It's a typical stereo-type isn't it? You walk into the artist's house and there is stuff everywhere... interesting stuff, but mess none-the-less!
It's not the stereo-type I ever wanted to fit into... I have well and truly taken on board my mother's obsession with cleaning and tidying and presenting an obscenely tidy house to the world as an example of SAHM competence.... Yeah, I tried it for a while... and went insane. I failed!
Creativity is much more important to me than a tidy home. If I get a rare few moments when I am not holding a baby or doing something for Tilly - then I will much rather do a quick type of my thoughts, sketch an idea, plan my creative business or look at a design magazine rather than tidy up! Aaarrgghh!
Yes my house is a mess! But I can handle the mess if it means I am slightly more sane, and able to spend a few extra moments being creative rather than tidying!
I loved your mess. It gives you something to look at, and I am the kind of person who is super-observant and always looking around, and doesn't miss much really.
ReplyDeleteYour kind of mess is my kind of mess, Lindy!! Not Brendan's though. I have the spare room with my mess in it. And I know where everything is in that mess.
By the way, something I noticed tucked up somewhere amongst your mess was a shell picture that looked like it spelt Thomas. The only reason I bring it up is to prove how observant I am!!!
Love you!
I wish you'd mentioned spotting the shell name! It was made for your Thomas - I have just never managed to get it to the postage stage... I think I made it around his birthday time which shows how severely slack I am with getting things out at the moment - URgggh! I'll aim to send it by Christmas!
