Clearing Out


Sometimes creativity gets the better of us! After spending time clearing out and cleaning out my sewing studio, I'm finding myself drawn to the space more so than before. With the clutter removed and my favorite fabrics, threads, notions, and sewing machines readily available, I find my mind is clearer and I am able to think through creative blocks. I've been able to carry forward my love of creating abstract flowers to be stitched onto abstract leaf type backgrounds. Hopefully, they will be mounted on painted canvases to be displayed and sold. It is inspiring to me to see my work laid out in a clear fashion rather than piled on top of miscellanous "stuff."

How have you cleared the space in your mind for creativity? Do you still have alot of clutter that interfers with the thoughts that bring your spirit to the front?

Spend some time this week clearing out your mind. Write those thoughts down and throw them away.  You don't need them any longer. Write down those creative thoughts that now have time to move to the front of your mind. Post them in a prominent spot in your studio, the front of the refridgerator, by your bathroon mirror. Choose several places that you will see every day. This will help keep your creative thoughts to the front of your mind.

Erase the clutter and move into your creative spirit!
