My DH says I am not the least bit creative because every time I sew, quilt, bake, garden, paint, write, etc. I do my own thing instead of following a set pattern, or rule, or recipe, or guide of some type. He says creative means doing EXACTLY what the plan says and not changing it one tiny bit. I say if I want it the way someone else does I will do their way, if I want it my way I will do mine.
What are your thoughts on being CREATIVE?

this is the exact opposite of creative.
creative people develop/design original ideas and therefore rules/plans aren't even a consideration yet - they are developed along with the creative idea.
this is why people design an original quilt and then make it before they actually prepare and sell a pattern for the mass public to use.
