I've been wanting to make some wall art for my bedroom for a few months but haven't been able to make time until now. Tomorrow I have the rare day of no work or school. Phew! So I plan on making some pretties for my walls. I've needed to do some alterations to a few pieces of clothing too, so maybe I can fit that in and whip up a tutorial for next week : )
In complete other news, my house was broken into a couple weekends ago. Nothing noticeable was stolen but things were definitely gone through and thrown around. It turns out two escaped inmates were the ones who had done it (investigators found them and say they stopped at our place to find clothes to change into), and were also the guys who killed an older woman only a few hours later. I initially felt so thankful that me and my roommate weren't home..but really, I don't know. Maybe that old lady wouldn't have been murdered had I been there when they broke into our home (this is the reason why I own and regularly practice shooting my gun). An innocent person might not have been killed. It's so overwhelming to think about.
If we're being honest here (which we pretty much always are), I feel like I can't get a break these days. On my way home from work tonight I had about five minutes of crying where I completely let myself have a pity party, and now I'm ready to keep going. I've kind of been struggling over the past month, but the positive feelings and productivity have finally come back to me (in like, full force), so now all I have to do is keep up the momentum. That's a lot easier than starting from scratch, right? I know I only just mentioned this book a few days ago, but my daily reading of Jesus Calling has really helped strengthen my faith in believing that things happen for a reason and that I'm never left alone with whatever I'm facing. That's so comforting to me.
You know, so it's all good!

Hey lady, don't feel bad about taking those five minutes to feel sorry for yourself or whatever. It is okay to cry. I feel like society or our own selves don't allow ourselves to actually feel those emotions and suppressing it is just not good either. It's like we feel crappy and then we feel crappier because we're not allowed to feel that way. We need to feel it and then move on. If that takes a five minute pity party, that's okay. If that takes a whole day to yourself, that's okay too. It's okay to feel that way. I just wanted to let that out. I'm so happy that you're moving past that though and the positivity & creativity is coming back to you :) big hugs! &stay safe!

It sounds like you've been having an overwhelming time lately! Sometimes you just need to sit back and have a cry, have a breathe, then it makes it so much easier to carry on.
That's pretty scary about the guys breaking into your house. I can imagine it shook you up to find out what they'd later gone and done.
I hope this new boost of productivity and positivity stays with you!
Wow, that is f*cking scary that they were in your place. I don't even know what to say, I'm just shocked. A few years ago when we moved out of our house and it was empty, someone broke in and stole the copper piping in the basement. My husband actually walked in on the guy while he was doing it! My husband did NOT have his gun on him at the time, and because of that the guy got away before the police got there. We were so mad that he got away with the crime. I am glad you are safe! AND it's okay to cry. It happens. You are going through a lot and need to let it out. It's not good to hold everything in. :) Have fun making your art!
