Trying to find time in the cracks... not working so well! :) Seems everybody & everything demands your time like it's no big deal anymore. Doctors, dentists giving "do this everyday" instructions.. it'll only take twenty minutes... to making sure you spend quality family time, clean house, exercise & the long lines at the stores (seems the corporations are crunching those payroll figures!).. oh, but don't forget to spend a little time to yourself so you stay sane! hah!So, in question, the time to myself is practically extinct... hard choices how to spend it & get the most of it in those ten minute intervals. I haven't crocheted/knit in a long while mostly because it takes too long & I don't get the kind of gratification of finishing something that I have always gotten from drawing/sketching/painting. So although I have tried to get back into drawing before unsuccessfully... I am REALLY REALLY trying it now. It is something I lived for & did at any free moment when I was younger, a car ride, side of my notes in class, actual classes on the subject... then one day my life took a ... 540 degree turn? That my life was so different & haphazard that I just stopped drawing that day. I didn't have the time, supplies, lived in a completely new place & have been playing "catch up" ever since (14 years). Factor in a dozen jobs, about two dozen new places to live including the ocean tied up at the end with marriage & three children.
So in my quest to get back to what makes me happy & 'stress-less'.. I am going to try harder & so far, have been more successful than my previous attempt. I just hope to be able to practice to improve my skills & relax! So, here I have posted a few work I found from 14 or MORE years ago to (hopefully!) see some improvement! It's been a long time in various storage of extremely high temperatures... so smearing & damage was at a high rate.. of those I actually still own! :)
