I've worked so long at having a booth and now that I no longer have it I've struggled a bit to really get back into my studio and focus! I've been so used to being busy, busy, BUSY with full-on retail that settling down my mind has been a bit of a challenge. It's so strange how you can slip right out of the groove of creating. I've just been busy with life and then sometimes I forget the ongoing affection I have for working with thread and needle will never truly go away. Nor will my love for painting! I'm so thankful to be back doing what I love without the pressure of displaying and stocking a large booth. It's funny though how you get out of a routine if you're not careful. But...life indeed moves us forward and these days I work with a different kind of intensity and purpose. I just love making something from vintage fabric finds, snippets of old lace and forgotten fragments saved from another's life... Working with my hands is so rewarding. Sometimes change is hard. Really hard. Giving up my booth (and it's fabulous location in the shoppe) was tough. Still...I knew it was the right thing to do. In the Spring (thinking far ahead here!) my Mr. AGP Man is going to turn our small storage shed in the far east corner of our backyard into a painting studio for me. I'm very excited about what I hope will be a very inviting space! I've found it's just too difficult to try and paint (I can be messy) inside my current studio that houses sweet fabrics and trims! Time to rethink my work space(s). So...whatever is going on in your life...don't give up on YOU or those dreams spinning around in your head! If you're like me, sometimes I just have to take time to refill my empty "heart and head" with fresh inspiration and then adjust my thought process in order to get through the tough days that sometimes crash into my life! Blessings to you today as you make your way through the your own winding path... Love to you... Rebecca
