Creating and being compassionate are two objectives that contribute to our Heavenly Father’s perfect happiness. Creating and being compassionate are two activities that we as His spirit children can and should emulate.
If you are a mother, you participate with God in His work of creation—not only by providing physical bodies for your children but also by teaching and nurturing them. If you are not a mother now, the creative talents you develop will prepare you for that day, in this life or the next.
What you create doesn’t have to be perfect... Don’t let fear of failure discourage you. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside.
Ever since "Super Saturday" (craft day), I have just been craving something crafty, & creative...and now I realize why. It was so soothing and calming for me to sit and create something useful and beautiful. Really, it wasn't anything fancy. But I feel addicted. I have been looking for more inspiration and ideas to create. So here is my list of things to create and a few pictures I found to inspire me (mostly so I don't forget)...
1. A quilt for each of my girls. (Kalli, could you maybe give me some direction with this? How do you bind a quilt? How do you create the pattern?) They have some way cute fabric at Broadbent's Department Store in Lehi.
2. Learn more about photography & photoshop. (I really really want to upgrade to the full photoshop and learn "aged", & all the other ins & outs of lighting and composition.)
3. Turn the empty bedroom upstairs to be my craft room. (So I don't have to put anything away, where I can be nice & organized with all my stuff and be able to see it)
4. Crochet those really really cute baby girl hats for my girls.
5. Make some picture puzzle blocks for Bella for Christmas...
6. Okay I really need to learn to make homemade rolls & cinnamon rolls & bread. (Rhodes is pretty close, but doesn't count according to Levi).
What ideas do you have? Anyone want to join me?

I like the comment from Elder Uchtdorf. I always love his talks because he has such great stories. I like all the ideas you have. I want to learn to make cinnamon rolls too. Seth loves cinnamon rolls!
I want to join.. let me know when you do any of the fun stuff!
You are so wonderful, I love the quote you posted, it calmed me and inspired me, not two feelings I usually have together!
Okay, so I have, just in this past year, began to make my own bread and rolls, and finally just this past month, cinnimon rolls. But I have a secret, I also recieved my 6 quart professional Kitchenaid mixer this year! It was Christmas. And so it does all of my kneading for me! Also, if you have a breadmaker (a bit cheaper) it would knead your dough as well, and really, that is the only hard part! So, if you would like me to, I can post my favorite recipes on my blog. The cinnimon rolls are to DIE for!
Chels, please please post your recipes!!!! thank you thank you!
