Creative?

I have big plans to visit a craft store when I go to America in a couple of weeks! I want to re-kindle my love for needlepoint! Have a project in mind!

I've been working on some Christmas ornaments lately.
I'm actually quite happy with the butterfly I painted on one.
I can't always say that

What kind of needlepoint do you do?

I enjoy singing, making collages, scrapbooking ( which I haven't done in awhile), and baking.

I do enjoy a lot of creative activities, although writing is my absolutely favourite thing. I'm very good at knitting, having made lots of sweaters for people (I mean ones that they actually wear and don't just shove in a drawer, never to be seen again!). I do dressmaking - until my sewing machine starts misbehaving, as it usually does. I also love embroidery, although that's probably seen as old fashioned nowadays, and I bake lots of nice goodies. I suppose I'm just an old fashioned girl!

my entire life is based on arts.
weather it be photography, baking , cooking, dancing, beading, painting , writing, music, and many other things as well.
if im not doing something creative and fun, then I don't see much point in doing any thing at all.
im only really happy if im creating something (or playing with my animals)

I like to work with charcoal. I like to get the blobs of dark and white down on paper and then sculpt the features (usually facial) with my hands. Very messy, but therapeutic. I like knitting looms, to make floppy winter hats and arm warmers, too.

I am jealous of people who can knit. I have always wanted to do that.

I taught myself to knit...
It's okay.
I also taught myself tunisian crochet...
You get a fabric that looks knitted and I enjoy it more.
It doesn't come out as elastic as knitting but I don't mind that.

I just painted a butterfly ornament and I love it!
It came out so pretty!

Good answer! That's my special creative power too.

I am quite musical. I like to sing, play clarinet, flute and recorder. I also dabble in piano and guitar but wind instruments are my speciality. I write music, lyrics and poetry.

I suppose I like to paint too but I'm not very good.

My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was younger. Well, she taught me only one stitch, so pretty much all I can make is a long chain and say it's a snake. Or a Christmas tree decoration. Yeah, let's do that!

You sound extraordinarily creative, in my opinion!

I love singing and baking. I'm pretty ok at both I've been told. Baking centers me. I like the calmness of measuring and mixing.

I am honestly not that creative although I have always wanted to.My mom is very creative and i envied her my whole life. Sure, I like to read and write but that's about it where my passions lie. I also have a talent for singing, but that's not really creative in my mind.

I think cooking counts as well...I hardly ever follow a recipe to the letter...and quite often don't even look at a recipe...
I love thinking out of the box when cooking

I think creativity is really more a way of life. I work in theater and help students create plays, I sing, I write, I dance... I try to put creativity into everything I do. Keeps life interesting.

As long as it is not outside of the bowl!

Messy, messy, messy.
