Some inspiration…
For the first time this year, I sewed yesterday! I only fixed some curtains and broken bag handles, but still. I used my vintage Japanese machine and I love it! I think I’m going to pack my Singer away and use this one from now on. I need to get it serviced though.
Anyway, I have been very inspired lately, looking around and noticing, for what feels like the first time, the colors of spring. When I was growing up, Daffodil Hill was the place to be in early spring. The bright yellow and green made me feel so invigorated. Now, the colors of my spring time are pinky purple (the Redbuds) and the lime-y, shocking green of other trees. I get that same happy feeling I did as a child…even if my eyes are watery, I’m sneezing, and I haven’t been able to smell anything in a week, haha.
Flickr is another great place to find your muse. I have a ton of favorites. All bright, cheery, and colorful. You can’t help but smile when you look at the photos. And with that, I’m off to make something!

I love your favorites. I think I need to spend some more time on there.
