I went to A Work of Heart<\/a> for a half an hour last week. I know it sounds crazy to drive an hour for a half and creativity session, but I had to go to the neighborhood anyway. Half an hour was about all I could spend, but it was enough. Andrea, the owner, was there by herself working, so she set me up and I embellished the front of the journal.<\/p>\n

I worked on the journal that I originally made (and wrote about<\/a>) at A Work of Heart with CQFA back in October. I never do this kind of work at home so it really felt like play time to me. I didn’t feel pressure and I worked as though I couldn’t screw up.<\/p>\n

Many in the blogosphere have talked about their own personal Word of the Year projects. I think I first heard about it through the Creative Mom Podcast<\/a>. I have watched these discussions for the past couple of years with interest.<\/p>\n

I have seen mention that Christine Kane<\/a> started it, but I am sure someone was picking a word of the year before she promoted it. I have friends who have been choosing a Word of the Year for the past few years. Julie<\/a> puts all the words into a vessel and picks one.<\/p>\n

Julie’s process didn’t seem right for me. I never picked a word until this year.<\/p>\n

Purpose Journal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then, recently, the word Purpose<\/em> came to mind and that seemed right to me. All the pieces started to fall into place. Now I have a list of questions to explore and this journal in which to write.<\/p>\n

In a way it is an exploration via non-quilt media as well as via writing. I don’t know yet what I want to accomplish, but I have a great journal in which to accomplish it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
