Your Creative Process Is Never Pointless. What is it you do? Keep doing it. What is it you want to do? Keep trying.
When I was in my early 20’s I used my stay home mommy times making things. There was no computer or Pinterest to inspire. It was magazines and craft stores. I tried crocheting and made some cute things, I sewed things, I made Christmas things. I painted small pieces of furniture with trending colors and designs. I painted little canvas squares with holiday themes or pictures of things kids love to decorate a room.
By December I had ALOT of stuff. What did I do? I pulled all my own home decor out of my dining room and kitchen. Displayed ALL my crazy crafts, put a sign out and hosted a lovely holiday sale in my home over a four day weekend. I made a little over $4000.00 dollars. Believe me when I say that back in the 80’s with a husband making minimum wage that money was OVER THE TOP.
Your Creative Process Is Never Pointless!!!!
This experience taught me something I never knew about myself. I created and designed beautiful things. What I thought when making things was my mental process to being a young stay home mom was fullfilled by filling my space with creatively designing. We had no TV at the time. When kids were napping, or content I crafted. Saving extra money to buy supplies. I loved designing and creating beautiful home accents.
I went on to become an Interior Designer with my own showroom and managing a larger than life staff. Why? How?
My creative process was not pointless. Taking what you love and turning it into not just your hobby but a business.

Interior Designer, Consultant, Artist. Which is it they ask? All of the above. God has blessed me in ways that words cannot describe. Doing what I love and making a career out of it all. Starting with a beautiful designer showroom. Decorating homes and specializing in kid's spaces. Magazine covers and spreads, then show homes. Adding in business consulting. Working alongside my clients to develop a strategic plan to design and market their product or service in the correct markets. Then one day, after years of painting for my clients, a few gallies, my hobby business I decided in the second half of my life to bring Elizabeth Harris Art Gallery to life. I took my paintings to the streets and flipped my website into my "Art You Love" business. Do what you love and love what you do.
