Creative Inspiration

Tomorrow I am going to sew.  Yup, it's been a while since I've pulled out my sewing machine.  But I think it's time.  I found this AWESOME pattern --> Sewing Pattern - Tunic Top and picked up some great fabric!  Which I will post some pictures of tomorrow once it's washed and pressed.  One is a lovely cream eyelet, with a scalloped bottom.  The other is a dark gray blue colour.  I've also got a very lovely pale creamy grayish pink drappy fabric that I found in my fabric stash that might make a nice one as well.  I figure if I'm going to cut one pattern out I might as well cut out 3 of them!
I saw this great top very similar to the pattern at a boutique style store in our town, I totally fell in love it, but not the price tag!   The top cost as much as the pattern, fabric and all the supplies to make 3 tops!

What do you do to get those creative juices going?  What inspires you?

Me it's the fact that I can see something in a store I know I can make! LOL!

Maybe I'll do one of these tops in a cute patchwork style.. hmmmm...

Interview: Marie Claremont & Giveaway!

2011 Golden Heart winner Máire Claremont first fell in love with Mr. Rochester, not Mr. Darcy. Drawn to his dark snark, she longed to find a tortured hero of her own… until she realized the ramifications of Mr. Rochester locking his frst wife up in his attic. Discovering the errors of her ways, Máire now looks for a real-life Darcy and creates deliciously dark heroes on the page. Oh, and she wants everyone to know her name is pronounced Moira. Her parents just had to give her an Irish Gaelic name.

I adore the contrasts. The absolute morality of the time veiled so much going on underneath. It was a time of secrets. And on a shallow note, I adore the gowns. 2.  Tell us somet...
