The problem with this desire is that it comes with guilt. Thoughts about how selfish it is to waste time doing 'art/craft'. Especially when there are still dishes in the sink to be cleaned or ironing to be done etc.
I am not saying that my responsibilities should come second to being creative. Of course not. What I am saying is that if I wait till everything I have to do is done then I would NEVER get to be creative. Somedays there will be an opportunity to be creative for a few hours. Somedays the opportunity will be 5 minutes here and there. The point is I need to keep an open mind. I won't always be able to get out the paint, or scrapbook 5 pages but I can try and do something creative everyday.
