It's hard to believe how fast this year has gone past with only another 6 months to go until Christmas celebrations and another new year.
With winter in tow, I find myself enjoying the rain and cold winds indoors and creating because as a creative there's so much to do and to create. As you can see in the pic, I enjoy making boutinerres or otherwise known as buttonholes for wedding lapels or for formal wear for balls etc. I've also decided to try my hand at making wrist corsages because I like making small flower arrangements for fun.
Interestingly enough, our eldest is in Uni and our middle child has to wait another year before attending the senior ball, so I've got plenty of time to create that stunning corsage for the occasion. Now just to figure out how to make it.
Until then, I've also picked up embroidering which is another type of floral art except it's with using a needle and specialised thread as well as a hoop and a pattern on cotton material - very good for reflective thinking whilst creating.
There's never a dull day in my household with so much to do and consider.
This is apart from considering my doctoral ethics and the various chapters that I'm working on. So exciting but more on that to come.
Suffice to say that whilst I'm studying I'm also creating and I'm enjoying the ride.
Although it has been a little difficult in having to say "no" to quite a few things with the studies, creative space and family times...
