Creativity?

merlot love it.

I can only think mine is mixing a good batch of cement.

merlot that's quite something! Lovely.

Hi Grannyeggs shouldn`t that be GrannyLegs...anyway to get back to your comment..I like to sing too..but like most people I only sing to myself because ...well you, know why, I like the crooner type songs and sometimes the ones from Carousel and South Pacific etc sometimes old war songs too. I once nearly tried to `cut-a-disc with someone I knew as a song producer,but I bottled` out. grin]

Love it, merlot

I can cook and always thought I was good, but I realise I follow a recipe and am not very inventive. I love to sing but others don 't want to hear it, so no I guess I am not very creative.

Jess yes I do cook and always say that I follow a recipe but when I come to pass one on I discover I've adapted it.

I did redesign the back garden (with 'input' from DH) but the planting is definitely of the 'try it and see variety'. When it works it's good but that is more by good luck than any forethought.

A new Pam Ayres!

I'm not at all creative or artistic, and I can't sing, but am a good cook.

Thanks everyone,

Take a bit bow and a round of applause. Fantastic Merlot!

Excellent Merlot, bravo

Great Merlot You put me to shame!

Love it merlot

Brilliant merlotgran

Thanks, anno. I'm afraid Mr. Merlot is being very naughty about 'capturing a stream in full flow' I might have known!

I've given up creativity.

Someone else can do it for me.

merlot, there is no doubt about your creativity. That is brilliant!

Is anyone on here creative?
Can you knit, crochet, solder or sew?
Can you cook up a banquet or patch up a blanket?
Can you make an igloo out of snow?
Can you play a sonata or sing a cantata?
Do all your plants always blossom and grow?
Can you cook singing hinny in a bright tie-dyed pinny?
Can you ‘capture’ a stream in full flow?
OR
Do your cakes fail to rise, are there tears in your eyes
When your jellies run over the floor?
Do your jumpers unravel and peas taste like gravel,
Are seashells best left on the shore?
Does your voice take a course that would frighten a horse?
Does your snowman just melt in a thaw?
You don’t really care, why tear out your hair,
When it’s all for a laugh after all?

Having thought about this, I've realised that I seem to have let my creative hobbies lapse - I used to enjoy embroidery and glass-painting but since the GDs were born I've never felt as though I had the time. New Year resolution, perhaps?

Can knit, cook and write and that's about it. Three of my GC are creative - it remains to be seen what the other two can do. The gene didn't come from me, though one of my grannies was could draw and embroider beautifully and GF and GGF were writers.

Garden design, decorating, doing up old furniture, choral singing and cooking. Never could get enthusiastic about any form of needlework but admire other people's beautiful work.

I am not artistic as in being able to paint. I do think I can be quite inventive in practical matters. When the children were small I could get together imaginative fancy dress.

I have what I call my engineering solutions mode. Think about the "Problem" Think about what is needed to do the job and how you could make it or what you could do to adapt and improve it.

I can mend things quite well. DH insists my ideas will never work, but they do. A sliding stair gate, Lawn Drainage. Trunking to get power from the garage to my garden. I mended my late Dads hearing aid tube a few times by using the plastic sheaths from 3 core cable. DH cannot do the "think outside the box routine" at all.

I missed my opportunity really. Dyson got there first.

Jess I used to cook but now only do special occassions since himself took over. Not much good at anything really.

Cooking Kitty and movealot ?

Singing, running choirs, crochet, photography, knitting. Can't get enough of them all! I owuld be lost without them!

But I cannot paint or draw for toffee, unlike my DD2 who is brilliant at it (I am biassed!).
