Art Every Day
Tuesday, 20 November 2012
I thought things could only get better after the first week, but apparently that was optimistic.
Report: 1 feather stamp, blue ink. Various sketching, dismal. Small amount of stitching. Some cooking/baking, but hardly beyond the normal day-to-day.
So much of my identity is tied to being an Artist, being Creative, so it is unnerving as well as annoying to discover how little time I actually have in which to create. Or, truth be told, how little time I make. Because the time is there, right? It’s just how I am choosing to use it.
For me, perhaps, joining this challenge is a reminder that in order to keep this part of my identity alive I really truly do need to make space to create.

Dear Amanda,
I want to send you a big welcome hug for being part of the Art is a Way blogroll!
I’m honored to have you on board. I also want to say congratulations on your new role as a Mom!
The beginning is the hardest part. I experienced great frustration when I realized that I was not
able to do all the things that I had in mind. But little by little I had to learn how to make things work.
It’s a process. The most important thing is to be very nice to yourself, and patiente.
Your baby is ADORABLE!
Sending you and your beautiful family my love!
Elsita
