Have you seen Making It! with Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman? I love seeing all the things the contestants are creating and how they go about it! I love that mainstream media is highlighting something that I have always found value in, crafting! I truly believe that each of us has creativity in us. Often we don’t identify things are creative! You don’t have to be “crafty” to be creative. After all we are a reflection of God and He is the creator of all things! It is amazing to see how each of the crafters on the show use different materials and have different styles! Sometimes your style can be reflected differently in different media. Here are some things that I have created over the year.
Watercolor crayons used to draw my favorite flower, the Iris.
Happy Birthday card created for my Father-in-law!
This little thank you gift was created to honor the secretaries at the school where I teach.
My kids love to sit on the floor so I created floor pillows. This was a simple no-sew project that used pillow forms and fleece. The two pieces of fleece were tied together.
Clearly the dog loves the pillows too!
This was designed to hold my business cards. I would love to give credit to the person who designed the holder but I made it so long ago, I’ve forgotten.
What have you put your creative mind to making? Look back over the years and look at all you’ve created! Find some pictures and post them here!
