Art Museum/Dazzle Jazz club

Yesterday was fantastic! I had my first girls day out with 4 other women in about 10 years. I've never been one to have alot of women as friends, and thus the whole ritual of "girls night out" has been a rare occurrence. Yesterday was the exception to the rule in all categories! We went to Dazzle in down town Denver - I HIGHLY recommend it! We went to the brunch, and the food was fantastic, the music was enchanting. The din of talking customers was a tad on the noisy side, and the wine was flowing freely by the time we got there at several tables so of course they got louder. I suggest if a trip is planned, prepare to clap after every song - the musicians need to know the crowd appreciates their art! FYI - make reservations - it's a very popular spot!! So after we were stuffed to the gills with fresh raspberries, cream brullie (sp??), fresh omelets, spicy Cajun fish, cheesy grits and an array of mouth watering delectable's - we walked the 4 blocks to the Art Museum. Floors and floors of art awaited our pleasure of meeting. The fee for entrance was only $10 for the Museum - and worth every penny. By the time I walked out I was on sensory overload and inspired to create. I came home and started playing with my clay. I'm making one of those cool fairy doors you see in stores - but I'm personalizing it. I'm still designing it so that it will stand on it's own. I'm using polymer clay and will post a picture of it when I get it finished. On the way home I created a neat idea for polymer pendants that I'm going to attempt to see how they turn out.

A couple of things I learned on my Artist outing/girls day:
1. carpooling is awesome
2. bring at least $50 in cash - don't expect to use plastic
3. have fun!

I hope that everyone gets a chance to go out and play this week = have fun, do something different and find little joys in life that create wonderful memories!!

The house is quiet. It is strange still not having my kids full time. I thought I would find myself endlessly creating with wild abandon. That hasn't been the case. In fact most of the time I spend the time reflecting on what makes me tick. I have told my therapist I am my own best subject - I honestly mean it. I have turned my life inside out and backwards in my mind in the attempt to seek a healthy mentality. My life isn't that different from most people - we all have our trials and our tribulations. We all face challenges in a myriad of ways and live the life we've been given in the ways we see fit. What I'm finding as the days pass and I get used to being on my own is that creativity still runs through my veins as strongly as ever. It is presenting itself in different ways though. I write alot more, I've reinvented my wardrobe, My arrangements are getting better and quicker. My jewelry is taking on a whole new flavor, and I have a collection of sh...

New Life

So much has changed since my last post, and yet in a way nothing has changed. I am still seeking balance within myself. I am still trying to figure out what life and living is. The one answer I have found to be true is that I wasn't being true to myself. Due to that real failing towards myself I couldn't be much for anyone else around me. The past couple of months I have made tough decisions for the betterment of all. Some have called those decisions selfish - but if they had walked in my shoes and saw and felt what I felt they may or may not have made the same decisions. I don't posses any mind other than my own - and therefore cannot make any decisions beyond those I feel are the best for myself and my children at the time the decision is made. As a result of those decisions I sit in my own place, an apartment I now call home filled with light and color. There has been a series of emotional battles fought upon these floors - all within my own mind and heart. At f...

The quest for monies took all my minutes and brain powers this last week.  January quest was stopped at drawing #9. Quest complete - but not completed. Now on to the next quest!  (can't stop the momentum - just need to keep showing up to the canvas) February is a sketchbook diary - something I have wanted to try for awhile now. I am three days into February and just starting - so behind but not behind.  Just need to get my journal set up for three pictures at least and keep going.  I will post pictures here as well as my Instagram account which can be found here:  https://www.instagram.com/tina.nordloh/ The day is almost half over - time to get my journal going :D
