Everything is Awesome! ...

This blog is dedicated to Lego and 'The Lego Movie' which I saw with Little Man today.  It really is awesome!  Lots of action and explosions to satisfy kids and adults alike with a lovely feel good ending!  Also features amongst others, the voice talents of Will Ferrell and Morgan Freeman - (in a Lego featurette his character Vertruvius boasts Morgan can even make reading the telephone directory sound interesting - and he's right!)  So check out YouTube for the featurette and the song - title is the same as my blogpost.  It's annoying, but also annoyingly catchy- Little Man and I have been singing it at anyone who will listen (and those who won't we just run after them and sing ...)

My treehouse ... I built it all by myself ... sometimes a mermaid lives there ...
And now ... an apology for not writing for so long :(  This year has been an emotional rollercoaster, without going into too much detail we've had a lot to deal with, compounded by the fact I started working again for 3 days a week back in February.  And I just can't get used to trying to still be a full-time mum, artistic person, employee and all round well-adjusted person in the same amount of time I had previous to working!  Not to say I don't enjoy working, I do.  I get to drive around and manage my own time and meet lots of interesting people, and I love the people I work with.  I'm just not so good at managing time at home and some things have fallen by the wayside, such as my blogging and creating. 

Looks like some kind of terrible Lego massacre - and yes that is my mermaid ...
But, tonight I had a call from my dad, who told me it wasn't good that I was letting work get in the way of doing the things I love and he's right.  I've still been taking pictures and thinking of ideas to share here, but when night-time comes, I just do my chores and fall into bed.  So, now I'm going to have a re-think and see how I can do things in the future; blogging may still be sketchy, but there must be some creative way for me to be able to work and do the things I love.  It's called having a balanced life - it must be possible!  Any ideas are welcome! :)

Catch you again soon xxxx  (And thanks Dad xxx)

I struggle with finding the balance just about every day. And creating often falls to the wayside. But it always returns to nag at me and demand its full complement of time.

Thanks for your lovely comments ladies! You are right, creativity doesn't just go away - it has an energy all of its own and won't stay quiet :) Thank goodness!
