Todays blog prompt - At what age did you feel most inspired?. I'm nearly 59 now so I have had a few years to feel inspired. From the age of 12 I have crocheted. My sewing teacher agreed to teach me how to crochet if I would stop being disruptive in the sewing class. I still crochet but not as much due to wrist pain these days. This photo is of one of my doileys I made.I also felt inspired when I was doing cross stitch and creating my own designs - again the wrist pain has slowed me down there also.
I have also spent 8 years making and designing collectible teddy bears - I only made my own designs and had some of them written up in an english teddy magazine. the pain in my hand and wrist got so bad that I turned to the computer to see how I could use photoshop to mess around with my photos - a google search found the world of digi scrapping. I again design a lot of digi kits and spend hours during my spare time digi scrapping.
The time I felt most inspired? - - - the time I am in at the moment.

I wish I could learn how to crochet doilies! I want to learn to crochet and a friend is going to teach me how to make an afghan but I have a king size bed so this may take forever and ever and ever...
That's a beautiful dollie! I used to do embroidery and cross stitch myself! :)
Lovely doiley Joan. I forgot that I used to crochet too. But it sounds like you've been in a state of inspiration pretty much all your life. It's a shame that your wrist is impacting your ability to enjoy all these things still. But it's great that you've found another creative outlet in the digi-scrapping world.
