Back to work

Well, I'm getting my groove back. This is big! I feel like I'm slowly coming around.

You know the Miranda Lambert song, The House That Built Me?

Watch:

  

I love this song!! For a lot of reasons, but mostly, after this year, I feel more and more that need to "go back". To find myself, to heal the brokenness inside me. 

My studio is included in that "house that built me". It's something that I've kind of avoided for a while because of the brokenness. I couldn't make myself be creative if I wanted to... I know most of you will relate to that. 

But, thank God, things change. I am healing and getting better. Some of that brokenness is being repaired. One way I can tell is that creating actually seems fun again, not a chore. It's exciting again... not something I am trying to make happen.

So, this is good. This is a step. 

For now, I am happy to make a few small things here and there for my enjoyment and for yours. :)

Christmas goodies are making there way to my shop! I've listed some items just today and will continue to list items here and there until Christmas. Here are some of the things I've added to the etsy shop so far...

I'll post again when I add more to the shop... should be this week sometime... I'll give you a hint...

Dear Analise
I've read was you wrote lately. I'm sorry you have been going through such sorry in your heart and home.
I was at a concert here in Ottawa, Canada this summer, and heard Amanda sang this song. Everyone stopped in their tracks, and listened. I hadn't seen the video till today. I now know where you are coming from dear girl.

We have all been "broken". And at times it is a terrible struggle to crawl back. i've been there. So happy to hear you are on the mend. Wishing you much joy!

Hi,
I stumbled on your blog from Etsy... Wow. I just love everything about your blog and shop. You certainly are a girl after my own heart. I'm now following your blog (in a non-stalker way ;)...) And i'll be back for more.
Your corner of the web totally made me happy, thanks! :)

hi doll,
i know exactly what you mean about being broken. after the thing i was asking you about that was a serious let down i felt like the creative juices where just sucked out of me. all used up for the ungrateful; for me to be forgotten and left behind. i am hoping my creative juju comes back i sure need something to distract from my everyday

Looks like wonderful new goodies! I know exactly what you mean about getting your groove back! I think we all struggle with that now and then. Sometimes for me it felt like I would never snap out of it. Lovely work!

Happy to hear you have your creative groove back. I know how you feel. Awhile back I went through some difficult times with close members of my family. All I can tell you is my hear was seriously broken. I use to create for them so many things. It all came to a halt, and I stopped. It took awhile and just started to create again. You are right, it can heal you. The hard part is getting started. BTW, I hope your sneek peak is of one of your sugar houses. I would love to purcahse another one. The one I have from last year is so beautiful. LOL
