The road to living a creative life is never a straight path. Enjoy the winding curves!

 

Join me as I explore the twists and turns of a crafting life.

Do we really have a say in what creativity we experience? 

Can creativity really be corralled and molded into the shape we desire? Can we really "craft" a creative life, or are we at the whim of serendipity? Perhaps we can only be open to the ebb and flow of art and inspiration, allowing them to form our lives into journeys that are delicious to experience; paths that excite our passions and stimulate our minds. Having a creative life is possible only if we are mindful of opportunities that come our way while we keep the window of imagination open. "Crafting" a creative life is simply making sure we drink in whatever rays of inspiration shine in through that open window. Now drink up! Happy crafting.

About thefiligreegarden

Who am I? That is something I ask myself everyday, along with "what do I want to be when I grow up?" Seeing as I am officially in the second half of life and embarking on new adventures every day, I can only say who I have been and who I am at this very moment. I wear or have worn the following hats: student, wife, mom, homeschooler, life learner, researcher, sewer, handcrafter, organic gardener, website designer, musician, writer, amateur photographer, nature lover, Etsy shop owner, birdwatching enthusiast, creator of jewelry, recycler of stuff, thrift store shopper, wannabe Maine resident, environmental hopeful, dreamer of dreams and pilot on many flights of fancy.

What will I be next? I guess you'll have to visit often to find out!

To view my handmade creations, please visit my Etsy shop, The Filigree Garden or my iCraft shop. For crafting and vintage supplies, visit my second shop, Rescued Beauty.
