Do you feel the same way? I think I've shared my term for this before, but just in case, I refer to my need to create as my creative imperative. When I'm not working on something - needlework, knitting, sewing - I feel that there's something missing. I really can't wait to get back to it.
I'm feeling a bit like that right now. I haven't been able to work on my birds for nearly a week, and today is spoken for as well. I'm heading out soon to run a few errands before my hair appointment. Then at 3, I'll be meeting classmates for our monthly gathering. I'll be back home by 5, but once the sun goes down, I've lost my best light for sitting in front of the dining room windows, with my frame and magnifying lamp. I may try to sit down for a little while, but it's usually more taxing on my eyes to rely solely on lamplight.
I'm going to earmark tomorrow as my stitching day, and see whether or not I'm able to put on my desire into action. I'll let you know.
Tomorrow, of course, I'll be sharing our group classmate photo. You'll be able to see what I finally decided about my hair. I still haven't made up my mind. Can you even believe it? I'll see you again tomorrow!
Yes, if I don't work on something everyday, I do miss it.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your gathering & we can't wait to see what haircut you have decide on.

Sherry of createology: I honestly do not know where my days go. I am very curious what you did with Wendy your hairdresser. To me you look marvelous with long or short sassy hair. I know you will enjoy your classmates. Not being creative is me losing my soul. Blessings Dear.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteI'm with you, dear. How can it already be close to the end of November? I have so much to do before 12/25! Thank you for your kind words. Had a grand time with friends at dinner, and it was funny how long it took them to notice the difference in my hair! lol As for creative time...I know exactly what you mean.

This week has pretty much been a loss when it comes to getting much done, although I have managed to squeeze out 2 pairs of PJ/lounge pants for adult kids and have pretty much finished a pair of grandie-sized (just waiting on inseam and waist measurements). Two more pairs to make (would have been three but couldn't find Spiderman flannel so hopefully will be able to buy them ready-made) and then it's on to the pillowcases. The postal strike has put a screw in the works for some things.
ReplyDeleteI like what Sherry said ' not being creative is me losing my soul' - how true that is!
Hi MA:
DeleteOh, girlfriend, you're waaaay ahead of me this year. Yikes! I'm going to have to step on it very soon. I love the idea of pillowcases. I may have to add that to my agenda. Darn postal glitches. Dont' even get me started. I hope it resolves in time for holiday mailing! I know you're part of the Creative Sisterhood. You get it, too.
