I had such plans for the blog today! But as I pondered my breakfast, I had some other ideas. I know I said I was going to outline what I learned from making the hexie quilt. Never fear! That day will come. But as I pondered the making of Egg(s) with a Hat, I started to feel....playful. As always, the Greek seasoning is included. I think I use this stuff on everything. Can I buy a barrel of it? I need a bigger container for sure.
At any rate, I became a little less, I don't know, focused on what I wanted my blog to be. I puttered around in the kitchen, rearranging some things, becoming reacquainted with my Aerobie Aeropress coffee maker, just stuff in general.

 |  A milk frother, tiny mugs and COFFEE! I love little mugs, demitasse cups, whatever you want to call them. By the way, do you like the little cup on the left? If you click on it, you should be able to see a bigger pic of it. When I realized what it probably was, I figured it is probably a collector's item! At least in someone's book, anyway. If I'm right, it's a relic of a more sophisticated time in travel. |
After my third tiny cup of espresso...well..."espresso like" beverage (you're probably never going to get a true espresso out of an Aerobie) I knew sitting down and being logical was just not happening today. Luckily for me, logic is not all there is to life. I looked at my to-do list, and saw one item that I at first deemed "frivolous" and considered deleting it. Then I thought, "no way!" Sometimes it's those "frivolous" things that get us through the day. And sometimes what seems "frivolous" on the surface is actually quite necessary.
Not that things are that bad for me right now. Actually, I am in quite a good position and I thank God heartily for that. But I have been having a kind of creative block lately. I can't seem to get color combinations right even after reading up on color theory and even buying Joen Wolfrom's 3-in-1 Color Tool which has, don't get me wrong, been incredibly useful, I just can't seem to get things together creatively lately. I think sometimes it's a matter of having too many options to play with rather than less. Sometimes if you force yourself to work with limited options it can release your creativity to solve problems. However, that's a subject for another day, I think.
Instead I think I'm just going to take time and do some "frivolous" playing around today. That's what all those things in the pic to the right are about...they all represent modes of play for me. Coloring, sewing, noodling around with Gimp or ArtRage on my computer, even making a spread in my BuJo or noodling with some other creative electronic device. Sometimes you just have to let your imagination go for a bit.
Therein you get the title of today's blog: The Power of Play. Take some time to play today!
