My question for you: What are your thoughts on when an inspiration becomes creative theft? How do you use inspiration to then make something that's all your own?

Episode 28: Call of Knitting Zombies.
First of all, let me say that I've gotten a little education on Henry Ford and I think it's safe to say he was not into civil rights. Yikes. I'll talk about it briefly in Episode 29. I'd already filmed this before learning that. Yuck.
Otherwise, I'm back on track with regular podcasting and it feels nice to have more conversation going between us.
Also if you have kids around, don't watch the video after 1:11:32 . You can see a bit of my husband's Call of Duty game. It's gross.
