listing on eBay to keep myself preoccupied.
I like to collect. Most of my collections are crafts. Sewing patterns, needlepoint patterns and kits, beads, buttons and all sorts of craft items. I also like to collect anything that is vintage that appeals to my eyes.
I draw inspiration from these items. Either I make the item from the pattern, or I create something new, that comes to mind by the picture or by touching the items.
Sometimes it is years before I get around to looking at a pattern or kit but once I do, then I draw from that inspiration and create or jot down possibilities.
For instance:
What a great idea for little crochet dolls or animals, or a pocket full of crochet flowers. It's just an all around great pattern and what a great way to re purpose a pair of worn out jeans.
I am trying to be more diligent about getting through all my crafts. I am sure there are those that would like to utilize the pattern and I have been feeling a little selfish about putting them in a tote and not working my collections a little faster.

What inspires you?
