My daughter started a fresh school year today! Very proud but also very (maybe I’m selfish and I do feel guilty!!) relieved. I’m pumped to be back in the bench and spending the morning sorting the mess from the chaotic start and o the year stealing time to create in between trying to be a present parent over what feels like endless school holidays. I know I’ve said it before but I feel it’s a real tug-o-war between parenting and creating and I don’t do school holidays well. Although I think it’s getting easier each year. My family puts up with my crazy driven creative times when I’m on a roll and can’t be dragged from the studio, I don’t know what I would do without them! So I’m sorting and cleaning every drill and bur and every tool and putting it back in its place (rare?) so I can get motivated and blow it all up again???⛓yesssssss!!!!!! #backtowork
