SF: BRAND NEW!

A new year! Hooray! And it is a big one for me and my husband with a whole ton of newness along the way. I am looking forward to it and can't wait!
Last year had a very bad start hitting the bottom right in the beginning and it stayed an extremely bumpy ride with dead ends all over the place no matter what I tried which was extremely frustrating. And then things took an extremely positive turn towards the end of the year resulting in a miracle that continues to grow inside my belly.

These days everything is and feels new on my brand new journey to motherhood. It is also brand new that my arty energies came to a full standstill and my desk is collecting dust because I haven't used it in months now. It's something that hasn't happened to me like this before ever. The landscape in our condo will change over the next months since our place here is small and my desk will become the office/Mac desk (not sure yet how much space will be left for my oil pastels).
It is also new for me that I don't even think of anything art related at all. Usually I'd always have all kinds of ideas swirling through my head, thinking about art but not these days, even that has come to a standstill which I find quite fascinating. It feels quite bizarre really because I couldn't care less about it. Are there any mothers out there who experienced the same thing I wonder? So there is no photo of anything new artsy to show to you unfortunately. Even the wall hanging squares...I'm still dragging my feet to pick up thread and needle.

And all those things that were so bugging and frustrating the heck out of me last year, all those bumps in the road, seem very unimportant by now. The horizon is widening slowly as I travel through my pregnancy which is going extremely well!!

Hey Tine!! I am so glad that you are well! I am so so happy for you and your husband - a truly exciting project and easy to understand why you cannot focus on anything else- all your creative juices are going to the bump!! Perhaps the babe will come out with a paintbrush instead of a silver spoon, in it's mouth! I promise to email soon!!

HI Tine, good to hear you are doing good. Wait, after birth the creativity comes back in full blast ;) Have a nice day, greetings, Anke

But of course, that explains a lot and feels natural, maybe even expected? Anyway, I'm sooooo glad for you and your husband! Congratulations in advance and take it easy and rest a lot now. Soon you'll have a pettit artist to do doodle birds with and for!

So you see there is a reason for everything! Now you know why you were feeling so lethargic. I found after baby was born my art had a new lease on life.Once an artist always an artist. You might find the new focus changes your direction but I'm sure you will be back creating art with verve. I am so happy for you!!!

Tine, I am so glad to be meeting you and, thanks to Cookie, will be participting in the Friday festivities. When your body is so busy creating a baby, your spirit is also busy creating a Mother. Don't be surprised or alarmed when the other creative energies are feeling like they are on hold. They are! You will emerge with even greater creativity. Count on it.
