This is my first blog post. The idea for this blog came to me out of the desire to make pretty things and share the knowledge; out of the determination to live beautifully, no matter of how the current economical situation affects us and how much money is available.
I am an artist and a designer who lost her joy of creating some time ago. My intention and hope is to rediscover and feel this joy again, on daily basis. By joy I mean those moments of total inner peace and contentment that I used to feel as a child, while making my compositions out of found objects or playing with colors.
We don't need much. Simple things make us happy. Like making a nice cup of Jasmin tea and serving it in a nice cup, with a slice of flour-free chocolate cake. OK, this might seem a little fussy to you, but if you have a little wheat intolerance, you will understand what I mean. Celebrating the present moment is what matters.
So, I am starting to write about my creative life and hope to connect with others who think along the same lines. I just had a little conversation about it with my partner and I asked him "Is blogging bragging?" I hope not.
I hope not too—-or we'll both be bragging. I love your blog idea. I, too, want to seek out that simple joy, the moments of magic you speak of in the simple things. I also want to finally finish my non-fiction book on healthy weight-loss—-but one thing at a time.
