So where does one start on the first of January?
My mind has been buzzing with ideas and an urge to find a purpose. I'm stuck in my life at the moment and is dying to move forward. I'm not talking "What's the purpose of life?" more "What can I do with my life?" I'm a mother, I'm married, we have a house, plenty of pets, a garden and so forth, in short: I have all that one could want but.... Here's the kicker, I'm home with a burn out and have been for almost a year now, there's no expiration date to my condition and I do not know when my brain is going to start working again, when my body is going to stop being exhausted all the time and when I can actually go into a room and remember why I went in there.
State your strengths:
I am creative, love second hand items, upcycling and recycling
So how do I use that to its best? Someone (several people actually) told me to do what I'm good at. That's hard because I don't think that field is hiring, if it's even a job description.
I love sewing and giving preloved clothes a new life, we're all different, in shape, size, colour and so on so why think that a manufactured piece of clothing fits all? Not to mention style and taste, your clothes are your first words to the world around you, it's the first thing people see when you come into vision, before they see your face, hair, eyes and hear your voice and opinions.
So that's going to be my project to get better, to heal myself and more importantly find myself. Here goes: Altered Up Creations is my take on upcycling clothes with a touch of Mori Kei.
Bente over and out
