October Mother- A year into it




On my mind:

Idle drawing and sketching
Visiting and making plans with friends
Organizing my garage, redesigning it to a playroom and studio
Cooking healthy lunches
Visiting new cafes

So artistically, I would like to:
Paint flash cards of things
Paint the heartpeople and come up with a story concept to submit the idea to a children’s book publisher
Develop the recipe cards in to a cookbook and send a query letter to a publisher. First find the publisher
Create a line of stationery
Become a baker
Redo my website
Cook amazing things
Crochet
Send promos out of a piece of art, which piece and see if I can get more work
Paint my kattuba
Paint the pictures for the tea book, and submit the idea to a publisher, find what publisher and send a query, a mock up book, and a color piece
Send the heartperple book idea, May you, or change the characters to something more recognizable, which is what the teacher said, and submit that. But first make a mock up
Develop the heartpeople, illustration wise
Paint a picture from a magazine image or story that inspires me
Create some recipe cards for the moms club newsletter
Read some new books to up the intellectual side
Be a better mother; or rather learn about how I can be a better mother
Give my little lovely all the love I can give
Give Juliet a mom that is happy and satisfied, and that is taking care of herself
Update a blog
Assemble, upload, and order photos


So many things, no wonder I am making myself crazy. How could I possible do all that is listed above? There is no way.

So how can I make myself satisfied creatively, and be a present mom and wife and friend, and daughter, and sister. Clear the plate. How can I feel good about my self and my life and be simple? I can do it.

There is a pressure to be using my skills, but I am a new mom, a year into it. There is no way to satisfy my list. How about create from what inspires me at the moment, no pressure.

To be a great mom, prepare and make healthy food, and bake homemade gifts. I want to be different. Courageous. A woman satisfied, and knowing what works. What creates a cloud, a storm. Clear the clouds from what could be a clear day.
