Inspiration x 2

Hope you had a great week and are ready for a wonderful weekend. This week one of my buddies turned me on to a blog that I had not run across yet.  I am so happy to have found Happy Together.  This young women has it going on.  She is amazing.  I love everything she does.  This is just the inspiration I have been searching for to get me kick started again.  I've been stumbling around in the land of the crafting lost for a while now looking for something different to do.  I don't know about you but I have to be doing something crafty constantly or I feel empty.  My Auntie J is always a great source of inspiration.  I think we would agree we have been searching for some inspiration together for while now.  Just looking through Jessica's blog gets the crafting juices flowing.  The very first day I went through her blog I had to run home and make petal bags.  I stayed up late and finished 2 - here are my versions. 
Today I had to make sure I had supplies to make crocheted hair bows over the weekend.  I think I'm set. 
Thank you Jessica for inspiring me!  I think you're great!!

Someone else who inspires me is the Urban Muser.  She is a wonderful photographer and knitter. Check out GibKnitty from New York City and see for yourself.  She recently posted her Hydrangea Hoodie that I fell in love with.  I had to run out and get yarn and start working on my own for Grand Baby (who by the way is still AMAZING). Here is my work in progress -
  
 
Sorry it's inside out and pinned up right now.  But I hope to get it finished this weekend.  I have enjoyed knitting this and hope it turns out as cute as the GibKnitty's did.  I'll post a finished picture soon (I hope).

All of this inspiration is keeping me busy and that is a good thing.  I am enjoying seeing new ideas and want to thank all of you who share you creativity.  Keep up the good work!

Have a groovy weekend!

  3. You were correct. The bags were sooooooo cute.
    I had my doubts when you told me about it. I was wrong. I loved the blog site. It has so much to drool over. You did a wonderful job on your bags. I wish I was 5 instead of .......
