Despite coming from a very creative family I have never considered myself as a 'creative'. I thought 'creative' meant making beautiful, perfect items with lines straight and neat. As I have experimented with sewing, quilting, card making and homemade cookery, things that I enjoy doing, I have discovered that 'creative' does not have to be perfect. And that all this 'making' and 'crafting', despite the rough edges, unstraight stitching and borderline scruffy icing is actually creative. I have found this to be so freeing. And I actually love the fact that my creations are not perfect - because its me and of course I am not perfect. I think once you realise this you end up creating much more beautiful items because they come from your heart.
