Do you ever feel like you’re in such a rut that you want to step out of your body and yell at yourself?

forngrekisk_vilsoffa_ur_nordisk_familjebok.pngGretch and I had one of those weekends where we had very ambitious and interesting plans (go see the new stuff at the museum, jam out with friends at 1 am in the South Side, solve the world’s hunger problem, etc.), but ended up spending a lot of time on the couch watching re-runs. Our living room became an energy, creativity, and ultimately time vacuum, and we were helpless to do anything about it.

Why is it so hard to try new things? And why does it always seem like everyone else in the world has no problem at all with it?

Last night, after thoroughly exclaiming how much we suck, we decided that the only way to defeat our living room is to attack it head on. Instead of making it the most inviting room, and our office the least, we’re going to spend tonight rearranging. The couch, TV, and other comfy accouterments are going into the cold and loud (thanks to our upstairs neighbor) front room, and our desks and craft equipment is going into the former time vortex. Then, instead of automatically plopping on the couch and vegging when we get home, we’ll look around and see all the interesting stuff we can occupy ourselves with.

I’ve also been a big believer that craftiness and creativity loves company, so if anyone out there wants to get together and get the creative juices flowing (or maybe break out of your comfort zone a little by meeting new people), hit us up!
