I’m trying to get inspired. Something inside of me is craving color, imagination, creativity… I need a project. I am not sure what kind of project. I don’t know if this thing inside can just be squelched by a simple trip to Hobby Lobby for a paint by numbers, or even a day outside with my camera, BUT I NEED SOMETHING! This is not the first time this has happened and it usually results in me redecorating my apartment in some way. But frankly right now I don’t have the space nor the budget for such an adventure.
I should probably start at home by cleaning out my place… I just don’t have space for everything so it always looks a mess. At least to me it does. There is just STUFF everywhere. Maybe that’s what this feeling is. I feel buried and I just need to burst out from under the pile of laundry that continuously inhabits my bathroom floor.
I wish I had a bigger outside space at my house so that I could put a hammock up (that’s random I know, but it’s true). Swinging in a hammock outside in the sun is one of the most free feelings ever. I will have a hammock someday…mark my words.
I will also have a reading/craft/office type room of my own. A “Lady Cave”, if you will. A place where I will paint on the walls and color with crayons and pin up pictures that bring me joy. It will have a giant map of the world on the wall where I can map my travels and plan my next dream destination. It will have a large comfy chair, big enough for myself and hidee ho to snuggle together with a book. I will surround myself with my books. It will be my happy place.
Until then, though, I think I will start by cleaning out my closet.
