Eternally one

“i am my beloveds and he is mine” – i know, valentines was weeks ago but i don’t really do valentines anyway, can’t be bothered with the consumerism of it all. however i do like to play and make things so the other day i remembered i had seen a logo for a headboard on someones site somewhere. i know, i should take more notice of where i see stuff but i see so much stuff it would take a whole computer just to keep records of what i saw where. is anybody else out there like that too?

anyway, the logo said “forever one” meaning you’ll only ever need one of their headboards but i loved the way they’d created it layering one word on top of the other, very simple but very stylish, so this is a knock-off recreation with a twist.

hey it was fun to do and I’m not going to sell it or anything so I don’t think they’ll get too mad, do you? so here is my homage to forever one –

but maybe…

grandchildren can teach you a thing or two about life! one of the things i love about my granddaughter eden is her huge, optimistic hope. going past the train station the other day i said “no train today” and she said “maybe…”. another time – “sorry darling we don’t have any juice” “but maybe…” “maybe” is one of her favourite sayings and everytime i hear it i am encouraged to believe that maybe…..

it is all too easy as adults and even teens sometimes to let go of hope and optimism. certainly for creatives we can get in a rut where it seems like our creativity is  shut down and we get what is called artists or writers or whatever “block”. our world and belief in ourself spirals down and we somehow think that we will never find our way out of the rut. but maybe, “maybe…” should be our maxim. here’s a couple of quotes to help keep your “maybe…” alive.

the first is from a fav film “Princess Bride” the film where “maybe” reigns.

“we’ll never survive!” “nonsense. you’re only saying that because no one ever has.” – William Goldman, The Princess Bride

the second was found somewhere, but i forgot to take note of where sorry.

maybe, just maybe, there is a little creative magic about to be loosed from your life… just believe and tell yourself “maybe…”.
