The New To-Do

The other day I stumbled onto some crafty things done by very talented ladies. Unfortunately, the reason I found their blogs and their products was because I was researching how to do some of my latest ideas. Then BAM there they were, my ideas, all completed, in wonderful fabrics, selling out in minutes on someone else’s site. After dealing with some sinking feelings upon finding this, I looked a litte more closely at what they offered. I realized that yes, they were pretty much exactly what I wanted to create, BUT they weren’t my favorite colors, they weren’t 100% what I would do, or what I loved. This gave me a big, bright idea! I made a list to share with you of things that I truly cherish in life. I’m posting this list here, and I shall create at least 1 of each of these items, or share the experience artistically with you. So without further a-do, here is my list.

 
Things I love:
Presents wrapped in brown paper

Soft fabrics

Leaves 

The stars

Light and shadow

Lonesome trees

Beauty

Empty chairs

Baskets

Candle light

Simple things

Raindrops

Misty mornings

Nature

Handbound leather journals

Good friends

Family

Old cars restored

Creating treasures from old used items

Taking pictures

The sound of motorcycles

Costumes

Pottery

Walking in the woods

Stuff that makes one feel cozy

Boutiques

 

Creatures I love:
Pets curled up with you

Puppies & Kittens

Dragonflies

Sparrows

Lightening bugs

Foxes

 

Food I love:

Wine & cheese

Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies

Freshly baked bread

Meat and potatoes

Coffee & Tea

 

Colors I love:

Black & reds & browns

Thought of deep blue oceans and dark blue nights

 

Music I love:

Flowers I love:

Magnolias

Fields of tulips

 

I might add more here and there, but I think this is a good start. I know that there are many things that I people cherish in life that I’m leaving out. I’m hoping that this experience will inspire things in me and in others to create. Even in a world where most things have been thought of and already produced, perhaps just putting the YOU into it, it can be a fabulous, new lovely that brightens someone’s day.
