Having a third baby has definitely shifted my creative life in ways I didn’t fully expect. And while Baby Jude is worth every bit of it (and then some), I’d be lying if I said I don’t miss the freedom I used to have to just make things.
My brain feels fuller than ever lately. Ideas for paintings, projects, designs, all constantly floating around waiting for their turn. Sometimes it’s frustrating having so little time to bring them to life. Creativity doesn’t really turn off just because life gets busier. 😵💫
Right now, creating looks a lot different than it used to. It’s squeezed into nap times, late evenings, and the occasional strategic use of cartoons.
But I did manage to finish these little tissue boxes for the kids’ teachers, and honestly, even small pockets of making something with my hands feels really good. A reminder that this season won’t last forever, and neither will the creative pause.
Stick around. I’ve got ideas waiting.
