Crafty creativeness is not always about knitting around here. . .
Sometimes, it's about cleaning out drawers and finding long hidden handmade treasures from people you love. . .

You just sit back and appreciate it.

You just sit back and appreciate it.
Sometimes, it's about cooking something new, like mochi pancakes (sakuramochi) for a Girls' Day celebration in the daughter's Japanese class. . .
(She is stuffing the pancakes with sweet red bean paste here. This was all kinds of yummy fun!)
There is so much more out there to explore!
Crafty creative living might also include a little bead embroidery now and then

Crafty creative living can be so many different things! For me, it is always being engaged with whatever I'm doing. It's being willing to explore and challenge myself. It's translating what I learn from other crafts and art forms into my knitting and spinning. It's also just plain fun.
What's crafty and creative in your life? I'd love to hear about it!
