be more creative

I am finding myself with more free time lately as my Master’s degree program wraps up, and since I am not getting as many hours at work.

I started a cross stitch project today. I haven’t worked on one in a year or two. Hopefully, I will stick with it and complete it.

Now that spring semester is over, and I’m “just” working full time (with no school in addition to that), I’ve started working on a cross stitch project that I hope to eventually give to my Mom as a gift.

I finished the quilt I was making for my best friend’s baby. It’s funny because it’s put me in the mood to do other creative things.

I got a lot done on the quilt I am making for my friend’s baby when my internet connection was down for two days. Funny, how much time I spend online.

I hope to have it finished sometime this next week, the earlier the better.

Today, I worked more on the quilt that I am making for my best friend’s new baby.

I am hoping to have it done by the end of the month at the latest.

Creative stuff is so relaxing.

This afternoon, I am going to start making a quilt for a friend’s new baby.

I do everything by machine so hopefully I can have everything done in a few afternoons worth of work.

I think I’m pretty artsy, although I fell like I am disguised as a professional person. I used to be this big art person in high school. Anyway, I did some ceramic work about a week ago, and it was strange how fast I got back into that creative mode. I am definately making time in my busy schedule for creative stuff. I feel like it helped me to focus better on my schoolwork and put me ina better mood at work.

I’m so busy with work and school, I haven’t done anything creative in a while. But, I don’t want to say I give up yet. This can always be a long term goal.

In the past I have been way more creative than I am now. I work in the medical field and while we do a lot of brainstorming when a problem comes up, it is all so science based.

In the past I have written poetry, played the piano and guitar, painted watercolor pictures, sewn my own clothes and quilts. When did I get so analytical and stop doing these creative things?

I will work on something artsy at least once a week.
