30th Creation!

Well, I am not sure it is the 30th, but I have posted 30 times. Some days I didn't have a creation to show or tell, but I posted what I learned about creation on those days. Some days I posted multiple creations. I am proud that I finished my goal of 30 days of creation. They may not have been 30 days in a row, but I did what I set out to do.
The coolest part is that in the last few days I have realized that I helped others create by being a chearlcheer and/ or giving ideas to create a spark for them to create.
On Thursday, I helped my music students each begin composing a song. I helped them see their potential in this and sent them away feeling great and inspired.
Today, my daughter said she felt like she wanted something and it wasn't food. I told her she probably wanted to create something. So, I gave her some ideas that sparked her own idea that turned out to be amazing and original. She got excited and started thinking of the possibilities. Wow! I have a gift. Then...I realized my own creativity was sharper and more exciting. By sharing my gift, I received in return. I love it!
I intend to continue creating, but have a new endeavor I feel called to do. I am currently on day 3 of a human connection experiment. It has been amazing. I may continue to post here about that along with any more insights about my creations. Yay!

PSpj's

This idea hit me and I could not sleep without first putting this idea on to paper (or screen).  Wearable affirmations. With PJ's being the main article of clothing available.
I believe that words have power.  So do images. When we wear them or display them on us or around us, they affect our energy. When I see t-shirts with sculls all over them, or sarcastic remarks, I feel bad for the wearer in their ignorance. Perhaps, they choose to attract more of what they are wearing. Nonetheless, you don't see as much positive on t-shirts comparatively. So, think how powerful wearing a nightshirt could be, that read, "I am loved unconditionally and love unconditionally". I could create cute, fun, contemporary, feminine &/or sexy lines. Maybe even pillows with, "I am peaceful and wake up refreshed".
I would call them Positive Statements PJ's. PSpj's. Our most popular t-shirt pj with pants would read, "P.S.(pj's) I love you".
Of course, I would make them 4 types compatible. 😍

TBT: Poems and Lyrics

I have been revisiting my writing over the years. Last night I realized my greatest creations came from a place of wonder in safety. I have lost that over the years. My writing became more forced and less raw. In high school my biggest worries were acceptance, school work, pier/familial/societal/religious pressure. Now, I have all that underlying the need to provide for my family in all areas. Here is to raw creations! May I find that place again! I know you are curious as to what is inside of that little scratch book. I will give you a sample from something I wrote during math or something in 1995.

 DAYDREAM
It's 3'o'clock in the afternoon,
I'm hot, I'm tired, I'm in a raunchy mood.
This day's gone by so slow it seems.
I think of chocolate, strawberries & cream.
We live to learn that's what they say,
To be someone, somewhere, someday.
The teacher speaks in his own language,
And tries to find these numbers' average.
I'm tired of it all!
What can i do?
I guess it's odd,
but I daydream of you!
...

So much potential! I did edit it a little better in college and added music to it. That may be another post.

 

Let's Make Valentine Boxes!

So, I didn't create this all alone, but it was my idea to do it for a family activity & I contributed my creativity. I also try to encourage creativity in my children. That counts!

Pointer Buddies!

In order to help my music students focus on following the music when they are not playing, I made these fun pointers to help make it fun!

Marbeling Fabric

I spent most of Friday marbeling a unitard to look like a statue for my son's costume. I still smell the shaving cream. The fabric still stinks like shaving cream. Yuck! I need to wash it again.

Throw Back Thursday

Here is a design of my dream home I created on my Galaxy Note phone. Our builder was willing to have his guy put it into the real format. Our house is pretty close to this original plan. I created my house plan! Pretty proud of this. The drawing is of the basement that we finished later on our own.
