I continue to find reasons to love what I am doing and here is another one. Not only do I get to be exposed to the ingenuity and creativity of my neighbors. But, I also get observe what attitudes separate the people who create, from those who just never get around to it.
How I MADE It is a Show & Tell Event Series every 2nd Friday, monthly at MADE by Millworks.
How I MADE It is open to interpretation. How I MADE … a product, poem, story, or song, or even through a tough trial, a divorce, giving birth, being a single parent, grad school, traveling alone, a marathon or becoming what you dreamed. Stories can be told through poems, songs, and other creative means.
In December Tale Spin recorded How I MADE It, which included Sander Wolff, Dave Williams and Erin Foley. The highlights of their presentations are in the January 9, episode of Tale Spin.
