    Oh yes Annette - I'm with you there.  I'm a major problem
    solver/fixer of things in the house - and I adore tools.  Was a math
    major in college, worked as a financial planner, but played the piano
    and painted for years, as well as sewing.  Grew up with a Dad who
    constantly "invented" things including our first and original
    electric lawnmower (mounted a table fan blade on a base with rubber
    wheels, sharpened the blade and plugged it in. Worked like a charm -
    of course no safety features but in 1940 who worried about safety
    anyway? 

    I definitely think practical, problem solving, visual people are
    often also artistic and creative.  Problem solving is a creative
    activity in and of itself. Architects are definitely creative and
    artistic (and problem solvers of major magnitude).  I personally
    think creativity is often borne out of necessity to explain or
    communicate something in a very visual and physical way (cave art
    comes to mind). 

    My very first foray into jewelry making was soaking china berries
    until they were soft and stringing them into a long necklace with
    flowers woven in between.
