Arts and Design Weekend October 10-12, 2014

It's been far too long since I've posted, much less indulged my creative muse. Life gets busy, and the moments that feed my soul, those moments spent creating, can so easily be pushed aside. There's no denying that the reasons for lack of creativity are pure magic...our two kiddos, Bodhi-oh, now 2.5 years, and sweet Hazel-nut, almost 4 months. They bring joy (and, yeah, periodic frustration) into our daily lives. I want to spend every moment with them, and yet, I know, especially for B, that independent play and his own quiet time are fundamental for his development. As necessary as that is for him, so is creative time and solitude for me.  I registered for the Arts and Design Weekend knowing that it would help light that fire, and get me back in the studio, if only for chunks of time in the wee hours of the night. 

It's a constant and personal challenge to share my art with the world. I typically have some pieces on display in our shop, and on occasion they make it to etsy, but for the most part, they remain hidden. Or at the very least, not easy to find if someone so desired. People often ask me where they can find my work...do I sell it somewhere? That is a very good question. So for now, let's see if I can get this blog rolling again and I'll just take it from there, I suppose.
