1. Don't try to stay in your own, tiny working space. 2. Put your needy newborn in a sling. 3. Prime your huge canvas in the living room while.... 4. ...your terrible two is getting closer to edge of the paper with pencils.
5. And pray that those tiny hands stay away from the wet paint, while you cook lunch/answer to the phone/breastfeed/look the other way.
Repeat until your painting is ready. Mine is not. Maybe in a few years...
Я тоже, когда дочка была совсем маленькой, клала ее в слинг а сама писала картину. Художниками не становятся, художниками рождаются!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems such a little complicated!!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya... I'm in exactly same situation, with a 3.5y & a 1y :)
ReplyDeleteI know very well this story.I do watercolor in my tiny desk for be sure that they don't touch it. My kids has 3&5 years. In french way: Courage!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading all the posts. very creative and fun
ReplyDeleteGod bless you :)
Slings are a blessing! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI loved having a sling with my first. Now she's terrible two and I have twins on the way :). What am I going to do?
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see that you're going for it. I have an 11 year old and while she knows not to get her hands on my stuff, there's still all kinds of interruptions. Good luck to you! By the way, I'm just now completing a film about this very subject - mothers and artists. You might want to check out the trailer when you get a moment. www.maandpafilms.com/lostinliving

ReplyDeleteI totally understand, my crafts projects get now realized at night, after the 3 years old twins tornado goes to bed !
