Oh dear... I do seem to be lagging...

So I started this blog to prompt me to action to post the things I make and try not to be too concerned with how they end up. Now I am flitting between projects, the ugly ducking dress, still not sure how I want it to look, two very contrasting ideas are swirling in my head and I am not sure which to choose, a new pillow for my recently refinished rocking chair and a bag that I envision myself carrying to get groceries from the summer farmers market. However my indecision has left me with little but scraps, the time has come to pick one! (to do first) Perhaps the bag? Perhaps I'll post sketches.... oh if only someone else could decide....

Oh procrastination how I love thee....

Well I started this blog to move me to action to regularly create things not just wish that I did. Which is not to say that the things that I will make are particularly interesting, noteworthy, or even nice to look. But I decided to have at it so here it goes.

A swan, I am still undecided about adding an eye on one hand a nice little sleepy eye would be lovely. On the other hand.... not sure. I want to make a sweet little dress for my niece when she is a little older. In a dove grey with this as a little pocket on the bottom. Simple, plain almost stoic it will be an ugly duckling dress.....

Snazzy new banner

I just put up a new banner I made. I like it I think, it grows on me and yet I am already itching for something new...maybe not too many other projects to ponder.

I suppose pictures would be helpful

In the past year I have been inspired by wonderfully creative people. My fantastically talented husband (check out doodlemachine.com) if you are interested and the creative people from around the internet.
So with a degree of trepidation I should post pictures of what I have done so far, ok I know this is not grandiose but here it goes...

T-shirts + fabric paint










(I am on a onesie)



Another problem emerges, what do I do with all of the stuff I make after I have made all I want for myself and friends. Etsy perhaps?

In specks and spots

For years I have been drawn to the world of creative pursuits, inspired by the wonderfully creative people around me and done little about it. Feeling frustrated... and so I am moved to action however small it may be.

And so what follows is a record of projects tried and progress made in fits and starts or specks and spots.
