I never really considered myself creative growing up. My mum had her own business doing cake decorating and I did a lot of baking with her but otherwise I was pretty academic. I avoided art at school as I don't like the feel of clay on my hands. I qualified as an actuary - we're meant to be more boring than accountants :) Once I was pregnant with my first child though, it was like a switch got turned on. I've got more creative with my baking and also more recently taken up sewing, which I have pretty much become obsessed with. It's good to see other people have come to it later too.Laurahttp://www.craftstorming.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528468077336200042.post-87882280231491321792012-09-05T08:35:10.321+10:002012-09-05T08:35:10.321+10:00It's great that you're able to be both aca...It's great that you're able to be both academic and creative Julia :)Tamsynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800218969854372400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528468077336200042.post-66728920409416914122012-09-04T00:39:42.316+10:002012-09-04T00:39:42.316+10:00I think coming from a migrant family, my parents a...I think coming from a migrant family, my parents always worked hard to provide for us and instil in us that study and handwork were the pathways to success. We were allowed to follow creative pursuits but they were a strictly spare time thing. My brother and I were strongly encouraged to go to uni to study something that would secure us good jobs. Which we both did:) Now my mum appreciates my creative brain but is still very happy I went to uni.

But reading your post about home ec days brought back memories- I remember actually submitting the exact same pair of tracksuit pants for grading to my year 8 teacher, as my twin sister had submitted the previous day, because I could not be bothered to complete my own tracksuit pants... I think the grade was slightly different, but I was not going to contest it :) housewifeinheelshttp://www.housewifeinheels.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528468077336200042.post-76455064748160415282012-08-30T19:45:09.262+10:002012-08-30T19:45:09.262+10:00That's so special Brandi, I'll have to sea...That's so special Brandi, I'll have to search your blog to see if I can find photos of your dress xxTamsynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800218969854372400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528468077336200042.post-21328619051289549552012-08-30T19:44:27.485+10:002012-08-30T19:44:27.485+10:00I love that you came back to it Carol!

She used to work as a seamstress for a bridal shop. I wished I had paid more attention when she was sitting down at the machine.

Then clothes became really cheap and I was busy with five kids and it wasn't fashionable to have homemade anything...so only a couple of years ago..about as long ago as my blog started up..I took creative stuff up again.Naturally Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999271127735997770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528468077336200042.post-17256846093044605512012-08-30T10:06:44.936+10:002012-08-30T10:06:44.936+10:00I think I've always kind of thought of myself ...I think I've always kind of thought of myself as creative even though my creativity is so strongly inspired by other far-more-creative people. There is something about the simple act of creating which feels creative in itself even though it may not be unique. (Does that make any sense?) I think you are incredibly creative and I thank you for all the inspiration you offer here daily! xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943212235586773456noreply@blogger.com
