Free The Things
I'm making another press to get rid of things I don't need. I made a pretty clean seep except in the studio. There I have a shocking amount of "stuff". For example, our little friend the dwarf turn pirate throw pillow.
I made a dwarf for the "Snow White" room when Halloween and a Half was "Fairy Tails" then he morphed in to a pirate for "regular Halloween" a year or so later. His stuffing was donated to another project at some point. LOL Why do I still have him?
I think I have a lot of this stuff because in some weird way I am terrified I won't make anything as good again. Not that he is so fantastic but it is this weird fear. It is like proof I was creative at some point.
there is also a lot of random things I found interesting - rusted bolts, shells, bits of this and that. I honed that down to one shelf (This is WAY more exciting an accomplishment than you would think).
I hoard photographs the same way. "Look, I did/went someplace interesting. I'm interesting!".
Allegedly, seeing the pattern helps you break it. We'll see. LOL
The bonus motivator is getting the studio neat enough so I can make the Christmas card tomorrow without my head exploding over the mess. ;-)
Things I Am Grateful For
Having enough
Hot popcorn out of the air popper sprinkled with Old Bay
Christmas lights
My home
Next steps
Christmas music
Those little cloths to clean my glasses
Thick socks
Instagram - I love the visual peeks into other people's days. I miss that on LJ.
Cashmere (I have one cashmere sweater of awesomeness - who needs two?)
Things I Want Today
A week off
To get past this awkward hair growing in phase
