Ever since I started knitting 4 years ago, I always have a project. So I'm always making something! Most days I can carry it with me everywhere I go, and get in a few rows.
But knitting, at least for a novice like me, still requires following specific directions. Creativity to me, is in the opposite direction.
Today, I'm packing my travel watercolors--one of 50 gifts I've been buying myself this year to celebrate my milestone birthday. If you think you can't paint, especially with watercolors, I think you've got to run right out and buy yourself a set. (If you really can't see your way to that yet, try finger paints!)
And try this: forget about landscapes and still lifes. Just dip that brush in water, let your instinct guide you to color, and scribble and doodle your way around the page.
I promise you, it's delightful!

Have a colorful, creative day!
