If God is a creative being and I am created in the image of God, then I am a creative being.

My entire life I have yearned to create. Whether it be through writing, music, art, scrapbooks, photography or knitting, I am forever on a journey of creation. Lately, my focus has narrowed to knitting, photography and writing. Mostly because I don’t have time to pursue all my interests.

Knitting is therapeutic. I love the feel of soft yarn in my hands and the repetitive motion of the needles through the yarn. I choose simple socks, shawls, scarves and other patterns that don’t require a lot of focus so that I can get lost in the process of knitting. I have yet to find socks as wonderful as the ones I knit for myself. My big feet don’t have many options out there in the pre-made sock world.

I am currently rediscovering photography. I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT and love it for its intuitive menu and controls. I am trying to move out of automatic mode and into manual. I am striving to develop an eye for composition. It is an art in itself and I believe that with practice I will develop my own style.

As for writing, I am working on fiction novels. My homework for writing is reading. I love reading and am finding that the more I read the better my first drafts of my own work are becoming.

Through this blog, I hope to share what I am creating and learning along the way. And maybe someone else will be inspired to do a little creating of their own.
