I’ve got a small collection of works-in-progress in my creative space this week, and this time it’s actually intentional and not a case of crafty ADD. I’ve been spending time sitting on the couch prepping projects while I watch TV with the huz. Now they’re all sitting there, ready to go when the inspiration strikes. [...]

I have been finishing off stalled out projects like a madwoman and can finally move on to something I’ve wanted to try ever since I first saw it: Kirsty’s granny shrug. I used Bernat Roving for this one, with a 11.5 mm (P) hook (after some serious experimenting with hook sizes). I’m down to the [...]

This week I’m making some sort of hybrid fabric box/drawstring bag creation of my own as-you-go design. I’ll explain more when it’s finished. I’m also taking photos along the way in case it’s worth turning into a tutorial in the end. Time will tell. More spaces, more creativity, more inspiration at Kirsty’s every week!

It’s been a very productive week, and now I’m going to slow the pace down for the long holiday weekend. There are lots of family activities in the works, but before we get wrapped up in all of that, I’ve got one more project to finish: filling beanbags. And that will be one more Christmas [...]

I’m working on carving some rubber stamps this week. In my usual fashion, I’m attempting something that’s a little beyond my reach. I haven’t practiced enough to be good at fine detail or small designs, but that’s exactly what these are. It’s a practice-on-the-spot sort of thing. I’m getting a little tired of doing the [...]

There’s been a lot of stitch-picking in my creative space this week. Yeah, it’s been one of those days. But I did finally put the wraps on some hand-bound journals and some fabric pouches, all of which are destined to go into gift sets for Christmas … which means that’s about all I can say [...]

For the month of July I’ll be taking a little time off from regular blogging. Instead, I’ll be playing along with habit’s community participation project via their flickr pool. I’ll be posting to the pool as I feel inspired, but also here on my regular Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule. I hope you’ll enjoy the change of pace; [...]

I’m still shaking the sand out of my shorts, so rather than show you that vaguely creative mess, would you mind some shots from last week’s space? Sigh. As always, there’s a party going on at Kirsty’s place. Surf on over if you fancy some more creativity.
