I need inspiration

Last night was frustrating. My daughter and school do not get along. I mean the classroom is not an environment where my daughter learns. More on that later. Anyway today I was left with a feeling of desperation and defeat. It helped to phone her teacher and vent a bit. Hopefully I will receive an answer this afternoon as to when the Board's assessment specialist will get to see her and get to the root of the problem. It also helped to talk with my mom and my husband who missed the whole episode last night.

So I got out on my bike (considered not doing it until I listened to a CBC radio report which noted that you can't take care of others unless you care for your own needs first). Deep breath. I struggled through 2 Lees Rds. I am feeling a little better mentally and fatigued physically but overall my mood is improving.

So, last night I did get my beads out for the first time in almost two months and began to sketch out two art dolls for Nervousness. I got about 1/2 of the wire frame for one doll complete before I had to quit and deal with Lina but I got it started none the less.

So, in order to hold on to creativity I did something I do when I am in the need of inspiration. I did a random search on the Google Images. What I do is type in a random interest such as "whimsy" and see what I get and begin my search that way. Sometimes I use the language tools and search in other languages too. Today I search "knit bags" and came accross what I guess is a Korean (?) online knit school.

Some really cute knit and crochet ideas including the bag below. This one goes in my idea file.
