Therefore it is only natural to celebrate the day I started being creative again. I say again because growing up my grandmother taught me to sew, crochet, needlepoint and bead work. She was always making something. When I was a young mom I didn't have the time to pursue creating.
On September 4, 2004 I began creating again. I started with taking an on-line quilt class from Quilt University. If you have never visited their site, you should. The classes are interesting, the price is reasonable, and you will enjoy it.
I quilted until I got sick four years ago. I was out of work for the summer and although I was still quilting, I wasn't getting as much enjoyment out of it. I started sewing other projects and played a little bit with other mediums. I left my old job and started working at a national fabric and craft store. Me, oh my, my creativity was reborn with all the goodies available to me.
Soon after my grandson was born, I started crocheting again. Then along came embroidery and needlepoint. Papercrafting soon found a place in my studio as well.
Now I spend time creating every day. I am a happy person when I can create. A cranky person when I cannot create. I even take crocheting with me when hubby and I go to the Deutsche Bank Golf Championship every Labor Day Weekend. Yes, we are standing at the 5th green and in between groups I will crochet.
Belated Happy Create-a-versary to me!
What is your favorite kind of creating?
Sweet P
