August Moon 14: Days 11 to 15

The August Moon project by Kat Mcnally has come to an end. I will miss the daily prompts!

In a true "Happysnappy" way, let me answer the last prompts with photographs. :)

Day 11: What is the perfect space for you?

Home
Our house was a love at first sight. I couldn´t believe someone would actually sell this beauty. I don´t usually buy/ask for things for myself but this one was: "I-want-that-house" No matter if we had to eat rice for the following ten years. It was meant to be mine. My home.

Btw, it didn´t look that way when we bought it. The cheerful yellow was my idea. :D The white doors my husband´s. We are a good team.

Day 12: What do people thank you for?

I am a born cheerleader. :D

A couple of examples from the past two months.





Day 13: What are the stories that limit you?

This one's a downer, I know. I'm sorry.  But it seems that we all have these stories. 
Is it ok with you if I keep this one private? Yes? Thanks my dear. :)

Day 14: How will you start the journey?

In the past few years I´ve discovered my crash and burn creative cycle. I start by having an efervescent idea which grows and grows and branches out. Suddenly I stop and have this "deer in the headlights" look, paralized by the sheer hughness of the tasks ahead. Then run around like a headless chicken and finally bow my head and get the job done. 
I always start by a written out map which I turn into lists:
which I schedule in my planners: 


Day 15: What if there was no need to wait until you're "perfectly formed"?

In that case I will tell you my website will be launching on my 9th bloggaversary: September 21st.
There, I´ve said it. Now off to work on it! :D

Kat will be giving writing prompts again in December for #reverb14. I will take part in that one too. For now go visit her at I saw you dancing. Thank you Kat! :)

As I told you in #12 I´m a born cheerleader and I want to cheer YOU on, so What if there was no need to wait until you're "perfectly formed"? What is that project you hold dear but haven´t shown the world yet?

  2. I really liked this post, it was a great way to get to know a lot about you. And you are certainly right- everyone has bad moments sometimes, and it can be better not to share and not to dwell on those!

  10. Wow what a question. I don't know how to answer that. I guess I would do what I'm doing now...but hopefully make more money at it and stay a little bit more organized doing it. Blogging, doing my projects and being a mom. I guess I am fully formed.

    Anyway, love the yellow!!

  12. I love reading blog posts from creative individuals. Makes me happy to see how many artists are out there making life colorful and divergent for others to experience. I have markers all over the place too. It's like they can't ever be super organized. They just need to be used! Thank you for sharing!

  18. Perfection is only a perception, not a state of being. You will never be perfectly formed but your journey to chase it is perfect in itself.

  23. Beautiful house! I remember years ago I came across a house that I just wanted to live in. Sadly it wasn't possible because they wanted to sell and not rent and I didn't have the means at the time (I was studying in the University). But it still remains as the model for my dream house.
