Today I am going to share with you my Quotable Quote #3.
A CREATIVE MESS
IS BETTER
THAN
TIDY IDLENESS
Well, most of the time I am right on with this quote. My sewing room is usually a "creative mess". However, lately my son has been having his "creative mess" on my dining room table and I'm not too sure I like that.
Notice sawdust everywhere. |
"What is he doing?" you ask. He has recently started making wooden fishing lures. I don't know if he is using the right paint or doing it all the "right" way but he is learning, having fun, being creative, staying busy and making a creative mess.
"Mom, why do you have to take my picture?" |
Ahh, there's a half, fake, forced smile. |
Here is a close-up of one he made recently.
Love the squigly eyes on this one. |
Psst. don't tell him but we are talking about getting him some things for his b-day next month that might make it a little easier to do and to make the "creative mess" not so messy. (As in a box to organize all his stuff) I love that my son is artistic. He gets his drawing ability from his dad. Maybe he's starting to get some of my craftiness. ;) We'll see if this is a fad or maybe a lifetime craft for him. Even though I don't like sawdust in my dining room, it is still better than "tidy idleness". AMEN? Amen! So, until next time...
Have a blessed day,

This reminds me of one of my favorite Bible verses I have to quote to myself OFTEN!!!! "Where no oxen are the crib is clean, but much increase comes from the strength of the ox." Amen and AMEN!!! I LOVE the fishing lures!!!! I can see my son doing that someday....
