Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

Lots of ideas in my head. Lots. Working on a lot of different projects all at once. I’ve knitted and/or crocheted many hats, scarves, and bags. I’m reworking the triptych for the space above our fireplace. It looks like it’s going to work this time. I made a 14k gold bracelet that was supposed to be a cuff, but ended up more like a bangle. I’ve changed the clasp for it twice, but I’m not sure it’s good enough just yet. I’m still working on the thinking part of writing. I even wrote a little. I have more project ideas simmering, from knitting/crochet to jewelry to sculpture. Right now, I need to focus on my holiday projects. Unfortunately, those are the ideas I don’t have yet.
I’m thinking about teaching a class. The local community ed program is always looking for people to teach different workshops. I have tons of art/craft knowledge and experience, so it’s about time I put some of it to more use than entertaining myself. My biggest challenge will be (not surprisingly) believing in myself. Ugh, that sounds so pitiful. I’m not trying to sound pitiful. But really, knowing I have no resume worthy skills is a confidence killer for me. I’m working on it.
Our Halloween costumes turned out differently than I expected. Instead of my original plan, we did this. I think they’re pretty cool.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
