Thoughts on Moving

"In 2010 I will be working on numerous arts projects. I am just a simple artist who hopes to make a small difference through creative expression and positive interaction. So much to do, so little time."

This was my posted thought at the beginning of 2010.  Now here it is August and we are well into the second half of the year.  Time flies and so it goes.  This summer my focus has been on getting us moved to a new location.  Who knew that we would make such a big, big change in such a short, short time?  The house we picked, our new "Casita," is just right for Henry, Papa and me, a teeny tiny castle at the bottom of a big, big hill.  Everything happens for a reason!?  Artsy endeavors...quilting, sewing, artsy projects are currently on hold.  I am a firm believer that change we must and so we did; thus, the move.

Utter Clutter

Moving from a house you have lived in for 24 years is an exercise in letting go in order to move forward.  I never thought I had too many things...except maybe crafty books and, oh!! of course, those many doodly do's from my craft room...okay then!...maybe I am a crafty artist of excess; but now that all my threads, yarns, fabrics, paints, patterns, etc., etc., are packed away in boxes, my thought for the day is what utter clutter!!

Casita on the Move!

Summertime.  No thunderheads here, but the days are hot and humid nonetheless.  July 2010 is the month that we sold our house in Cerritos on the first day of Open House.  Mama, Papa and Henry are on the move.  Casita business (the creative variety) is on hold until we get settled in our new home.
