Well, after lamenting about life in general and coming around and sending out gratitude for life and all her creatures, the creativity spark returned. I feel like it can sometimes be a closed loop: no time for creativity leads me to feel stifled, which halts my creativity, I wallow a bit, and then *SNAP* – It’s back! Feeling better, finding time to create and get my groove back. So this is my upswing. I’ll warn you, it’s only a start, but a start nonetheless!
Bloomers inspired by my eldest’s obsession with skirts and dresses.
I made a quick pair of pants and matching gift bag/reuseable sack for some friends who just had a baby. Best part: they were made from a 50c t-shirt from the thrift shop, and I had everything in my fabric cabinet–no money spent!
This photo is the promise of renewed commitment. I have talked about trying to follow a more Waldorf-style for my young children and family, but quickly got buried in the day-to-day, as new ideas often do around here. Here’s my nod: our new Seasonal Tree, just in time for Summer Solstice. It was pruned from a young tree in our front yard (much to the disappointment of Em) and after letting the leaves dry, I hung it from the ceiling (preserving space but keeping it in our constant sight). We are currently gathering seasonal items that represent summer and will decorate it as part of our homage to the rebirth of the moon goddess. Will post pictures when that happens!
