Just got back from a visit to Knoxville to see some of our Framily. Which is our Friends/Family who are most important to us. (Think of the honorary "Aunts and Uncles" that you grew up with that were family friends.)
So we spent this great weekend in Knoxville and visited Ijams nature center which is beautiful in the fall. Also spent time with some friends who recently had their home on the Historic Homes Tour through Knoxville. Spending time in their home really inspired me. Erin is an artist and their home is filled with things they love. Trinkets and photos. Art from friends, medals and paintings and things they have created. Thrift store furniture they have refinished, sanded and placed in the perfect place. The colors of their home are rich and deep and homey and welcoming.
It reminded me that I have put my art on the back burner and what better way to get back to me then to fill our home with creativity?? Fill our home with things we love. Trinkets and collections and photos and quirky things that only I would have.
So feeling this inspired got me started on several projects which I will eventually take photos of for you all to enjoy. Some framed pieces, some nice photographs, a vase filled with fabric and twine flowers and butterflies. Just things of beauty and things I like and I create.
So nice to be inspired again. I don't remember the last time I was so motivated and just felt so peaceful about getting some projects done. I LOVE this new outlook. You should all try to remember what inspires you, what makes you tick what makes you happy. It is so easy to just get caught up in life and the things you HAVE to do and forget to do the things you WANT to do. If it's good enough for me...
