My Musical Drawers

Just because that title makes me laugh like a goober, thinking about, "Beans, beans, the musical fruit. . . ."

No, these are actual drawers, those drawers I've been altering to store embroidery floss, remember? And I posted on Facebook that I couldn't load them with floss because we had this game with them? Well, Clarice didn't want to be in this video--she's in the background, deciding whether or not it's too hot to race around madly--so it's just me and the drawers. Musical drawers, which are nothing like musical chairs.

The reason I love this so much is that it just proves the point I'm always trying to make: creativity is in you. It's everywhere. It's how you look at stuff and what you carry in your head. Something catches your interest, you follow it. What would happen if you did this? Or what about this? How could you use it? What might someone else do with it?

A kid would have picked up on this right away. An adult, maybe not. I'm mostly kid--very little about me is mature except my physical self. Things capture my imagination, and I hope that by sharing some of that, you'll allow things to capture yours, too.
