Life...

Sometimes I feel like my life gets in the way of my life.

I know I'm not alone in feeling that my "real" life is keeping me from succeeding at my "imagined" life!  Not that my real life is bad... quite the opposite, it's really great!  Full, busy, rewarding. I spend good chunks of time with my kids, who are growing up way too fast. I cook dinner and go on field trips and walk the dog. My days are full and busy and I have no complaints.
Except sometimes...to be honest...when I think of all the other things I would like to be doing that never seem to get done... ever. 
I have nothing to complain about, I know, it's just that I used to be a do-er. I got things done. I had lists and goals and was organized and everything was orderly. 
And then I had kids. And the order got lost somewhere. And the lists got longer and it all seemed so impossible. I lost faith in myself...
I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this way, I hope I'm not anyway.

My goal for the year is to just take one day at a time and get done what I can...
Studio days are glorious, and I look forward to them as a gift.  I would love to be in there every day, but in reality life gives me a couple of good days a week, so I make the most of it.

And so...here are a few pics of what I've been working on this month in the studio:
