I like “resourcefulness as a daily practice” …They both apply, but the other sounds a little more crafy than practical to me.
“where inspiration meets transpiration”
And by the way, the name of your blog is really great.

I find your site very inspiring yet not too preachy. As a variation on “resourcefulness as a daily practice” perhaps “improvisation as an imaginative act (or practice).”
No rehearsing – just wing it!
I love the cook book too.
an invitation… to learn, discover, ponder, pause and play
Taglines are so…… conventional. Why not let people explore the blog until they figure out what the site is about? Perhaps the investigation/perusing/discovering is more in the spirit of the blog.
