My main goal for the year is re-immersing myself in my love for textiles. For the last 8 years after graduating college my creativity felt distant and I had a lot of personal journeys to take and things to work through on myself. Now years later I feel more stable and at peace and comfortable with myself than I ever have in my life. Reading through old posts on here from my early twenties I’m like wow she is so lost and just hurting herself. But now so much of that has cleared and there’s finally space for creation and creativity again. Last year I’d been making an effort to do small creative things, like make handmade cards to sell at my job and other things like that just for fun with no pressure to help ease back into making. Joined a ceramics studio for a few months (that studio sucked but it was at least fun to throw again for a bit) and took one 5 week textile class w a friend. Mended holes in clothes by hand. It helped re-spark the joy of the process and now I’m more inspired and ready to create than I have been in almost a decade. I’ve always wanted to make quilts but have a hard time w the sewing machine so I’m going to challenge myself to try to make one. Or at the very least get more comfortable with sewing. And the textile class made me remember how much I absolutely love weaving, so I’m going to start that again too. I think I will update my progress on here! I’m so excited!
