 Passion to create:

 The trick, if there is one, to making all this 'stuff' is wanting to do it!  I suppose the same is true with making cookies or most anything in life, the desire to do it must be there first and then the passion to do it well or enough to get it to be the way you want it.  Skill comes with practice.Welding is 5% theory and 95% practice.  It can be taught in five minutes but then it takes 2000 hours, about a year to get good at it.  I am sure it is the same with baking! or any art project.

 Thirty years of construction gave me a certain advantage to this trade.  I am very good with a measureing tape, figuring out degrees, making roof trusses and that sort of thing.  I also learned in construction the value of hard work and getting it done on time.  I have always liked, at the end of the day, to stand back, look at what I have done, see it from a distance and then to figure out the next step.

 The idea, really, is to just do it.  If it is welding or baking or gardening or painting or writing.  Devote time to it, even a little but on a regular basis, do it every day.  You will get good at it and produce more than you ever thought you could.  I often start my day with a small trellis, not a big project at all.  This gets me going and almost always leads to bigger projects that I have been thinking about.  You don't have to eat the whole thing!  just a little, everyday!
