Forced Creativity

In the early days of the pandemic, I forced my sons to take a walk at least once each day. The whole lockdown mentality made it tempting to lockdown on all levels and a required march around the neighborhood was my way of pushing back against the urge to do nothing.

Last week, I applied the same approach to my creative malaise and began forcing myself to make things.

The projects weren’t revolutionary and the things I made probably won’t last more than a season, but I added a little color to my living room and extended the life of a stretched out sweater headed for the landfill. More importantly, to me, I did something, so I thought I’d share.

  1. Clearly you did a LOT of “somethings,” Leah, and your decor changes fascinate me. Such a great and versatile gift you have in seeing the new life available to things that are ‘dead’ to others of us.

  2. You always amaze me… you bring out the beauty in broken, forgotten things and make the world brighter.
    What a gift you have! 💕❤️💕
