My creativity includes painting, and knitting, embroidery, crochet, and cross stitch, on top of quilting. So, I just cross it off as all being part of the creativity process.
Martha Stewart doesn't live here. If I had her space, I could probably be neater, and maybe even more creative. I do what I can with what space I have to work in. Kitchen and bathrooms are clean. If someone comes to inspect the house...........they better go somewhere else. If they come to visit......they already know I am creative, and they can deal with it.
