Keys to Creative Flow

I was Googling again and came across THIS!

Winter Project: Knitting Scarves

So here's the final masterpiece

This is the scarf me and my Queen Mama knitted for my niece who turned one year old last week.

I usually knit it myself - however we had a deadline to meet and plus i still can't crochet - well, yet.

Hope you like it! :)

What's your Winter Project?

I'm knitting scarves!

It's one of my many creative passions and this one is from childhood days.

I've started one for my niece who turned one year old on today.

It's coming up neat!

My mum and I are both working on it as the party is this Saturday and we want to finish it by then and gift it to her.

I have a total of 13 nieces and nephews and I think they will all be getting in line for their winter scarves too lol.

I knitted one for my best-friend-soul-sisters daughter a few years ago and will do another one for her other baby.

So, anyways - do you have any winter projects coming up?

Why not revisit your hobbies and see what you can get your teeth into to keep your juices flowing this winter.

Share with us all here you winter project and i will share the finished scarf with you next week! :)

Creative Genius Mindset!

So, I'm a firm believer that each and every one of us is a genius - in our own special and unique way.

I'm also a firm believer that we are all creative - again in our own unique and special way.

Now check out this map and study it and reflect on it and get excited and let your creative juices flow.

I know that somewhere on this map you will find a piece of you.

And if you want to go all out and unleash the genius within - then go ahead - study this map, visualise you doing what you love doing or want to do, say bismillah and become the creative you that is hidden deep within! :)
