I love Creating Art More Than Vacuuming!

Do you?

How do you fit art time in to your busy life?

Do you ever feel guilty for creating instead of cooking or cleaning?

This year has been an exceptionally busy year for me. I thought I was already busy, until August when "busy" took on a whole new meaning! Lol!

My muse is brimming with ideas, she is constantly coaxing me to go to my art room (very supportive I must say!). I have some plans for my holiday posts which should begin very soon, as well as a Holiday Giveaway. You know how I love a giveaway!

Here is a video by andyraydorfman of YouTube that I always find helpful when I am missing my art time. I have shared it before and think it is time to do so again. I hope you like it too.

Hugs,
Terri

    Oh, yes, creating always comes before housecleaning especially as my work has to come before creating.

    I am very lucky as my hubby does all the cooking so I know we'll eat, ha ha ha

    If my 'muse' was a vacuum, I'd be dripping in art!

    I needed a jump-start, Terri! THANKS!

    Love you bunches....J

    I choose crafting over vacuuming today, but I usually don't start crafting until after dinner. Might choose crafty again tomorrow, it's not like the housework is going anywhere, LOL! Marilyn

    Oh my, the video's made me teary. TFS.
    I art whenever I can...my art comes in many forms. I vacuum when it becomes blaringly obvious that vacuuming needs to be done. But I do have sort of a routine where the boring housework bits get done early so I can art for most of the day.

    Terri,I have barely had any time for creating, even taking pictures. I have been doing some materials swaps and that keeps me connected but I sure miss creating! I know there will be a time, but it is a huge loss. I am going with Jud next week to Mayo and taking things with me to do. I probably could use more mobile projects but they are things I don't do! Well, there is always a first time to start!
    Hugs,
    Suz

    LOL! Terri, no, I'm not guilty of feeling guilty for making art before cleaning or cooking! Just don't enter my house with a white glove!

    Have FUN!!!

    Oh I just wrote about people leaving notes in the dust in my house! I need to scrape together the cash to hire someone. But someone else commented that after we die, three days later, there's still dust, so.... dust can stay!
