I recently joined the 'Creative Every Day' challenge. The theme for March is 'nest' and I decided to take it literally. I wanted to try my hand at making a nest charm and let's face it, I rarely need an excuse to make myself a new piece of jewellery. The eggs in my nest are three freshwater pearls. I've teamed the nest charm with green aventurine round beads, prehnite cube beads and flowers made from amazonite and rose quartz. I think the result is rather spring-like. I just need some spring weather to go with it.

Today I started a new challenge, well, new to me. Creative Every Day has been running since 2008. It was started by Leah Piken Kolidas "to help infuse my life and lives of others with daily creativity". You can participate through your blog, your Flickr account, through Twitter or just by leaving a comment on the CED site . "Creativity is meant in the broadest sense, so it doesn't have to be something art related. Your creative acts could be in cooking, taking pictures, knitting, doodling, writing, dancing, decorating, singing, playing with your kids, brainstorming ideas, gardening, or making art in the form of collage, paint, or clay...or whatever!" Can I be creative every day? Hell, yes!
