Today I say once again, step into my rainbow salon, where we are not afraid of color, and not afraid to take creative risks….which is the foundation of all creative genius. You my friends are the tribe of creative savants, and our business has grown and thrived upon your healthy thirst for vibrant hues and visionary design. As we start a new year full of hope and innovative productivity, I dare you to take a deep dive into the fertile waters of Unexpected Color, and see where it leads you!
Have you charted a course for your own creative path in 2023?
I have found that writing down my creative goals once a year, helps to manifest those goals 12 months later. You can do it at the New Year, you can do it on your birthday, but please do take the time to write down the things you dream of accomplishing with your art and craft in the coming months. Then make it an annual ritual to review those goals one year later, mark your targets obtained, and re-focus for the next year. You will be amazed at how much you will accomplish on this list!
I have a dear friend (a lifelong artist) who used to get flustered with me because I had too many goals on that page. “You’ll never achieve them all!” she would complain. Then I pointed out this fact: If I make 3 goals, I accomplish 2 of them. If I make 10 goals, I accomplish 5 or 6 of them. That’s what works for me. I spend the whole year re-prioritizing, depending on the little roadblocks that life throws in my way, like….you know…a pandemic.
But that’s just me. You will have your own architecture for how to build a plan for 2023. I just urge you to do it now. Do it this week. Tack it up on the wall in your workspace, and see what happens.
It is always an honor and privilege to be part of your creative explorations each year.
Now let’s toast the New Year, put on our goggles, and get back to flying our sewing machines!
Sharing your love of fabric,
Luana and Paul
