Starting Over

     I have completely dropped my blog.  I became frustrated with my computer issues and with other things going on with life, it just didn't seem like a priority.  I am going to try again because when I was having to post on the blog I was involved more in my artistic and creative endeavors.  Most of them have fallen by the wayside as well. 

     I started after reading a book, surprise, surprise.  The premise of the book was to do something artistic or creative on a daily basis and document it.  Being me, I took it a bit too seriously.  The gentleman who wrote the book had a single focus.  He created a skull from some king of material everyday.  If I had a single focus that would be easier, but that just seems boring.  I know what you're thinking!  What about dogs, Jeanette?  You love dogs!  True, I do.  However, I am no where near talented enough to create a dog out various materials.  Can I sketch one?  Yes, but it's hard.  I did try to make a dog's head in a pottery class once.  It ended up being a jalapeno pepper.  That should give you an idea of where my other artistic abilities lie. So, the plan is to do something creative maybe once a week, rather than everyday, and it will not have to be a major production EVERY time such as quilted table runner or painting.  Maybe I will just post a recipe that I created or an idea.  Even if an idea doesn't always come to fruition, doesn't mean it isn't creative.  I have had great creative ideas ignored by administrators many times.
