Creating a safe space in a space

I try to set aside time to create. But it is all about creating space right now so there is little time for reflective art making. It is a theme at work and home. Moving, packing organising reclaimed art materials and setting them up in the shed af work. Packing, organising and waiting to move office at work. Organising, sorting and setting up my studio in the recently renovated space at home. I am preparing,  I am creating spaces for the next phase. It is the end of my home time before I go back to work tomorrow so A and go to the studio to create a felt puzzle. It is the last task I have on my to do list for today. Once again I find our collaboration as my chance to be creative. I spend a moment telling myself to offer something else to the blog that has not been made with my child but I silence this voice. The felt picture captures my attention again and again. It sits on the floor of my living room. In the middle it has a sign that says stop. I have stopped, a moment to utilise the space we have created. The box with felt in it that I misplaced for a year. The empty tins on the new shelves with easy to access scissors, pencils and art supplies...my space for my creative space. Holding the intention create in this new space. This is fun. The is play. This is my safe space to be with self and other with creativity.
