I feel like a whirlwind of life has happened here at this computer desk the past month. After building two websites, releasing the new moon reports and a new lookbook, I feel like I can finally breath again, and get back to my normal routine. Well, I don't really have a routine, but back to not having something big on my plate. I enjoyed every moment of all of it, but I miss being in the studio just creating. It's been a few weeks it feels like. Last night I finally got in there and started creating all new wall hangings and it felt so refreshing. I'm incredibly inspired by the ocean right now... after creating the sand dollar drawing and sea song poem, last night I began cleaning a collection of seashells my mom had gathered a long, long time ago. They are so beautiful, so old, and so full of love, for I know she hand picked each one herself with the idea it was somehow 'special'. I love them. I will only use a few for projects I will make to sell. I want to keep most of them for projects for my own home, and to pass down to my children one day, and just to keep around my home. I so badly want to take a trip down to the beach soon. Ive been feeling it in my soul for a long time now. Growing up, we used to go as a family every year. But that stopped a long time ago and now it seems I only go like once every 4 years or something. I want to spend hours just sitting on the beach and watching the water, and take longs walk gathering treasures... I want to feel my toes sink into the wet sand. I want to feel the sun on my skin, and taste like salt.
