it's one of those weird gut feelings...
For some reason, the last couple of days I've had this weird, overwhelming feeling of discontent... antsyness... bottled up creativity... a caged bird, if you will. I feel like I can't sit down. I feel like I want to move far away. I have this overwhelming WANT to create somthing new... with my craftiness AND far more important... my life. Maybe I'm just going through a 'mid 20's crisis'. Or maybe there are so many projects in this house to start & finish and I'm just overwhelmed. Or maybe it's because this house doesn't feel like my home... yet. We've been here 7 months and I keep waiting & waiting for it to feel like home and it just doesn't. I've been stairing at this blank canvas that has been sitting on my table for the last week or so. I'm dying to do somthing with it. I have somthing in mind but I need to work up the courage to actually do it... and finish it. Maybe thats all I need... to let some creative juices flow. I plan on spending some time at our local scrapbook store this weekend and sitting down... by myself... and working on my project. Maybe such a simple project like that will help me get rid of this discontent... antsyness & bottled up creativity. Lets hope! :o)

I know how you feel. I think it's the change of seasons. Maybe you need to learn to knit, or sew or something. As for the blank canvas, do you mean that literally? Painting seems itimidating (to me at least) but once you get started, it is so fun, and if you mess up, you can just paint over it.
You are SO creative; can't wait to see what you do with yourself!
yep, an actual canvas. Lucky for me, it's not painting that I will be doing on it. I am sooo not a painter. LOL!
I've been that way so many times in my life. I hate the feeling. Maybe if you get something done with Allie's room it will give you the inspiration/desire to do the next project you want to tackle. Call me if you need help paining walls - I can do that!
That IS a common feeling----happens to all of us---a feeling of NEEDING to do something---but what !
And yes, Jodi is a painter---extraordinaire ! (ok, I can't spell it but you know what I mean). She just hops right to it !
Let us know what wonderful thing you come up with.
Hope you got it out of your systems safely!
