My Inspiration's Source

"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before."

"Everyone can create. You don't need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty."

"Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before--colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter."

"What you create doesn't have to be perfect. So what if the eggs are greasy or the toast is burned? Don't let fear of failure discourage you. Don't let the voice of critics paralyze you--whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside."

"As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you."

These are excerpts from the talk, Happiness, Your Heritage, given by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, the Second Counselor in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (lengthy title, I know!). These are the words that helped inspire me to stretch outside my comfort zone and learn new things. Join me on my journey as I learn new skills and develop others! This talk is pretty incredible and well-worth reading! Here's the web address because I can't make a link over here:

First afghan

I just found this picture of the very first afghan I crocheted. I made it for my sister-in-law and loved how it turned out. It was so much fun to make. I don’t remember where I got the pattern though…
