Creativity Lost

So, I know it's midweek.

And I never usually blog at this time.

But, I'm feeling creative.
Or feeling the need to be creative.

I have always been a little artsy.  Painting, drawing, writing, scrapping, dancing, something.  From an early age until just before we started having kids, I was able to use my creative side.  Then work, kids, and school, took over and my artsyness took a back burner in my life. 

Now that I have a little (notice the word LITTLE) time here and there, I'm feeling that my artsy/creative soul needs to be filled up.  Like NOW.

But here's my problem. 

One--what do I do?? And, yes that's a BIG question.  I've thought about jewelry making (my mom even bought me a book) or crocheting (I still need help figuring this out).  But I feel that I need some help from others to truly even start those creative activities.  Or even sewing or quilting--but like I said before--I need HELP in those areas. 

Two--I need something that can be picked up or put down easily.  With two little ones running around or not sleeping, I need something that doesn't HAVE to be done right away.

Three--Something on a budget.  Can't be too pricey right now.  Funds are tight.  I mean, I'm not broke.  I do get a weekly allowance that gives me a little cash for the week.  But I don't want to go overboard on anything--at least right now.

Four--I want to do something that represents me.  Something that signifies who I am and comes somewhat naturally. HA!

Yeah, so I think I need to start brainstorming.  But not exactly sure how I will pick what I'd like to do.  Do I just try them all and find the one that "fits" me better?  Or go with my gut?

I'm lost.  And I've lost my creative side.  And I've lost my mind.

And that's the gist of what's on my mind today (besides the fact that it took 45 minutes to get BOTH my kids down for a nap today!).

Well, I better start making my list before the kids get up.  30 minutes to spare before one starts crying out my name. 

Oh and any suggestions or help would be appreciated:o)

Thanks!
Mrs. Newell
