For as long as I can remember, someone in our family was always working on a project. Great Aunt Edna ; famous for her crochet work of many varieties, her doll collection that had several handmade dresses and every doll complete with under clothes. Grandma Jean; famous for her oil paintings on canvas, rocks and crafts. Venturing out into the world of knitting on machine beautiful sweaters, holiday stockings and many other knitted heirlooms. Auntie; chocolate, card making, stamping, flower arranging and always ready to try something new. Mom; baking, scrap booking, memoir keeper, circle knitting, holiday wreaths and a plethora of fun creative projects. Great Grandma Maude; Crocheting, beans on the stove, cornbread baked. Last but not least...Kristie; wood working, painting, art, sewing, devotion! If I have left anyone out let me know.
As I have explored my now thirty-six years I have touched on many creative outlets in my life. I cannot help but think there is a special connection between all of us that comes from the desire to create something new. Most times to give to someone else. Other times to feel the joy in completing a project from beginning to end. There is a lot or miles on each hand and heart as we weave the web of creativity throughout our lives.
Happy Creating!!
