My Secret Garden



Since we aren't in our home right now, and living in the back-house at my Mom's, I'm finding it interesting how much I'm truly missing my "space" at our home. In the whole scheme of things, a month or two of renting out our home isn't that long, so I know I'm really going to have some adjusting to do if we rent our house out long term. One or two years...? Oh my, ... I hope my creativity doesn't head south with us being away from our birds and gardens, and the loveliness of our restored historic house.

Of course, I know I got my creativity gene from my mom, but my taste is different than hers. I notice this now more than ever as we live amongst her belongings. I am still not entirely organized in my studio over here, so work is moving more slowly, and the things I'm supposed to be working on (ahem, the custom orders) have taken a back seat to my need for order, color and symmetry.

I have a new app on my iPhone; Audiobooks. So, with my noise canceling headphones (must drown out the xBox boys in our small space from time to time!), I listen to recorded books, currently "The Secret Garden". Making scarves like an automaton while my mind is elsewhere... in my own secret garden... the birds and flowers, ... the wondrous colors... the health and rejuvenation... are sure to appear.
