My mind was gone for a very while from this blog. I am so sorry that I didn’t try at all.
This summer was a different one from other 40± ones. I was deeply depressed. I cried a lot.
Now, thanks to many prayers from my friends, I feel better. I think I can do something. Maybe not a big one, but small ones which God wants me to do now, as a mom, as a wife, as a daughter, as a sister, and as a friend. Let’s wait till God speaks to me. Let’s wait till God shows to me.
These are the things I tried to get away from the depressed mind this summer. When I was doing these stuff, I felt better because my mind was focusing on something else than myself and pain.
First, I bought piles of vintage music sheets from the craigslist and also bought several old books from the local library at 50cents a each. I have a plan to make art with those old book pages, especially greeting cards. Oh! I already made one thank-you card for my youngest one’s youth pastor. It has been more than 10 years to make handmade card.
Secondly, I sewed 2 tops and 4 dresses for the first time in my life. I was inspired by one lady from Italy at Etsy. Her simple clothings caught my heart and made me think that I could sew my own. I also bought 4 of Japanese style dress making books. Those books are like my baby books which I look at again and again every day. The simplicity of the dresses calm down my mind somehow.
Thirdly, I tried typography arts. I made a couple. They are in water color and acrylic paint.
In the couple of next posts, I want to share what I made this summer with you.
This summer is almost gone and now I can smell the scent of autumn.
In the fall, I want to try to keep the color of the fall. Maybe in the film(digitally), in the water color, or in the acrylic paints. Also, I will try to keep up with refurbishing furniture.
Most of all, I will try to do small things well, which God wants me to do now, Love.
