Stuff waiting to be finished

I have no idea how I used to put out so much stuff. I think now that the kids are older they are able to eat more and make bigger messes they don't clean up....because I can't seem to find quality doll making time. It sucks. I'm pissy, Ugh.

Being all over the place can be good!

Usually it's a good thing to start what you finish. It's discipline. But when it comes to creating I find that if I start out with a rigid end-result mindset I might worry too much or never even get started!
But creating is the one place I can be all over the place and it's a good thing!

I just follow my intuition or the creative urge now, even if that means I start painting squares in different colors on a piece of junk wood. I have several painted wood plaques around my room and one day I had the urge to nail a red children's wooden block to it, so I did. Then I found wooden craft game pieces and loved how they looked next to the wooden block. This was a month ago and it's not finished because I didn't know where to take it next. But that's okay, I set it aside and started decorating  a left over scrap canvas with craft pom poms, a marker cap, just goofy things! I didn't finish it because I don't where it's going yet. I'm waiting for the idea to come. It will come, but on its own time. I have learned not to force something, but just to trust. It's this trusting that allows me to get new ideas and grow because the pressure to finish a piece from start to finish is gone.The answer always comes, I just need to wait and be open to it.
I used to feel that I was wasting so much time starting a doll, pillow, or painting and not finishing them. Or spending the entire afternoon setting up displays in my room. I felt like I kept making failures, even though I was very inspired while doing the half part that came to me to create. I am realizing these are necessary steps though, in my creative journey and it's not a waste of time, that this is the way my inner artist grows. I might not understand why,but this is how it is. I just need to trust my intuition and let the ideas out. Without knowing what it will end up being.  JUST LET THEM OUT.

By allowing myself to create this way, I continue to grow and this is what it is all about!

What is your process of creating? Feel free to share your ways :)
