So it is evening here and I have decided to sit down and write.  What in the world do I write about?  About my ordinary days which make an extraordinary life.   I think about that often, as I do laundry, make meals, do dishes.  All of these things are so repetitive at times, but must happen.  So how do I make them play instead of work. Hmmmm.  I seem to have to be "in the mood"  to get er done.  I am not sure why that is, but as of late, it seems to be that way.  I wake up going, I need to do this.  It is what I end up working on for the day.  Yesterday was working on some of my buried sewing room.  Yes, you read that right, buried.

For the last while, it is where everything seems to get put.  I will get to it later.  Later has arrived and it is time to have my creative space cleaned out and organized again.  As I go along, I realise what will work better and what is not working in this space.  It is just a continuing evolution of change.  Like finding two Mary Englelbrett Christmas tins that will make me smile all year round and store, some pre-wound bobbins.  It is finding unique, fun storage ideas that make me smile.  I have a little dresser, miniature that holds my needles.  It has great memories because it is from a very special gal to me.  It is a mix in here that makes it my space.

So when you create a space for yourself, what will it include?  What is important to you?  What makes you smile?  What makes you giggle and has a memory that makes you laugh?   Surrounding myself with  those kind of items creates a room full of fun and creativity.  A room that makes you smile, now good can that be!!!
