Pik me….I also want to try it!

Wow, so this is my first post! It is amazing how sitting in my study/workroom typing this up feels like I am writing this to a good old friend! And even though I am very aware that anybody in the www (whole wide world) could be reading this, it seems rather unreal. 

So I will start my first post by introducing myself to you.

My name is Miranda and I live in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. I come from a family that is not only creative but industrious!  I have a good mixture of my parents and with that comes the “I am sure I can do that” attitude. Sometimes good and sometimes frustrating! I love to try new things and I want to become good at it. I have had a few great Pintrest moments and probably an equal amount of NON-Pintrest moments!

I told my mom a number of years ago that I wish I was more creative (as with no background training as a designer it made me feel like I was less creative). BUT my wonderful mom told me that the only way you can become more creative is to work at your craft. I decided to tackle anything and everything that might bring out my creative juices.

An important lesson for me in becoming creative has been that everyone has different taste and think different things are beautiful. So, when you are making/creating things from YOUR imagination or coming up with new ideas to create new things, YOU are creative!!

There are many projects lying ready (and have been for a few years now) as my list seems to get longer every day. One of my projects has been creating this website from scratch and teaching myself more coding to be able to get it to do what I want. So you might see the site change slightly over time as I think there is always room for improvement.

The aim of the blog is to share my journey into ‘becoming more creative’….so here it goes!

When I see something new, that little voice inside me keeps on saying….

“PIK ME…..I also want to try it!”

    there is a big difference between creating and being creative. I need to try being more creative rather than just creating. Great blog post – may it grow as your creativity grows!
