In 2011 I posted a list of My 2011 Crafting Resolutions. It's almost 2021 and I wonder, "Should MAKERS even Make Resolutions for 2021? Hmmmm...
Well one thing has not changed through this past year is the deep desire to create. Making, crafting is simply an integral key, a part of my life, who I am. Interestingly my grown son shared with me that a memory from his Christmas growing up was "making/creating" It seems that creating as part of our gifting brings fond memories of what Christmas means to him.
One thing about having so many creative ideas is that it often leaves in its wake unfinished projects, which in the past had led to crafting resolutions. Unfortunately like resolutions for the New Year in general, those lists of resolutions rarely make it past the first few weeks. Oh dear, what to do, what to do?
After all my thinking, ruminating and mixed feelings I come back to the concept of "One Word" and as it applies to Makers.
In preparation for this NEW YEAR my word in LIFE will be "Transformation"
How will that play out as a "Maker"?
I want to focus on enjoying the process, letting the moments I spend creating/making bring transformation to my soul. Instead of list making and checking off boxes I prefer to experience that moment where there is a quiet shift into that right-brained
zone where time slips away and creativity just happens.
As for all those unfinished projects...perhaps it is time to just "Let it go, Let it go!"
Inspiration is a mysterious thing, sometimes the decision to just let it go sparks the flame to completion.
