a creative mess

Our house gets messy quicker than I'm able to clean up. (Yes, the kids do chores, but still...)

I laughed when I saw that my friend Rie filed the photo from my living room at Pinterest with the comment:

"... so soothing".

I grabbed my camara and took a picture as it was

 right there and than... so soothing!!!

Sometimes I try to keep up with everything. I try to be this really neat person. I think my family likes me not so much on these days... and I realized another thing:  my creativity dries up.

Some days being creative is more important to me than a clean house.

So, if you come over and the house is a mess, just know I had other priorities that day...

That's all...

I made this week.

I painted five letters on a piece of driftwood.

Not so much creative energy at the moment.

But that's ok.

I'm at peace with it.

On so many blogs I've read lately:

Do less. Be more.

There is a time for everything.
