Me Made May...

...or...do something everyday that scares you.

Lately I have been frazzled, overwhelmed, and frustrated. That is not somewhere I enjoy being.

After much soul-searching and talking to my Trusted Two I have realized, once again, that I am not the only person that gets stuck in that funky rut.

Do you ever feel like this? Any of this sound like you?

The creative mind is a glorious thing. It is also trying at times. I feel a compulsion to make things. A need. I see potential every where. I buy more than I will ever use.

Once in a while, I get into the zone and things just flow. Of course those are my favorite times. Sometimes I feel I am trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

I find I would be quite happy to be the shopper, designer, and even the model as long as Alana is my photographer. I would love to have someone else bring my visions to life and to fit them to my shape.

And...some days I write and things flow wonderfully together and sometimes, well, sometimes it is just choppy.

The decision to sew my own wardrobe has been a long time coming. It is exhilarating, frustrating, glorious, and fun. Wearing it is all of those things and more. Scary even.

During the month of May Zoe Edwards of So, Zo...what do you know? hosts a social media event called Me Made May where participants write and pledge their own challenge that will ultimately grow their relationship with their homemade wardrobe. You can read about it here or by clicking the info on the right of this page.

I am in! This will be good for me. It is scary but I am always down to figure out what makes me tick.

Phyllis Williams said...I, Phyllis of Who Gives A Sheet, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '18. I endeavour to determine the holes in my wardrobe, finish my UFO's, and to discuss this challenge and how it affects my life at my blog during the month of May 2018.1 May 2018 at 15:41

Yesterday I went to lunch with my daughter, Alana, who is so gloriously supportive of me wearing my truth. This is a shirt I cut off, my favorite Zelda, a linen shift dress with an amazing scallop edge, and my orange Plinkas. Fun!

What are you doing that is fun or scarey today?


Yours,
