I had been thinking that I would be for Inspiration. But in fact it's for incitement. As in 'Oh but DH, it's all thrifty knitter's fault! Her great blog had me slavering over wool, and carding machines, and smelly fleece, and oh, I must go because I think the Alpaca delivery man is at the door...'
I love starting new things. Therefore I have WIPs all over the house. I'm not so good at finishing. I'm not even going to list all the projects I want to start, and the crafts I want to try. Well, here's a couple...
- Precious metal clay - (this also includes a torch for firing, which I could possibly use for making the earrings that are floating around in my head as a concept at the moment - waiting for the silver chain on back order from Cooksons). I used to make a lot of jewellery from Fimo, and I would love to try remaking some of those projects in silver. But I'm not allowing myself to do that until I make the dummies in Fimo.
- Fimo - magnets for my mum to brighten up her kitchen. Possibly flowers and a watering can. Not quite sure where that came from. But little bright scenes, I think. But must try to avoid getting sucked into the world of miniatures, no matter how cute they are...
- Charlotte's quilt - as detailed in a previous post, I'm going to make my first baby quilt. No idea what I'm doing, but hey I did some patchwork approximately twenty-three years ago. Surely it will come back to me (ha hah hahhahahah)
- learning to crochet using The Happy Hooker. It's certainly a bit of a challenge. Methinks I need a class, or a friendly teacher...
- Freezer paper stencils - have the supplies. Now need to find the right image.
Didn't get any creative stuff done yesterday, apart from rearranging the kitchen. Now I have my own craft press! (I think that's solely an Irish usage - most people would call it a cupboard). Looking forward to filling it to the brim, muah ha ha....
