artmaking and motherhood
I know there is a place for my gifts, my passions and desires in motherhood, but I'm not really sure where it is. I've been struggling for a year now to establish my own time sacred to the production of artmaking. I have an idea for a new series and I've even gotten a lot of materials but I just cannot seem to scrape together any time. I'm so incredibly frustrated. I believe firmly that this is where I should be and that I should be pursuing this, but I just cannot seem to get it together. The loss of my workspace last year was a big blow, with Jim's move into the basement and Daniel's move into the second bedroom. And I've spent a lot of time learning what it means to be a mother and caring for Daniel. (As it should be). I've also spent a lot of time and energy caring for my niece. And even more energy in trying to sort through this house. This is also the beginning steps to figuring out exactly where I can work. So here I sit, frustrated and with no real solution.
