I feel you, completely! Manic motherhood, and life full of responsibilities and ‘can’t-wait tasks, make for hardship when the call of your muse is so strong, you would give anything, or near anything, to just grab something, and transform it into art.

It feels like it’s been years since I have been able to find the time to create anything more than a photograph, a quick digital image, or a Halloween costume for the kids. Of course, every time the muse strikes, it feels as if it’s been FAR too long, but I digress.

I hear ya. I was there a year ago. It IS a frantic feeling. A craving. I wonder if Saturn is also transiting your 5th House?

[...] told you I was dying to get my hands on something, anything. So the other night I rummaged through baskets [...]

I am right there with you….It is as if I had written this post!
I am very much in my head (doing a PhD) and so a lot of my creative stuff does seem to be connected to writing or communication but I have this major hankering to get my hands involved but I am floundering at where to start as it is a new world for me.
To make things tougher, we are about to leave Australia and roam for a while around the globe (no direction planned as yet) and so can’t really take much with us…so I need to be even more creative in how to make it possible.
Thanks for the inspiration

I experienced a creative rebirth after Orlando was born… I started writing again, after not having written creatively for a long time. I wrote an essay-story called Mother of Sound about that experience here.
But writing is all in my head… and I tend to be and stay in my head when given the chance… Over time, I’ve sought some balance, seeking handwork (knitting, gardening, drawing, clay) and personal connection (post-partum doula-ing, nvc coaching), but nothing is really taking off. I sometimes wonder if I am just chicken or a realist in not pursuing these things more doggedly.
I love that you are so energized and inspired… think of what is coming your way, through you into the world.
Blessings,

Whip up a whole bunch of paper mache and create… it helps if you have a child to assist.

I’m getting off the computer right now to go knit. That’s right, I’m finally learning!

But yeah, all that “practical” mumbo jumbo gets in the way…A LOT. I need to quit doing that, too.
