I </span><i style="color: #6600cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms";">knew that to make progress I needed to go back to micro-movements = a little but often. I discuss micro-movements <a href="https://lynettecollis.blogspot.com/2012/01/finding-time.html">here</a> </i><span style="color: #6600cc; font-family: trebuchet ms;"><i>but the essential point is that you use every 5-15 minutes you have to do just one step - gather your materials, arrange your work space, thread your machine, add a layer of paint, add a layer of collage, find the mask/stencil, add another layer of paint, cut out found words....The effect of the micro-movements idea is 2-fold. Firstly, 5 minutes here and there can quickly build to 1/2-1 hour in a day, which is 7 hours in a week....Secondly, if I feel in a bit of a creative slump, I can trick myself by saying "I'll only do this for 5 minutes" - often after that 5 minutes, I'm sucked in :-) Once you light the flame, it's going. </i></span></div><div><span style="color: #6600cc; font-family: trebuchet ms;"><i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_dQ-P8vyffX-id8IUK4rqUVXpidOeA4k6L8ejInRkCdimktZPWHPDKU0xziSmWQmUZORAWJhZKTa7MXhsrQx81eappdhERD8onLXbD0ORpW20JWZ4wsVkN13pMLi6uRHLeQ-_rybY76nu_jDZm2EnZGVlaYUILDDxxGyhLeaYvVgumDjZytOW8a8O25w/s3861/Art%207.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2510" data-original-width="3861" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_dQ-P8vyffX-id8IUK4rqUVXpidOeA4k6L8ejInRkCdimktZPWHPDKU0xziSmWQmUZORAWJhZKTa7MXhsrQx81eappdhERD8onLXbD0ORpW20JWZ4wsVkN13pMLi6uRHLeQ-_rybY76nu_jDZm2EnZGVlaYUILDDxxGyhLeaYvVgumDjZytOW8a8O25w/w400-h260/Art%207.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>This process worked with this project.

I am very lucky to work at a school so get good breaks and no longer have small children so I can be more flexible with my time.

I seem to be able to keep going with my stitched roll project - lovely to have something small and achievable each fortnight - and recently there was a special deal so I joined Wendy Solganik's <a href="https://willa-workshops.teachable.com/p/love-your-imperfect-letters">Love your imperfect letters</a> class which I am enjoying but there is a lot of ground work to do before it ends up in my journal. I am currently on school holidays so have been socialising with extended family and friends and getting some housework catch ups done (cleaning the oven, deadheading roses for final autumn flush), as well as some time for reading. All good stuff but there are only so many hours and we have to make choices. </span><span style="color: #6600cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms";">I sometimes feel despondent when I scroll on Instagram or FB and see others creating a lot.

I have a folder on my computer where I keep a record of what I'm creating, reading and watching each month. Creating this monthly review on my blog also helps. We can be so hard on ourselves and some of the stories we tell ourselves - "I'm not being very creative" - are just not true. I've addressed this topic a few times on my blog in the past. There's a good summary of my philosophy <a href="http://lynettecollis.blogspot.com/2017/02/shine-share.html">here</a> and I even have a link to all my posts on this topic if you want to explore more: <a href="http://lynettecollis.blogspot.com/search/label/Finding%20time%20to%20create">Finding time to create</a>.
