What does creative look like in daily life?

Putting this quality into practice
Morgan’s child needs a solar system model by tomorrow, and every craft store is closed. The kitchen offers oranges, peppercorns, foil and a long piece of string. By bedtime, Saturn is a clementine wearing a cardboard ring. Being creative is not producing a museum piece. It is letting ordinary objects reveal jobs nobody assigned them before.
Being creative does not require perfection. Practice matters more than performance.
Where are you already practicing being creative, even if nobody else has noticed?
