Inspiration brought to you by

The Crafts Dept. @ Martha Stewart. Not that I have the time to do this but I would love to have a book where I keep different stitches, craftiness, etc. This book looks like pure eye candy!



Mirror Mirror has these cute little Easter tree decorations. I didn't know there was an Easter tree but these would be cute for a lot of different things. I spotted my picture on her site too which was funny.



March is Button Month over at Craft Stylish. I want to put up a project to start promoting my new book, Button and Stitch: Supercute Ways to Use Your Button Stash. It's not out until the end of the year but I want to start promotion soon. This cute headband is the latest addition to tons of button projects shared daily.



I just sent a bunch of leather scraps to my friend Betsy but I wish I had seen this project first...I could have sent her an owl along with the scraps.



I really wish I had known about the candy shop, Papabubble the last time I was in NYC. I have no plans to visit anytime soon so hopefully I will remember by the next time I go. Just read about on Kayte's site. I love this photo. This candy reminds me of Friends with You



There are some great tutorials on Oh Fransson on various quilting topics. She makes beautiful quilts too so lot's of eye candy over there.



Look at this BEAUTIFUL embroidered envelope I found on Feeling Stitchy. Embroidered by Kajin. I really can't get over it.



Inspired?

The Lab



Alright folks, I am feeling really inspired by last night's panel discussion at The Lab. Last night's topic was about Blogging. I was really excited to hear what these well read ladies had to say. Megan of Not Martha was on the panel. Megan is a very well read, old school blogger. I have had the pleasure of meeting Megan several times but I loved learning more about her, her blog and how she views blogging in general. What I have always loved about her blog is that it is her. She has good taste, she shares her projects and her site is very simple and user friendly. Above all she is a very nice person and always fun to talk to. If you are not a fan yet, what are you waiting for?

It is always a pleasure to chat with Mary T of Shelterrific who was also on the panel. As always, Mary has a great summary of last night's event so click the link to see what she has to say about being a successful blogger. I met Mary shortly after her and her husband moved here from Ohio where I am from as well as Megan. Mary is so nice to always make it an appoint to introduce me to various newcomers of Seattle. Such as Tula of Whorange who immediately has become a new obsession of mine. Holy hell that woman has amazing taste! Tula is visiting this week from LA and I hope that she is able to make it over to Schmancy for at least a quick hello.



Then there was Elaine of Deorno. Now this will be a weird confession but I think one thing I admire about her is that she has no shame in her game. I like that if she doesn't like something she says it. Nothing needs to be sugar coated with her and you have got to admire a girl who says "that's ghetto" and isn't afraid to say "fuck" in her posts...or at least I do. She's got a great sense of good design and she's hilarious to boot. What more do you really want out of blog reading?

Last we have Paola from Mirror Mirror. Unfortunately it was a bit hard to hear her but I thought what she said was really interesting. She has an awesome blog and was at the last event so I hope to see her at the next event and perhaps get to talk with her a bit more.

Needless to say I want to set up a poll system so the site is a bit more interactive and perhaps set up a few more things to make this site more useful to you all. If you have any suggestions of what you might like to see up here please let me know.

Lastly, I will be on the next panel at The Lab along with the fabulous Made By Moxie and the talented Hansi. We will be not only discussing the Plush You! show and how that has come about but we will be talking about crafting, selling your goods, etc. It should be a great night. I'll talk more about it as time approaches.
