Creature Comforts: Making Me Happy

Posted by on Feb 26, 2009 in Creativity | 0 comments

Here’s some TGIT loveliness for you!  The weekend is almost here!

I was checking out the new posts at one of my favorite blogs and Ez posted this video for “Her Morning Elegance” by Oren Lavie.  I’ve never heard the song, but now I am hooked – and the music video is sooo cute and creative.  Enjoy!

Ez likes the scarf scene and underwater part.  I really like when they’re dancing and when it looks like she’s floating away but he brings her back.  Darling!

Dear Holly,

Thank you for your weekly “Real Talk” series. I get so excited for Thursdays and I wish you had posts like this every day, but I realize that they are spread out on purpose. You are helping us grow, and that takes time. Which coincidentally, is exactly what your post is about today.

You are an inspiration (one of many) to motivate me to work on my top ten list. Thank you. Feel free to comment if you read this. Hee hee!

Love,

Lindsay ;)

*Real Talk* Creativity Series…

*Real Talk* Creativity Series…

If you’ve been living under a rock and never visited Holly Becker’s blog over at decor8, it really is a great blog for inspiration and some great design finds.  She is so heartfelt and honest in her blogging, and I love her new 10 week series called “Real Talk” in which she talks about the creative process and has you do some creative exercises to help you tap into your creative side.  Tomorrow is the 3rd installment, but it will be really easy to catch up if you’re interested.  I love that she is helping others work on their creativity and move past their creative blocks; something I am really working on myself!!

The exercises so far have been really helpful – it is just a way to be instructed because I know that I wouldn’t do anything like this on my own.  For example, I am always thinking about a watercolor painting class that I took a few years ago.  I made some really beautiful paintings, but when I sit and try to do one at home, it just isn’t the same!  Unfortunately, I am the type of person who needs some instruction to be creative.  But I am hoping to change that with this series!

Her first post from two weeks ago is about “mind mapping” and going back to your childhood to try to remember what you used to love and just branch out from there.  I really recommend going and subscribing to the series yourself, because it is such a great service that Holly is giving us “wannabe” creatives out there.

Thank you, Holly!
