that whole uncreative process

I'll be frank, I'm feeling a little shitty today. I'm not actually having a bad day or anything by that but I have all of these little projects that are bubbling inside of my head and I'm really not sure how to move forward with any of them. I get discouraged very easily and then I stop what I'm doing and then I get upset I never finish anything. Complain, complain, complain.

I want to create something, design something. I have no marketable skills in that area but I think it would be fun to teach myself. I have a husband who is extremely talented in any and all aspects of computer graphics so I'm fairly lucky in that aspect that he can always guide me, but I want to do more. Not even for business (though it would be nice) but just for a fun hobby. I need to get my sights in order and start doing something. I am not getting any younger. I'll be 26 this year. I used to think that was too old to start something new and then I read that Julia Child didn't start cooking until she swas 37 years old. Whoa, that just floored me. I could do that, I could figure out something awesome and put myself out there and design something great! I don't want to design clothes or homes, I don't think I'd be able to do that. I want to design words, logos, whatever. Cards? Banners? I don't know, I just love typography. I love words, I love reading and writing and making things pretty. My style taste changes daily, some days its bright bold colors, PINK, YELLOW, GREEN and other days I like the more the muted tones. Lately it's more the former however, maybe it was visiting Crate & Barrel with Zack but now I seem to want more sleek lines and random color pops. Wow are these just weird thoughts or what? I'm so entertaining.

I have been thinking of someday building a loft above the garage so that Zack and I can have an "office" that's slightly away from home even if it is still in our property lines. If only, right? I've just been thinking of it a lot lately, a place to have all our creative stuff strewn about? I'd love it.

This whole set hasn't gone live yet, but I'm loving what I've seen so far of Bri Emery's loft. I think they'll all be featured tomorrow, I cannot wait.

Love the blue and all the bright photo frames, definitely something I could get used to.

Usually this color would be too subtle for me, but there is something I love about the sparkly garland.


Now I've just got to work on me and my attitude. I do believe in myself, I have a good support system, I just get over-whelmed. Maybe I need a vacation??

  1. I have totally felt the same way and still do from time to time. I find that if I decide to accomplish something small (I mean, Honey I shrunk the Kids small), then I feel better instantly. Also it makes me want to accomplish more! I am here if you need someone to bounce ideas off of!
