Some people say they thrive in chaos. That is kind of true for me. I thrive in creative chaos, but if my room is a mess or the kitchen hasn't been cleaned, I feel off-kilter. Now, before you go thinking I'm some domestic goddess who always keeps a clean house, you couldn't be farther from the truth. My life is messy. It's difficult to clean up the clutter, run a business, take care of a family and all the other job descriptions I hold. You know what I'm talking about. I'm hardly alone in the messiness. Today was Field Day. (That's the Navy wife coming out!) Field day is the military term for "cleaning house"! Laundry was washed, dried, folded and, for the most part, put away. (I refuse to put away laundry for a 10 year old who is perfectly capable.) Floors are swept and vac'd, my hubby even got outside and washed windows and hosed down the house completely! We're sparkling here! Since I spent most of the day cleaning and putting away 6 weeks of clutter, there wasn't a whole lot of time for creativity but I managed to create some chaos after cleaning up some chaos! I still have no idea what I'm doing but that's how I like it. The idea in my head is a kind of mini-sampler table runner. Right, it was supposed to be a baby blanket but I've changed my mind, which proves that there is just as much chaos in my brain as there is in my house AND studio!
No rhyme or reason, I know, but now you see how I operate! With absolutely no plan or pattern to speak of. And I think I'm going to have to get a bigger and more professional looking design wall! The batting scraps pinned to the wall with my daughters flower pins are HYSTERICAL!
