Finding my Muse

Yay!  Finally feeling creative again.  It takes some inspiration and emotion for me to be able to get really creative.  It is my emotional 'zen' outlet.  My connection to my inner self.  I wish I could do it easier and use it as a way to escape.  Sadly though.... I can't paint, color, bake/decorate, sculpt, write, play guitar, scrap or craft (all my mediums for creativity) without being able to let go of my day-to-day busy business driven life for fear of feeling like I'm neglecting something.

So when life is most hectic... I rarely can get my Zen on!!  But this time is different.  It's my annual slow season .... its my favorite reason for getting creative: Emotions!  And just like when I was young and at my most creative - its my own self causing the emotions. Last time I was able to really be inspired was a year ago when I met my cousins again after 20 years of being disconnected.  It was an amazing trip and I've never letting go of them again!!

This time it's weird.  In last month as I've worked to become healthier, I have learned more about my inner strength and my own spirituality than ever before. Is it because of this?  Or is it my aging hormonal female body?  Who knows but the bottom line is: I've been on the edge of busting into tears at the drop of a hat all month! It's crazy but it's true.... a sad song, a family on tv, a sappy Facebook post.... ugh and it gets worse.... just recently.... the movie "Real Steel".  Yes - I cried at the end of a freaking boxer robot movie.  ha! ha!

Nonetheless - all this outpour of emotion has created MUSE!  So I'm ready.  I'm planning my Fall Cake Pop decorations and thinking about my next painting.  Definitely going to do a new front door wreath.

Here is a table from the decorator Kim Myles.  I love how she takes inexpensive things and recycles them into treasures.  Look what she did with her stencils to this simple table... incredible.
I can't wait to see what comes up.

Oh and I almost forgot..... My husband and I have decided to redo the master bathroom!!  I have been begging for a home improvment project for years and I finally got it.  I wanted a kitchen backsplash first but I am exstatic to get this instead!  One tile project at a time.

Wish us luck!
