creating.

i have a need to create. do you?

when i think about my goals and dreams, what makes me happy, i have noticed they all have to do with creating something. whether it’s cooking, sewing, writing, painting, organizing (creating a clean space!) or even desiring to be a mom (creating life, how cool!), i am happiest when i am making something. i find great joy in starting from chaos, from a mess, or from nothing and using my inspiration to create something new and different.

as i’ve become more aware of this fact about myself i try to make sure that i am doing something each day that fills this hunger for creating so i am purposeful in my day. yesterday i sewed something and made dinner. today i am writing, will probably paint and will make dinner again.

i love being in the kitchen, throwing things together and having them work together in a way that creates a delicious meal. i did not make the foods, but i make a meal by allowing them to work together in harmony.  

i love taking my newly acquired sewing skill and putting myself to the test. i take fabric and turn it into something beautiful that i can feel proud of.

i always wanted to paint and with encouragement from my husband, i started. i take the visions in my mind and put them onto canvas. i will admit i’m not very good, but i am happy when i see my work, knowing i put forth the effort, and happy because i created.
