art:: creating each day for a month

after writing last week that i would do an art activity a day with Hugo, a friend of mine , nic has decided to join me in my challenge. its so easy to say that you are going to do something and then just shelve it, but with someone standing by your side things start to happen. so here we go ..... to extend it personally i am going to try and do one thing creatively a week... I'll start off slow and see how i go !
i was lying in bed last night thinking about my blog and how i wanted to document this month of creativity and i never seem to know what or how to write something, i just seem to ramble in my blog, so maybe a little less talking and more photos of our creations.
so 30 days of creativity and 30 days of photos....here goes.........
today i pulled out my dry felting materials and Hugo has interested, here are his efforts.
i am going to keep this out for the week , so he can revisit.

i don't want this to be a one hit wonder, i would like it to continue. they say you need to do something for 3 weeks for it to become a habit, so this is what i am hoping for.

it not that we don't do anything creative i think i have just got a little complacent of late and been running around doing so many things but nothing very constructive so its time just to stop and be in the moment for awhile.
