So, I was going to use a line I use far too often, “I'm back babydolls” as the creative title to this post but then I went to log in, and found my last post, from September 2017 had the same creative title, so if nothing else I get points for consistency.

Over the past few years my creative has been stretched and expanded, one of the many side effects of ADHD is that we are really good at trying all the different things, and I am falling into a sense of what inspires me, and it is that of function art.

By that I mean, beautiful everyday objects.

Rather than creating something to be admired and saved for a special occasion, I am interested in creating something I use, that makes my everyday brighter.

Recently that has meant sewing clothes, but it has also taken me into the realm of wood carving. These things make me happy when I put them on or use them, I know I made it, that it is special and it is meant to be used.

As I fill the hours of lockdown I am trying to figure out how to inspire myself, and that is going to include finding ways to share more on this blog. To use my words to share my vision and learning. I am not guaranteeing anything, but I am working on being more present with my own work and finding a way to document the learning, as an educator that is something I need to get better at anyway.

What you can expect form this space is my making, but also my own documentation of my learning.

And in that spirit -
