Safety Pin

Activity: Find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Look around your home for a household item you see/use regularly. Really take a look at it. How was it made? Where was it made? Could you make one? What was involved in the process of creating this?

I found the safety pin above as I was re-attaching my son's lunch box handle. I stopped. Took a look. And really remembered that I find safety pins extraodinary. What about you?

Overload
How often do you say...."I am so BUSY!"  What is causing the overload?  Where can you "let go" of some of the busy-ness?

Breathe...I am slowing down on sending posts out on time...why?  Did not follow my own routine.  I let the overload win...and my creativity took the hit.  So, back to my planning and schedule that includes "Be Creative".  (the next post will give you the method I use...*sigh*)

Looking Down

Take some time today to look down at the ground. What do you notice? Do you see patterns? Something remarkable? What grabs your attention?

Observe...create a way to "capture" what you see in your drawings, your knitting, your collage, your photos, your paintings, your writings...
