fall into creativity

i think the dip in temperature caused a rise in my creativity. i want to be creative everyday. i miss the blog, miss writing. i am glad to be back.

i am painting now too - the second one started all on my own. it's ugly but i haven't gotten frustrated and that is a victory for me. i am also starting a painting class monday evening at the local artists guild of which i am now a member. taking a class was on my list and i cut it pretty close but i got it in before i turn 35 in two weeks.

i am also supporting creative people by buying gifts almost exclusively from etsy.com. if you do not know of etsy, take a minute to check it out. i would almost dare you not to become lost for hours searching for fun things. there are some extremely elementary things on the site but mostly it's filled with great art of all mediums done by really talented artists and crafters around the world.

i am cooking more, too, inspired by the cooler weather and this season of Top Chef. i made this mediterranean harvest gratin last night to accompany fillets for our anniversary and it was amazing.

i am listening to more music, watching more movies and reading more books. i recommend "into the light: john mayer live in LA," "once," and "run" by ann pachette.

where did all this time come from? what was i doing with it before? i am still playing with willie, still walking with lucy, still hitting the gym and finding time to shower. maybe it's not for me to question...just enjoy. i think i can do just that.

with that in mind, enjoy this amazing video i stumbled upon. i cannot get enough of it - creativity knows no bounds. just open your mind and your eyes.

"music by birds" in the credits... I almost started to cry and then started laughing. Yes, you've found your creativity and I've found hypersensitivity and easy tears. You are very creative and have a great eye for detail (seen in your decorating). Enjoy the process! Glad to have you back in the blogging world.
