just can't get enough pink
thanks for all the kinds words about my "abloom" purse...
it seems that i am surrounding myself with all things pink lately. i just can't get enough pink in my life...
i continue to sew fabric and paper and other bits and bobbins together...even though i am also working on some kind of a sinus infection, i am still having fun with all the ideas flowing through my head that i then translate into something tangible. an idea becomes something i can touch.
kelly and i keep brainstorming about ArtFest and all the fun that is to come. she is also helping me think through creating my shop and some other things. during our conversations, i have had to admit that i think i create obstacles for myself to prevent myself from accomplishing what i really want to do. i don't see it as fear in the moment, but that is what it is. i am giving it a name. it is, indeed, fear. i am afraid to admit what i want and who i am and who i want to be...
i have written down steps, attainable steps, of what i will do in the next few weeks to get my website, etsy shop, and other things together. i took the first step last night (order moo cards to hand out at ArtFest). tonight i went to the art store and bought two 8x8 canvases to use in creating two pieces for the ArtFest gallery (the pieces are already sketched! just have to make them real now). the next steps include creating just the front page for my website, organizing and making my trades for ArtFest, and finishing up a few things for the shop that is to come.

you...

I think we all do that, Liz- create these obstacles for ourselves- maybe we feel like we really don't deserve something good in our lives... but we do, we really do. We are here to manifest joy, for ourselves and for others.
I am so excited for you, too! Can't wait!
This is so exciting. YOU are abloom.
Liz, sounds like a wonderful creative fervor! I wish I was goign to be at Artfest with you guys, but oh well. Too much happening this year! I will read your posts about it instead! As for pink, I'm a big fan too!

i can never get enough pink (or red, for that matter). that purse is DIVINE. i need one. asap. i guess i should bust out my sewing machine and jump on it.
you are amazing, darling. simply amazing.
You have really got some creative mojo going on (and pink is my favorite color, so keep creating)! I can feel the excitement coming from your last couple of posts. Good for you :D
i love all of our conversations about dreaming big. little steps are really big ones towards our dreams, aren't they? so here's to moo cards, domain names, and etsy accounts. it's all happening my friend!
I have some of those same buttons in my collection. :) K
"...i am also working on some kind of a sinus infection." As my mother would say, you might not want to affirm that. ;)
I love pink, especially when it's vintage buttons in pink! Those moo cards! I didn't know they existed but I've bookmarked the site so I can cruise around there some more, I know I need those for something!!
I hope your sinus infection stops progressing.
I am so excited for you. I understand thea fear. I think I tend to follow that pattern as well.
It is wonderful thjat you have a friend (Kelly) that has ventured before you, to share and encourage you. That is a special gift.
You are very talented-I much enjoy the piece of yours that hangs in my studio. I look forward to your etsy and seeing all your creations
Love
