I used to be very crafty and artsy. I would spend a minimum of 4 hours a day painting on giant canvases and turning my apartment into my own private art gallery. I would create counted cross stitch patterns of whimsical little designs that I would stitch onto afghans and things. I would mold and shape little bits of clay into miniature four course meals and personalized Christmas tree ornaments. I would sew custom designed water bottle holders with nifty pockets for snacks and things and giant teepees for my nieces and nephews to camp out in. I had all the time in the world to be creative!!!
Then I went and got married and had a baby.
:-p
Don't get me wrong, I l-o-v-e-
LOVE my husband and my daughter. But I strongly dislike the fact that I no longer have time to be creative (unless you count the various things that I do to run my portrait and wedding photography business - and I don't think that counts).
My point is that if I don't get and keep my creative juices flowing, I'm going to be dry pretty soon!!! And I don't want that to happen. And despite the fact that I don't have time to devote to yet ANOTHER blog (I already have four others going!!!), welcome to my attempt to waking the creative muses that used to inspire me.
I'm going to start with crocheting soft toys for my daughter and hopefully that will segue itself into me returning to painting (at least).
Wish me luck!

Elephants are SO awesome and my favorite animals right up there with giraffes. Jaravee - It's only a matter of time until I'm getting this pattern from you!
