Making time ~


It's been so good to be creating again.
And I've actually sold a few items too!
Thank you so much sweet friends for buying my wares.....

I think that life has a way of enveloping us and
really, it should in many circumstances.

But as time goes by,
I see that I can get wrapped up in so many other things.
And don't get me wrong,
these things are important and need to be done ~
but creating something beautiful is my truly my bliss.

So what is this post about?
Making time for what makes you happy....
creating a little something beautiful ~







A sweet nest assemblage inside of a band box!!
Now in my Etsy shop....



Making time...it's SUCH a good thing!!!

Love you all so much,
Dawn

You are so right about taking time to create something beautiful. Sometimes the chores of everyday life can become overwhelming. Taking time out to just do something you love or to make something pretty can add so much to our lives. Your bird nest band box is GORGEOUS! Hope you are having a beautiful day!

I'm jealous, Dawn! I wish I could have the time to just gather my different supplies and go to it with no distractions - just for one day. This week I've been prepping for a class I'm giving tonight, so while I've been feeling the draw to finish my last runner, or redo a lamp, I've bee saying to myself, "No, you need to get the class stuff together". I am hoping sometime this coming weekend to even do a quick simple project. I feel like I'm having crafting/creating withdrawal! : )

Lovely creations dear Dawn! Hope you are safe this morning after all of the storms! HUGS!

Oh Dawn,
I LOVE!!!!!!! your newest creation!!!!

You are so right about creating too.
I believe it is a part of how God made us, to create in some way.
Guess that is why I'm going into withdrawal, what with other things in life going on.
I guess though, that I am creating by all my work on new room at the store, it is just not some little sweet treasure I can hold in my hands. =)

oops. Wrote a book.

big hugs, and blessings, and keep creating such beautiful treasures.

I agree. Now I'm off to follow your advice. That sewing room isn't getting done on its own.

I hope you ALWAYS make time for making the world more beautiful one piece at a time.

Something I noticed years ago: we spend our time taking care of the urgent things - things that must be done, and usually, right now! - that we often ignore the important things - things that matter but are not urgent, so they get delayed and put off and eventually buried. Make time for the important stuff too - like creating or doing whatever it is that brings you bliss. PS: love your art, too. Your assemblages are just darling!
