Listing, Listing, Listing

My Daughter and her Dad are making great time on their cross country trip. Once they make it to their destination, I can get back to a normal routine, until then I am busy:

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?  

With Grace,

Debra
