I'M JUST A GIRL, CREATING WHAT I CAN WITH WHAT I'VE GOT
Whoever said necessity breeds creativity was right. Here I am, low on funds and high on needs (ok, desires) with very little room, kids that want stuff (why do they insist on wanting stuff?), and a penchant for getting the creative juices flowing. I love learning. I love teaching. I love making money off the stuff I make. I love creating!! This blog is a way to visually share my journey with all those who might benefit from it. Family, clients, fellow DIYers--YOU ARE ALL WELCOME HERE!

MY BELIEFS ABOUT CREATIVITY
Art and sewing have done so much to give me my self-confidence, that I want to help others use art-making as a means to self-discovery.
My belief in hand-crafting and creativity is built upon several assumptions that I hope will you also come to believe:
1. You are creative because you are human.
2. Creativity is a habit.
3. You can learn to think like an artist.
4. You should primarily do it for yourself, not for others.
5. There will always be someone that is better than you, but that is not important.
6. Art-making is both a skill and a talent. Having one or the other—or both—will take you a long way.
7. When you improve your creativity, you improve every other part of your mind.
8. You don’t need a lot of time, money, or supplies to be creative.
9. When you express yourself creatively (no matter your skill), your well-being and confidence will soar.
10. The only way to begin is to start small, and start now.
