Inspiration Tuesday #2
I thought I would give you a bonus inspiration post since I wasn’t able to post anything quilty today. What do you think about when you see this photo? It just looks calming to me, which is often what I … Continue reading
Inspiration Tuesday
Thanks to Doug88888 for allowing this to be shared. This is part of my effort to help you “see” inspiration wherever you are. I sometimes think I should get a fish tank just to keep me calm. I wouldn’t want … Continue reading
“Seeing” Inspiration
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my strategies for getting out of the Creative Desert. Getting out of the Creative Desert is different from seeking inspiration. Just because you are piecing a bunch of squares together doesn’t mean you … Continue reading
Inspiration Thursday

Inspiration Monday
Just to clarify: I saw this flower at the Embarcadero. It is not called an Embarcadero Flower.
Inspiration Sunday
I stopped at Mollie Stones yesterday and saw this display of plates and dishes. I thought it looked so cheerful that I had to take a photo. If I had a country house, I would have cheerful dishes like this.
Not Gloating
I love books, am coming to love eBooks and Kindle books, but I just generally love books. I try not to buy too many regular fiction books as the Library has a perfectly good collection and I, mostly, don’t read … Continue reading
Inspiration Saturday
I was walking the wrong way down Church Street trying to find a shop I had never visited. I happened upon this little flower shop and was charmed. The display is wonderful! I am pretty sure (not being a plant … Continue reading
