I've got to go back to teaching tomorrow, and while I do love my job, I love crafting just a bit more. I was so worried that creating for my Etsy store would take the joy away from making all these wonderful things, but the feedback I've gotten just adds fuel to the fire. I've been pushing myself to come up with new designs today, and I pulled out a few stops...
It's really amazing what we can create with the things we have at home. Upcycling. I once read that upcycling is "turning useless crap into even more useless crap." I have to disagree. All of these items were upcycled from tossed sweaters- cashmere, merino, wool. Those natural fibers are never worthless. So, I've been upcycling my butt off all week. Do any of these look like useless crap? I hope not.

I've finished alot more, but I'm waiting for my dearest hubby to get home and take some decent pictures. I hate taking pics alone. No fun at all!
So, what inspires you to create? I just love natural fibers. I love color. I love creating something out of something else.
What do you love to do? Share!
