Works in Progress

Last week was a hard one. I was so, so tired no matter how much I slept. I know things are going downhill when sleep becomes my absolute favorite thing to do in the whole wide world. When I was awake I wanted to eat, which I’m really trying to cut back on. Comfort eating salmon and quinoa just doesn’t have the same feel as comfort eating pans of enchiladas and brownies, so I did the next best thing which is comfort shop.

Hubby and I went to Michael’s yesterday for canvases, but they just happened to have Project Life materials on sale too, so into my buggy they went. I’ve actually waited over a year to buy them, so I’m not sure where exactly that falls on the impulse spectrum. Ryan said creating art is better than eating, and with that I must agree.

Today is better. I have to keep reminding myself that everything circles back. Nothing is every truly broken or once and for all fixed.

I am working on a new series of necklaces for my etsy shop. They are two sided. The front is stamped with a design-a pattern from a doily or vintage lace or a stamp. On the back of each necklace is a word that completes the sentence ‘I am':

Loved, Forgiven, Safe, Creative, Open, Full, Lucky, Soul. Known.

They only have their first layer of paint so far, with at least four more to go. There is still work to be done. I will turn each one over in my hand many more times before they are ready to sell, but I love them already. I can already see how beautiful they can be. They are works in progress. And so am I.
