Sometimes things come to me in brilliant flashes. I think wow, that is amazing, I MUST do that, or write that. And then, not 2 minutes later, I have forgotten the key thing that made it brilliant. Be it how to write the "perfect" phrase for what ever reason, or an exact colour combination for an artistic project... And then I get frustrated. Really frustrated.
I also start a thousand personal projects which often get way laid for the next new exciting idea I want to try or some other older idea that resurfaces and re-inspires me. I have a short attention span. There. I said it out loud.
Today I realised that my three year old is exactly the same. She is always looking for something new to do, or something always takes her attention right in the middle of whatever she may be doing. But she has an imagination with no bounds.
But today I worked out something else. I am who I am and she is who she is. And I love her for who she is, so I need to love myself too. As much as I try to change and do tricks to help focus and all the rest, I will still always want to be doing something new and creative, usually right in the middle of the last creative project. Now I plan to just go with it and embrace the way I am.
As such I have decided to start blogging again. Maybe it will help me focus my thoughts, maybe it will help be stay on track. But most of all I hope it inspires some other creative soul like me to try new creative things, even if it is right in the middle of your last creative project!!
I cannot promise to stick to Love+stuff related posts, or even creative focused posts. My blogging style is akin to my attention span - it jumps all over the place to whatever is taking my focus next. But I do promise to share things that inspire me, things that play on my mind, creative exploits I am exploring, new patterns and designs I create and any other bloggers, businesses and other online finds that are just too good not to share!
Lots of love, Sarah x
