CREATE WITH ABANDON

Hey-ho!

Before any of you start to think that I have, indeed, lost what was left of my Mad Woman in the Attic mind,

(especially my poor Sisters over at Facebook Sisterhood of the Goat, who have had to endure my creations with little or no explanation...!) let me just say:

ALL HAIL THE DUBSTEP GOAT!

Hmm.  I suppose that didn't quite clear things up, did it?  ;)

Ok....I'll try.......

A few days ago, a REAL TOADS writing challenge, which didn't exactly interest me due to the *modern* nature of the challenge, ended up striking me in this amazing and incredible way.

I wouldn't have thought that I would take the time to produce something so brightly colored and out of my sepia vintage box let alone write about it.  I'm an antique kinda girl and worship the tattered lace 

and musty smells of The Old Ones.  And I like it that way.

But I'm on vacation so I thought I'd give it a go.

What I found was this:

Stepping out of your well worn and well loved  creative space and diving head long

 into a project you have zero understanding of will bestow upon you this amazing

 SHOCK of creativity you didn't know you had!

Really!

No right...no wrong...no worries........!

And since that initial challenge

I am SHOCKINGLY renewed!

So, with a bow to the Dubstep Goat

and eternal gratitude to REAL TOADS (really, really...I can't be thankful enough!)

I dub 2013 the year to 

CREATE WITH ABANDON!

Create something new...create something old....repurpose...wonder......try something odd....

TRUST yourself.....

revive your creative soul....

and dive headfirst into the SHOCKING and deep swirl of creative waters! 

(and then please, please share with me!)

Go forth and create!

Much love for a Happy and SHOCKING New Year!

love-

The Sisterhood of the Goat Creates (and shares!)

Imagine my surprise when I was called to the mail room to pick up a package addressed to me! Inside, I found the most beautiful gypsy tie vest, lovely wool & broach pin and dangly-legged skull pirate!

I can't being to describe the rich quality of this vest. Every quilted stitch is perfectly placed and the whole garment is surprisingly heavy with fabulous fabric. I feel so honored to be gifted with such a treasure.

My sincere thanks to my Goat Sister Sandy from Pa. who thought to bestow upon me such a magical work of art.  I will be wearing it as Violca Mirola, Sea Gypsy come storytelling this Autumn!

Blessings to you, Sandy. How wonderful that we became friends.
