even got to read a magazine. now that is paradise for a mom.

We had a great time...& look at this classic photo I got. It's perfect for an ipod ad. I even took it with my iphone. (I'm such a dork)

He was jammin'.

Good times.

Good to be back home too. It's a new week. A fresh start. I like that.

I know for sure that on my to-do list for tomorrow is:
Laundry
Grocery store
Email check
& making art.

What I do & why?

I have been thinking a bit about why I create, make & do the things I do everyday in my studio.

mainly because I am addicted to this room.
It is my safe place.
My comfort.
My music playing.
My little boy running around me or wanting up so he can hammer too.
It's my everyday routine to be in here as much as possible.
Sometimes it's clean & at other times it's a complete disaster.
but this is me & this is the space I choose to spend most of my time.

What I create:
depends on mood.
or Etsy orders.
or if Dax will let me actually get something done.
or if the computer isn't calling my name...ha ha or distracting me.
jewelry.
paper arts.
mixed media.
home decor.
toys & other things for Dax.
or anything else that comes to mind...

The fact is I love to create. I love to make ART. I love to do things for other people & see how they react to what I make. It's a good feeling. Warm & fuzzy inside. & that is what makes creating worth while.
