Inspiration comes slowly.
1 Comment For a long time now, I’ve been feeling very bored. Slowly getting into doing things around the house has brought out a little creativity, but there’s a lot of work to be done before the creative aspect starts.
For example, I want to get stuck into painting the kitchen and living room, and into making it a warmer and more inviting space to walk into. But part of this process is removing stubborn fucking wallpaper that refuses to budge. I’ve tried hot soapy water, and it worked for some of the process, but I’m going to have to hire a steamer to speed up the rest of the process because it’s just taking forever.
On a more mental and emotional level, I’m feeling less spiritual and ‘in touch’ than I used to. I used to find love, inspiration and wonder in the smallest things – now I find I’m far too busy to take notice. I can’t see the beauty in things any more. I feel like I’m so lost.
I’m hoping that, in the not-too-distant future, having a child will reopen my eyes to the wonder of the world – to be able to see again through a child’s eyes would be the most wonderous thing.
In the meantime, I’m going to have to start reminding myself to take note of the things around me.

If you have liquid fabric softener, use that with a scoring tool to remove the wallpaper. Works like a charm!
