Hmmmm....maybe someone is trying to tell me something??
I've been listening to my Yoga of Work CDs this week and then doing some pondering and ruminating. I'm sure I'll elaborate more once I've considered it.
I've had some crafty time:
A Turquoise Fairy
Not a planned thing, just something that I woke up needing to do. I've become more aware of the pleasure I get when I am creating. It's a kind of meditation process, I lose myself in the moment, before I know it 4 hours have passed by, I am freezing cold and starving, but I am content.
It wasn't long before she got a friend
I made time for tea with a friend this week.
Little bit of people watching
Sometimes you need to make space in your life for tea, putting the world to rights and making plans.
I also seem to have made a "new friend". Those of you who know me well, know about my bird phobia....my screaming, running, flailing arms and legs phobia of birds. So, to find that this little fella appears to have taken a liking to my bedroom window has displeased me. It's like I'm being stalked!!!
"I'm watching you"
He spends his waking hours tapping on the window....not so good at 6am!!
Treated myself to a little Indian Head massage in my lunch break. A bit decadent, but actually just what I needed. I'm stating to focus on what my body is telling me. Thank you to Karen at Little Green Shootand Luciana at Infinite Choice
I've finally added the Charm Bracelet toFolksy, I've been a little bit lax in that department recently, but there are a few ideas bubbling up.
I think I'm going to do a bit more Craftism. The last piece I did really focused me and I got a great sense of achievement out of it. Keep a look out for a mini protest banner coming to a place near you soon!!
it would seem that life isn't about creating art right now,
it's more about creating a good life.
Sometimes, the world has a way of reminding you that some people are shady and actually not very nice, but that's ok.
It's a reminder to choose more carefully the people you let into your circle and for you to be more aware of the energy vampires that surround us (FYI, they don't sparkle!!).
On the happier side of life.....
I've been hula hooping more, I'm not very good, but it's fun and that is all that matters!!
I'm hoping to be as good as this one day!!
I also had an amazing Crystal/Reiki session from Luciana at Infinite Choice.
It's all about the self care at the moment, nurturing the mind, soul and body.
That is what these last few weeks have been about..... Not much arting or crafting going on, lots of reading and thinking instead. Somehow, my 9-5 work took over my "real life" and I lost myself in slobbing on the sofa and crappy TV (instead of doing the real work) But with the start of Spring (hilarious I know with the weather we've been having), I feel I may have turned a corner, trying to stay focused on the small things and see the beauty in the everyday.....
Last week my timetable was screwed..... no "Crafty Wednesday" for me!! But this week it's all systems go again.....
Yesterday was Drawing Class...I struggled with a pepper....I wonder how many times I've been asked to draw a pepper??? I feel that I am more of a line, less of a tone sort of person
Then I moved onto colour. Now flowers have always been a favourite of mine, so this was less of a chore
And today on "Crafty Wednesday" I have been mainly felting.....
