Dear Purps:
I work at home on creative projects that are geared toward a viable income. Of course, discipline is required to accomplish one's art, music, writing, jewelry fabrication, etc., amidst domestic chaos (the benign sort). I work outside the home enough to get by. The home environment for me, however, is grist for my mill. Mundane chores and home-related challenges provide inspirational fodder for my domestic and decorating services, as well as for my household hints column (I do laundry in my kitchen sink with a washboard and IVORY soap). My countryside walks, which get me out off the house and dispel my oft acute cabin fever, provide ideas for my writing and art ...
My point is that I embrace a degree of the spontaneous and unexpected in my home-based operations. It's part of what we are. I attempted for a time to create in a hothouse environment, sealed off, as it were, from the outside world. It simply didn't work for me. Accordingly, the details of routine ordinariness provide my impetus.
This works for me.
Wishing you the best with your art/jewelry projects!
