Inspired | New in the Shop

Sometimes, I find myself in a creative slump.  New laptop sleeves and iPad cozies to make, but lacking the inspiration to get the job done.  It's like writer's block for craft-y people.   Unfortunately, you can't force creativity.

Sometimes, I just need some COLOR!! 

That's when I get on my Pinterest and browse through my shop's inspiration board.  You wouldn't believe the difference it makes, just seeing all those different colors together, whether they be in nature, fashion, or the creative work of someone else.  This is a perfect example... 

That rich red coupled with the sparkling aqua blue in those three pictures inspired this laptop sleeve.

Is it creepy that I've been sitting here for several minutes, paused in my typing, just admiring those gorgeous colors?  I'm kind of loving this color combo, and especially the aqua blue, right now.

We had our first snow last night and this morning, but it didn't stick so it's not really official, at least in my opinion.  I'm kind of glad it didn't stick, although I do love snow.  Not quite ready to be snowed in yet.

I've been feverishly working on new items for the shop.  My Google chat status pretty much says it all...

"I'm trapped in a swirling vortex of yarn, crochet hooks and movies...this is fun!"

Inspiration hit me yesterday in the form of this picture on Pinterest...

As a result, I now have Granny Square Bunting in the shop!

I think it turned at pretty cute:)

The pictures could have been a bit better...a lot better, really.  

Outdoor pictures would have been awesome, but it was overcast, raining and just damp in general. 

And I'm not patient.

Could be worse...

Can any of my photographer friends give me some tips on taking indoor photos?  And, while you're at it, how to keep the colors accurate?  I'd be eternally grateful=)

I also listed five vintage Nancy Drew books.

That vortex is sucking me in again...

Have a lovely evening, y'all!
