Creative Intentions


A recent art teacher observed that "the world does not want you to be creative." It's true. Family, kids, work, cleaning, bills, errands, and the list goes on. We have so many responsibilities today, life is complicated. Inspired by my friend, Claudia aka www.creativaclaudia.blogspot.com, I am simplifying my life and putting my intentions to create out to the universe via this blog. That's the first step right!

I started the year out making a simple coloring book bag with crayon pockets for my son Spencer (above). My list of what I would like to accomplish for the year:

1. Quilt for Spencer (already have the fabric and created design)
2. Bibs for Cybele
3 & 4. Quilt for mom and one for dad
5. King quilt for my bed
6. Wall hanging for Cybele's birthday
7. Handmake gifts throughout the year instead of buying them
8. Start refashioning clothing www.refashionfiles.blogspot.com.

It is a big list! But I am going to tackle it one by one. Here I go.....

Yeah! You did it! I'm so happy to see your blog! It looks great but your goals are even greater! The bag is so cute too. I'm sure this blog will be a great way to get you going on your sewing and keep you motivated.
