What if life was just about being?

Posted on April 6, 2017 by Mairead

"If someone tells you they can’t read or write, you don’t assume they are not capable of it, just that they haven’t learnt how. It is the same with creativity. When people say they are not creative, I just assume they have not learnt how. I also assume that they can." From: Out of Our Minds: The Power of Being Creative" by Ken Robinson @sirkenrobinson Photo from exhibition @nationalgalleryofireland Dublin #craft #making #crafting #creative #creativity #creativecalm #calm #peace #positivity #mindfulness #peaceofmind

Another high impact (and beautiful) art exhibition. Thank you, Jenni Dutton! @theknittingandstitchingshows Dublin @jennidutton9342 #art #craft #making #crafting #creative #creativity #creativecalm #calm #peace #positivity #mindfulness #peaceofmind

I had the most fun I’ve ever had at a #knitnstitchshow class yesterday @angelinemurphydesign ‘s Create your own Memory Bear. I thought it would be too complicated, too many new skills to learn, too stressful but Angeline is a generous teacher with loads of patience. On top of that I was sitting beside a very generous @jenn_jenn_w (who is a teacher too!) between the two of them I made my Memory Bear all on my own! He’s not finished yet (I kept my stitch speed on tortoise🐢) but I feel completely confident in my ability to do just that and I will share when he’s born-ed. Teachers like these two make learning fun, give you confidence and nudge you gently in the direction of your bliss. Angeline will be giving classes before Christmas so I’ll share the details when I get them. In the meantime I’ll be dusting off my sewing machine. #craft #making #crafting #creative #creativity #creativecalm #greatteachersmakeadifference #calm #peace #mindfulness
