i don't know why i can't sleep...

it's 11:30 at night and i've yet to sleep... i have so much work to do... and i haven't accomplished as much today as i wanted to... i made the rag doll i've been comissioned to do and then i decided to redo it cause i wasn't completely pleased...

i struggle with the part of my life that i will put on here... but being the open book that i am... i will just go ahead and lay it all out here for you... for arts sake... you should know the creator...

the last few days i've found that i am enjoying living alone... not the being alone... but the freedom i have to create... the creativity flows constantly... in and out of my body like water... its like i'm in a frenzy to create all that i can before my life gets put back together... i want it to be put back together and yet i want to hold on to some of this new Jen that i've found... this new me that really is the old me that somehow got lost in the chores of being the model wife...
the model wife that i failed at being...

not to be meloncholy or... too much... but it is part of my process right now i think...

and to me... process is most of the journey of making art

on a completely different note... here is a list of things i like

  1. looking for shooting stars
  2. the smell of fresh hay
  3. a big pile of blankets on my bed
  4. black kitties
  5. really cold cake... with really cold milk
  6. how my hands look after i've been painting
  7. country looking cottages
  8. warming myself by the wood burning stove
  9. cemetaries... old ones
  10. my husbands laugh...
