Marta, I have been thinking so much about this piece since I read it, chewing on the idea of cleaning when needed, as a reset to support my creativity, instead of out of shame that my mess would be seen and judged. This is such a profound concept, and I appreciate you sharing it! Ironically, my teen had friends over yesterday, and I was frantically running about on a shame-powered tidying spree, trying to mitigate the messes in my home, thinking with chagrin about how I was not following your sage counsel. But even having your ideas in my mind helped to loosen the hold shame had on me, and opened me up to the possibility of playing with cleaning motivated by a desire to care for myself, my creativity, and my loved ones, rather than relying on shame as fuel. Thank you again!
Wow wonderfull cloth you made there, i totally love it! I can find you in this protestant work ethic, we can have a messy house, which is totally ok, i love the picca! Many succes with the cancer treatments beautiful soul🤝🪻✨️🍀

Thanks for your article. Dana k white has a new book on topic , I may not have the title correct: Jesus doesn’t care about your messy house.
I’ll definitely look at it! Thanks!
I’d love to hear more about craftivism and zines, when you have time and bandwidth. I hope that all goes well with surgery and recovery!
Also, I LOVE the dress you are making! Magic!
thank you so much!
Sewing will always produce the most mess but it’s so worth it!
yes indeed!!!
I love the way you encourage us to priorize creativity. I translated in French as well : https://systemececilia.wordpress.com/2025/06/15/le-desordre-est-moralement-neutre-mais-votre-vie-creative-ne-lest-pas/
I love this Marta x
