Wanderlust 2017 Wk7 & Course Chat

Hello again my loves! It has been a long time since I last did a class in Wanderlust 2017. I got to week 7 back in February and for some reason got stuck. I am the kind of person that although lives and breathes randomness, also needs order and structure. (I know I am a walking contradiction!) So, I left it. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't get the hang of painting that way and it gave me a bit of a blockage. I could have just skipped the lesson but I felt kinda paralysed about it. In my last post I shared about 'Sezzing' my art table in my new studio and how it has helped me to create more, well it spurred me on! I had a word with myself, which as it happens, occurs daily, that I should just get it done. Not perfect, just done. So I did.

I looked though the practice sheets I had done and practiced a bit more. The photo above shows the final result. It is not great but it's done. I can hopefully move onto the next class before the end of 2017.

I know it is very unrealistic that I will complete WL2017 by the new year so I will just plod on! I have signed up for WL2018 and also Jot 2018. I will finish Journal 52 which I have now caught up with and I'll post the last 3 weeks together. I've knocked MiniMoleyDaily and Café Cards on the head, as I got so behind with them I'd never catch up!

I have also started Creative Recovery with Suzi Blu, which started this month. Not sure I'll share that as it's a course for overcoming personal issues.

Do you sign up for more than you can actually do?

I thought that if I kept myself busy with courses, I'd have less time to spend on acknowledging being ill. Unfortunately, due to my illnesses, I found I couldn't keep up with it all, especially if I needed rest days or had a flare up. Which in turn, made me feel worse!  I'm still working on pacing myself... Note to self: No more courses Sez.... at least until all of these are finished!

I know I took on too many courses this year, probably enough to last me a good 5 years, but they are there for me to do as and when. See there's always a positive! 😊

Thanks so much for visiting! I do appreciate it.

Much love
