moving on 08/29/2011
well it has been awhile, many a whiles I think, today actually feeling like I have aged 15 years. Since I last posted I have separated from my husband and moved to Saltspring Island. What a process that has been, I am now employed at Bruce's kitchen as a prep cook but I am also navigating life as a single mom and artist? What is that? when is it ever gong to be that again? Is it possible? I know there are others doing it but when will I get to that place? So many questions, no one to answer me, except the sound of my own voice, someday........ I know I must be patient and respect the process but when does one find the energy to leave one, the job I love that pay's the rent and feeds the kids to the one I love that I have never fully embraced, that let's me spill my self out on to my panels. I feel like a dabbler that has some talent and some vision but no real direction, who could with a life like mine I say? After an extremely emotional day, with tears and a heart that felt like it was breaking, my youngest daughter took a picture of me, " your face look's kind of blank today " she say's? I reply "it was a hard day and I had some tears" I look at said picture and see that yes indeed grief does make us age, what a sad tired face, I don't want that to be me.......

well life can really throw a strong curve at times and I've just come threw a few. After taking a few months off to do some self care I'm back on track. A few new pieces will be up on this Web site within the next couple of day's and I'm also hopeing to set up an etsy site to sell cards and prints, so I guess I'm looking at this being the actual start of my New Year and I'm really very excited! This blog will also cover what its look likes to be a creative parent and being creative in my work life. blessings Post Title. 11/16/2010
Well I dont know what direction this blog will take but I'm actually parilized by it somewhat so I'm just going to start rambling. I have the Miniature Show coming in 10 days and I have nothing to show for it, why do I always do this, wait until the 11th hour to start? All I know is that if I want to make a career out of this I had betterr push past it quick.. Really the day flashes by so quickly and I find its time to pick the kids up already. I think I have to carve the same time out of my day every day as if I'm going to work starting tomorrow.......... It begins 11/15/2010
This is the day when I finally bit the bullet to start my blog. It has been a long time coming, I have so badly wanted to start a new venture in my life that of Artist /Crafter , that contributes finacially to our house hold. This feels really important to me as my husband shoulders the burden of our finances and I want to spread it out, only I need to have a job that makes me happy. So I'm going to start creating from home and see where it takes me, it begins | AuthorHi I'm an artist and a stay at home mom who is setting out to create beautiful things that will help me to have the job I have always dreamed of. I spend my time living in the city during the week and in the Gulf Islands on the weekend so that my children (and I) can experiance the best of both worlds. I have very strong ideas on how I want to raise my children and I would love them to see how we can create the jobs we love. ArchivesAugust 2011 Categories |
