talking to myself

I need to read this article I wrote for the Wishstudio again and again. Finding the time for art is vital for my sanity. Cutting out my time wasters is hard, so hard at times. I have to remind myself of that and that it is better to do something artistic than nothing at all.


I am pouring my creative energy into my house right now. It is taking shape. Each day it becomes more and more what I envisioned. I can't wait to share photos. I left my camera at my friend's house... just shows you my priorities right now!!!!! I have had some time to process more photos from Ireland. This is my dad with my youngest son Maximus. 


Upcoming:
On Saturday August 7 I will be hosting another follower giveaway. Check in to see if you won.

On August 30, over that the Wishstudio I will be leading an online workshop for parents & kids, a kind of arty playgroup. Details HERE on the wishstudio. The other leaders are Tracey Clark, Pixie Campbell, Mindy Tsonas and Stephanie Lee, what an awesome group!!!!

    Creating is sooo important.
    A must for each and every day.
    No matter how small or how much...
    no matter the project or the outcome..creating is something I must do. I am happier when I do. Create. WishStudios looks cool.
    I will be checking back.

  7. Welcome back! Where did the summer go? I am constantly re-prioritizing things and needing to remember to celebrate what I do do and not focus upon all the things I am planning on doing!

    sounds like a great workshop ... can't wait to read more. (and i did my altered story book and my daughter loves it! we read it every night together ... i have 2 books awaiting gesso as i type!)

  10. I have been looking at your photo's - they are stunning!! This one here too is gorgeous. I hope you are getting back on top of things with a kitchen half done. The trip to Ireland looks amazing. I am 'off' this week too with a chance to wind down and not always working so very much!

    Happy holidays.

  12. Dear Shona,

    I have received your book yesterday and I wanted to thank you so much for writing it! This book is talking to me gently but loudly! This is a life changing book. When I'm reading it, I'm so joyful that I'm near tears! I'm proud to be a mom and an artist of life! Thanks for giving me theses tools, for writing these words and prompts. I'll do the program, for sure!

    Love,

    Manon
