My grandmothers taught me to crochet when I was 9. I was always playing with yarn or string or into some sort of craft. My mother and I were always doing something creative . Sewing , drawing, painting, making jewelry , painting and firing ceramics, and we even had our own flower shop for awhile. Now as a mother I love to craft with my children hoping to pass on the thrill to create.
Not a day goes by that I dont have something going on my hook. Sometimes it is an easily mindless project or, if the mood is right something tedious requiring deep concentration. Either way it satisfy me emotionally to create something from nothing. Now thats creativity at its best.
