Nesting is an awesome symptom of pregnancy. It is an undeniable need to feather your nest per say. Clean the house, organize, decorate at a maniacal rate, and you can not stop it or control it. Nesting is the last ditch effort to get everything in order before the baby comes, and I guess for some it comes at different stages in the pregnancy. During my last pregnancy it came and went throughout the entire gestation and then it was in full force at the very end. Big as a house and completely enraptured with putting things in order, cleaning, cooking, and making lists of even more things that HAD TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS BABY COMES! But now that baby is nearly eight months old and I find myself having a relapse, only this time it is an artistic nesting thing that I've got going on. All hours of every day I want to create, photographs, painting, I want to learn to sew, and make more fabric pictures. Paper crafts, photo collages, build furniture, redo the kitchen, the list goes on and on. Never far from a notepad, I try to write down all of these ideas that are pouring out of my brain. I don't want to forget a single one, and at some point maybe I can complete each one. The need to create is unstoppable and I don't want it to stop. I can't take in enough information, new ideas, tips, creative writing. And
etsy, dear sweet etsy, is like food for my soul. All of these beautiful things, loving created by all of these amazing artists only add to my inspiration. I want to write more, read more, and continue to decorate my home in the all of the beautiful layers of our life. Whatever I do I don't want to lose this creative momentum!!! Gotta go now,
some beautiful butterflies just came so I can finish MG's birthday party favors!
