This one will make you smile… I have been starting to embroider lately (trying to be crafty and creative with Christmas gifts this year…) and found this wonderful website, sublimestitching. How about this pattern?! http://sublimestitching.com/stitchwars.html Totally makes me think of your family portrait!

Seriously though, they have some really cute and modern patterns and it is an easy and affordable creative hobby to try out! http://sublimestitching.com/transferpreview.html

Thanks for the inspiration, as always!

I beat box with my son! Haha, he is only two, so he doesn’t seem to care how terrible I am at it! It inspires me to be creative and hopefully pass on creativity…
I really LOVE the ideas of the positive journal or “joy book”! What a beautiful way to pass on our legacy and to have a tangible reminder of “the good things” on those not so good days.
You woman are inspiring me!

Love all the ideas!

I was raised by generations of crafty women (in the best sense!) who would look at something (painting ceramics, sewing, making jewelry, etc.) and say “I can do that!” and the next thing you knew, they’d be off on another artsy tangent. And I have taken on that trait in spades

On my list to try next:

-Embroidery
-Painting with Acrylics
-Sewing my own clothes
-Songwriting
-Ceramic modeling

The list is endless!

Excellent post. I bought a guitar 10 years ago with the plan to teach myself. I’m signing up for a class tomorrow

Skydiving
My first jump was at sunset all on my own, after watching my father jump first – his last jump had been 30 years earlier, when I landed he gave me his original jump wings

I am LOVING all these ideas! I’m going to bookmark this post so I can come back when I need some inspiration! You are all a wealth of ideas I never thought of!

And don’t worry, the Seattle Sistas post is in the works!

One thing I would love to do to stir up my creative juices is take a dance class. It is such a great way to express myself! I have been itching to take a ballroom dancing class and a belly dancing class. =)

I recently joined a networking group and for our 30-second commercial I was confident when I said out loud that I was a “photographic artist”. I never considered myself to be an artist considering I draw stick figures still, but I love that photography allows me the ability to express my artistic eye.

BTW – did I miss a post on the workshop images for the Seattle Sistas? =)
