Well, I'm in a designing slump..............no motivation................no inspiration...............nothing happening! I guess we all get that way at times. I've even purchased new scrapbooking magazines to "stir the emotions!" Nothing happened! {sigh} I haven't even been doing any scrapbooking! I am MONTHS behind on my 365 project, too! {sigh} I haven't even been taking pictures every day! {sigh} That is bad, especially considering I'm known by some members in my family as the "crazy camera lady!" {sigh} I'm looking for a miracle within the week for some BURST of energetic inspiration since the new month is looming on the horizon! I pray it comes!
Though I haven't been inspired to do any digital designing work, I have been inspired by some crochet patterns I found free on the internet! My dad used to say, "If it's free, it's for me!" And since I am not working, I have really adopted that philosophy! I have a new granddaughter and will have another grandson arriving in November, so I've been surfing the web for free sewing/knitting/crocheting patterns. I have found several of each that I will be working on in the near future...........I have to begin soon because I'm bad about waiting too long on these types of projects! Anyway, I did stay up all night on Thursday to finish this little set for my granddaughter! I found a dress pattern and tweaked it a bit to make a little summer outfit. The top on the pattern was solid, so I decided to open it up a bit and added the little flower button. Then I searched the web for a pair of bloomers to go underneath. The pattern was for some "soakers" that I changed a bit to give the ruffle to the legs. I will probably tweak it some more because I don't like the joining seam in the very front. Then I found a headband and some sandals and Voila! I have a cute little summer outfit for our new little Abigail! I used the kit I created in her honor, "Abigail." You can find it in the store by clicking on the layout! So, while I haven't been digitally motivated, it hasn't all been a loss! :)
Thanks for stopping by Today! And if you have some "inspiring" ideas, please leave me a comment! I'd like to follow up on them! Have a great weekend!
Hi Vicky! I can relate!!! Get out of the house, read a good book on creativity (I'm reading Twila Tharp's), do something other than scrap (I'm sewing today, you're crocheting), go to coffee with a friend, check out the links on creativity that I posted in the Faith Sisters' forum. Browse Pinterest. Take a break!
ReplyDeleteI need to get caught up on P365, too. I'm 2 weeks behind. I hope to get up-to-date today, but so far it's not looking promising (I'm taking out a faulty buttonhole instead!)
I love love love your little baby items--well done!
