New Hobby?

29 Wednesday Feb 2012

So, as I mentioned earlier this week, I have a newfound love obsession with Pinterest. Well with that comes being inspired to try new crafts and new things I guess.

I have taken up painting. I use that term EXTREMELY loosely because I have not one artistic bone in my body. I can craft, I suppose and do things, but as far as having any talent what so ever, yeah, no. All that to say, I saw this adorable idea on Pinterest that had to do with thumb print hearts and well since 2012 is the year of love, I figured this would be a fun thing to try and take on.

I took myself, ok well my friend Liz took me, to Michaels one sunny freezing Saturday morning where I loaded up on a couple of canvases, some paint and a brush and some other necessary supplies, you know like mixing trays for when I try to make other colors outside of the primary ones. When I got home, I set out trying to come up with my own interpretation of what I saw on Pinterest and I must say I am pretty pleased with my results.  AND, I have discovered that putting brush and paint to canvas is surprisingly therapeutic. It felt good to create something and at that moment in time it healed a tiny bit of my soul.

I doubt that I will take painting classes or any art classes, but I have for now, found myself a new hobby and a great outlet. If only I could just not be so particular about things – after all it certainly doesn’t need to be perfect to be exactly what I need at this moment.

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Time for a change!

Thank goodness Northeastern is helping me get on the right track. Thank goodness for those crappy moments, even though at the time, they are really crappy. They help you to remember you deserve better from life and from people. And most of all, thank goodness for those that are a source of strength whether they know it or not, whether I am talking or not, just knowing you’re there…well thank goodness for that.

So, has anyone else become obsessed with Pinterest?

I have logged way too many minutes hours looking at this site, being inspired for art projects that I probably will never do, recipes that I will never make (because well, we all know how I am in the kitchen) and oohing and ahhing over these adorable animals (which is also weird for me).

On Pinterest, how I hate you, but LOVE you at the same time.

Finally!

Let what you love be what you do.

Northeastern University is my new work home. It feels good. Even better when I get to wander around a college campus and see the stereotypical college student dress and demeanor. 🙂
