Getting back to creativity!

One of my favorite creativity quotes:

“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.” — John Steinbeck

That's so true with the projects we make. It seems like a project starts, and from that another is born and so on and so on.  What's fun to see is how each project takes on a life of its own. 

Here's another great quote:

”Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity that you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach – how you look at things . . . Whatsoever you do, if you do it joyfully, if you do it lovingly, if your act of doing is not purely economical, then it is creative.” –  Osho

My favorite days are those spent creating things just for the fun of it, something for my home, or something for my children, or just a gift for someone special.  I can be completely stressed out and just sitting down and designing something and then watching it come out of my sewing machine as a completed project is so theraputic to me.  My next fun project are some little pink slippers for a couple of funny little girls I recently got to spend some time with. They picked out their fabric from my stash~ they picked pink flannel with puppies on them. One of them told me "as wong as it's pink, I will wuv it, Winda!"  Pink it is!

“Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.” — Albert  Einstein
