I haven't been able to sleep lately. Well, I take that back, I haven't been able to - GET TO SLEEP EARLY - lately. Apparently my body thinks that sometime between 3am and 4am is the time to get to bed. And my mind thinks that the hours between 11pm and 3am is the time to get creative.
Something happens to me around 11pm. At that time, I'm able to reason that it's too late to do any kind of house work, cleaning, laundry or organizing. So as soon as the clock hits 11pm, a light switch goes off and I get a bug to "make something!"
This is not conducive to healthy sleeping habits, but it's conducive to being creative!
In the past week I've made 12 new pairs of earrings, 5 beaded bracelets, took pictures, and listed them all on my Etsy site! I also made 5 wine glass markers, and little "Bee Mine" Valentine's day ... "thingies" for lack of better word. (Finishing those up and taking photos of these "thingies" will be tonight's late night activity.)
Apparently the way I cope with missing my hubby is making things! So ... I'll just keep busy making things. But why is it that creative moments always seem to happen late at night. Is it just me? Or is it the bewitching hour for all artist and crafters? I don't know.
But I can't wait to see what happens tonight!
