Find Fun on Fridays

Woo hooo!!! Its a fun filled Friday... and its time to take off some time from our busy lives to sneak a peek into lives of those amazing people who are creating awesome things, somewhere in this big world!

Today's featured creator is UK based Angela Holt of HandmadeKeepsakeRagDolls ... Well, I love dolls (can't really measure how much!) and that's what caught my attention! Angela makes the most adorable dolls! Not only that, she makes beautiful cards too. Her creations are quite diverse and have a unique style. But my favorite, favorite creation from her collection is her Shabby Chic Elephant! 

Well, check out her site below and find your favorite creation from her immensely creative and beautiful collection of dolls & cards!

Illustrated below are two of my favorites from Angela's creations! :)

Scribble? Scribble! Scribble.

Its always a tough race (and a funny one) between thoughts(ideas) and creations. While I keep scribbling all ideas into my little red book...its the creating part that drives me crazy. Because that is yet another battle! A battle between juggling home, kid, food, 'Internet Surfing', blogging and creating stuff that I have jotted and scribbled...

I often let 'creating' win :) ... but at times its difficult.

Have you also come across such a tussle between your ideas, creativity and managing other aspects of life? 

Why I create?

Just came across this lovely link - http://www.handmadeology.com/why-do-you-create/#comment-29235

Of course, I did contribute to it! ... it felt good, sharing my thoughts on "Why I create' with many other amazing creators!

Handmadeology - So glad I came across your link! :)

Here's my comment:

I create because ‘Creating’ is like breathing and feeling alive! There is so much beauty to capture & instill into my creations that a day of 24 hours seems too less!

I create because ‘Creating’ is like shaping up a new baby every single day – pampering it with materials you love, crafting it out with stitches or brush strokes and finally marveling at its final look! The adrenaline rush I get from creating a beautiful piece of art or craft work is indescribable…
And finally , I create because in this ‘one’ life, I wish to enliven all those lovely thoughts & ideas that flood my mind & heart! <3
