Community

Today's inspiration is Community

Last night I was thinking about community, about being in fellowship with other people.

Fellowship found through common interests, common friends, or even common technology.

This morning I spotted my daughter's wobbly toys, she's decided she doesn't like them in her room so they are now in my room, she rearranges them each time she walks past.

A small community or wooden exiles.

I wonder what they are planning?

i-365 inspiration on Pinterest

Week 1 round up

At the end of my first week of blogging my daily inspiration and ideas I would like to share with you what I have created this week.

• A heart shaped cushion embellished with lace and buttons.
• A miniature heart embroidered with the letter "a"
• A school pinafore for my daughter with pockets and button details.

I hope that sharing my ideas inspires you to play and create.

Secrets

 Today's inspiration is Secrets

We all keep secrets, big ones or small ones.  

We might hoard them like treasure or we might whisper them on the wind to carry like exotic seeds to new lands.

When I looked for images for my i-365 Pinterest board for Tuesday's prompt of scale, there were many worlds created in miniature that they reminded me of Alice in Wonderland or Gulliver's Travels.

What secrets do we keep?

What worlds do we create?

Scale

 Today's inspiration is Scale.

I woke up and wanted to make some tiny embroidered hearts.  

I imagined an alphabet made of tiny hearts, a bowl of miniature lavender filled hearts, a garland of impossibly small hearts.

Yesterday as I drafted the pattern for my daughter's school pinafore I thought of giant buttons on the shoulder tabs, the kind of quirky detail that makes you smile when you see it.

Playing with scale can add a subversive twist to our designs and transform our creations.
