Sneak Peek Friday


It is Friday!  
time to peek into each other's studios.
remember to visit Jennifer @ Studio JRU
(she has yet another gift for us today).  

As I was beating myself up for
an "unproductive" week others
 allowed me to recognize
the voice of the discourager.
These were the words
I shared,
the words meant for
myself:

a reminder about art...
it is not always about paint, fabric, pens, etc. 
It is about creating beauty 
wherever you are 
as you do what you do. 
My greatest lesson last year 
was that I want 
to make loving others art. 
So as you cook? 
clean? 
fold clean clothes? 
paint? 
sew? 
write? 
You are creating beauty. 
That is art. 
End of soap box. 



Will you share your art from this week?
Here or over at Studio JRU.

  3. Love your attitude Julie -- it's difficult not to get disappointed when something we try doesn't always turn out as we envision. It's the process. Thank you for the reminder.
