What is it that you put off for a later day that which you would like to create today? Or more likely, wish you had already done yesterday?
For me... I would like to start writing a few books in a variety of genre, illustrate the one I already wrote, write more poetry, capture those photos, paint, sew that blanket... and the other one. To blog more, to go for it on that invention idea...
Anyway, just wondering what the rest of ya were putting off... that way I might feel a bit better about me! Or maybe, by mere confession, I might now become a doer and not merely the constant dreamer. I do actually do a few things, mostly photoshop, song writing... but, that nagging feeling that I have more on a list that keeps on getting longer and never any shorter, never a completed task, tends to irk me.
Maybe this year will be the year to cross off a fulfilled creative goal...
or maybe next year.

One thing I usually put off that I am getting better abut is crocheting. It started out that there were all these projects that I wanted to knit, but I have never learned how, until one day I decoded "Screw it! I'll just try it crochet it and see how it goes"
And, thankfully, its gone great! I have found that I have a lot of creative liberty with crocheting and can pretty much wing it and, though I may have to take out a few rows from time to time, can make about anything I can picture in my head.
Good about:
Making a garden, drawing, making up new recipes and baking things I haven' yet but always wanted to, going on hikes to new places, practicing piano
Bad about:
Taking that spare cloth and making new cloths, blankets and wool stuffed baby toys, painting, playing guitar/bass (about to change), writing (sorry Brooke! I'm working on it!), sculpting
There you have it.
But dear! We need to give ourselves a break- though in some ways having a kid gives us more time at home, it doesn't necessarily mean we have the time, or energy, or space (kids toys breed rapidly) to do fun creative stuff.
