Greetings Everyone!
It is a glorious end of summer/early fall day as this is being written. Just the kind of weather that spurs creative thoughts!
A frequent occurrence for creative types is to hit a stumbling block when they are part way through a project. Hearing a workshop leader advising one participant to keep going when she felt discouraged, and then seeing how pleased that participant was with the end result is still memorable. Two famous people had similar advice as one can see from these 2 quotes:
"It always seems impossible until it's done." ~ Nelson Mandela
"Our greates weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." ~ Thomas A. Edison
Our pieces will not always be what we imagined when we started which cause the frustration but invariably at the end there is a great result!
We have a number of new items in inventory to spur creative throughts but you might find inspiration with your current stash just by grouping things differently.
Wishing you a super creative September!
Meredith, Brent and Carrie
