What to do, what to do! I have so many creative tongs in the fire at the moment that my head is spinning! My main tong is vintage fabrics. I have been collecting fabric these last few weeks and washing it as I go. My goal is to make beautiful homewares from mainly vinatge fabrics and sell them. Sounds simple eh? I will get there, but it seems to be a long circuituous route at the moment.
I must get rid of my blocks. I must relax. I must cleanse my aura. I think I will have to look at my Daily Motivator more often and really focus. I must clean the house and be creative in a beautiful, calm uncluttered environment. (after I tend the garden, paint and decorate my daughters bedroom, bake a cake, start some artworks and go through that pile of paperwork that won't go away) I must relax. I must relax and have fun! Breathe, Nick breathe. I will attain inner harmony and composure. I will ooze serenity and create real purpose in my life. People will look at me and be instantly calmed and inspired by my creative soul. My hair will lose all frizziness and cascade in soft natural curls around my totally relaxed and unlined face.
First things first though, a cuppa, a scotch finger and Kerry-Anne, then I'll get my act together.
Those fabrics look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis post cracked me up, if you get some of that calm thing happening can you send some my way? Loving your line full of vintage treasures, we seem to be on a similar track. Good luck keeping and getting it all together, it sounds like you are off to a great start! xo
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the calm hair. I'd like some of that. Keep meditating...!
ReplyDeleteI love the shots of the struggling under the weight clothesline.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics - I'm so jealous! It's hard to get organised when there are soo many important things to do isn't it!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love your photos and hope i can ooze some serentiy into my hair too...sounds like a lovely life you are living!

ReplyDeleteI hope you have a day of relaxed crafting without a bad hair day in sight.

ReplyDeleteYou had me until you mentioned Kerry-Anne...and what is this daily motivator of which you speak...I want me one of those! Great fabric btw and look forward to seeing what you create...when you're tranquil that is!
ReplyDeleteSeeing all those fabrics out there blowing in the breeze seriously made my heart skip a beat! You could frame that picture...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric, find that calm and carry it on over to my house :P
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Love all the vintage goodness and the sentiment, I think most crafty types can relate to. Especially those with homes and children and a mountain of papers and misbehaving hair. Bring on the tea and bikkies!
ReplyDeleteforget the relaxing, that's my theory. messier the space, the more creating i am doing!
ReplyDeleteyour creative space is so much more than just fabric ... there's a little something from your creative space in mine right now! LOL
ReplyDeletethank you so much for a little piece of your creativity ... i just love it.
My Creative Space
It looks so peaceful seeing all those pieces of fabric hanging on the line. Reminds me a little of growing up, when I used to get fried alive by my mother for running between the clean clothes on the line and making them less clean.
ReplyDeleteWow... what a collection! They are just gorgeous. Good luck with your making - I'm sure you'll be fine :) K
