I have found that the best thing I can do to get back into my creative and motivated state is to make things. for me its cooking that gets me inspired to sew or get into clay. I dont know what it is about making fod from scratch that moves me but it make me relax and get inspired. My kitchen is my favorite room in my house. it always has been.

So I am now trying to get back into my creative mode after taking such a long break for family visits and all. I decided that today it was time to finaly make some pumpkin stuff (yes from my november pumpkins they are suprisingly still OK). I started with roasting seeds

“ashleigh makes quilts”. I want to take a mandarin chinese class and relearn what I have forgotten. plus learn how to write. I just dont know when I can take the time to devote to something like that. maybe this summer I can enroll at SSU and just take one class every so often. the only problem I see is that I used to understand mandarin and speak some but with out using it you lose it. so will I relearn it only to lose it again?
