Plateau

I seem to go through phases where I am either absorbing or creating. Like an input-output process. Lately I have been absorbing, hence the silence on the blog. There is so much forward motion in our lives at the moment, we are building a house, I have started working in another arts organisation, my little boy is nearly a year old, can you BELIEVE it? We are house-sitting whilst we build, so are effectively homeless and it is a very humbling experience. We are living out of a few boxes of our things and relying on other peoples generosity. We keep falling on our feet and life just keeps speeding up. I am working on opening my etsy store, but I am really feeling that I am at a creative plateau where I need to absorb new energies and ideas to move forward in my creativity. It's a slow process and not something that you can force. I have many ideas swirling around, but no cohesion at the moment and very little time. Herewith, a snapshot of my life at the moment...

Seems like you have got your hands full right now. Maybe absorbing a little bit is just the thing to do.

You're building a house ~ how exciting!
I have periods where I don't produce anything tangible. I like to think that I'm incubating ideas during these stages.
Thanks for saying nice things on my blog, by the way. I appreciate it. =]
