After a month of discussing creativity, curiosity, and fear - it's time to share! What creative projects are you thinking about, pondering, or working on?

I agree that a garden can be a wonderful expression of creativity. There are so many beautiful plants and accessories to work with. And I always tell myself, if things aren't working out, "There's always next year!"

Dana (dkmckelvey) | 51 comments I agree with both Susans, gardening is currently testing all of my creativity! I am relatively new to it, but inherited a garden that takes a lot of work. So fun to watch all of the pretty colors come out though.

Also, I am trying to decorate my spare bedroom, which for most people is easy but I just don't have that kind of "vision." That's what Pinterest is for I guess!

Decorating is such a passion for many of us. I think sites like Pinterest inspire all of us to be more creative, or at least dream of being creative. I love houzz.com to gather decorating inspiration - perhaps it can help with your spare room, Dana!

I agree about decorating - I just moved offices, and I am enjoying the decorating part of that project. The sifting through files - not so much!

I have gotten into sewing over the past year, but haven't made any new projects in a few weeks. I'd like to make some time to get back to that. I've only been making small projects - a drawstring bag here, an infinity scarf there - but I'd like to try maybe a tote bag next. :)
