Time to Make

b doodle

This is a “B” I doodled in my hotel room during a recent trip to Baltimore for work. I brought a sketchbook and my trusty travel bag of pens and pencils because I promised myself I would find some time to doodle. Which I did. Yay for me!
Finding time for art (and creativity in general) has been a little difficult as of late. Juggling homeschooling Mary and working and trying to make progress with home improvements has pretty much been all-consuming. Not that I’d want to get rid of any of those things…. My job is a blessing in so many ways… I wouldn’t trade the special time I’m getting to spend with my girl right now for a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g!….. And, well, it’s just *TIME* to get some things done around The Brown House. 20 years and 3 kids can wear  a little house down without some intensive TLC.
So… how to fit in time for creativity?! Hmmm…. that’s the question of the day.
Here’s fuel for your creativity, bloggy friends - the video I used for making this “B”:

Thanks for the video! Taking a few minutes to draw is such a good thing to do. It is important to develop and encourage creativity in myself but it is something I frequently neglect.
I have a book rec for you. This might be the best book I have read all year... The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. It is a gem.
Enjoy the beautiful fall leaves and this gorgeous weather.

So good to hear from you, Kim! :-) And thanks for the book rec.... Our library has it but it was checked out until the end of October. I'll get it then!
