I'm working on a vest for me and a cardigan for my little man! $7.00 + 7 sweaters = loads of crafty time! This time of year I want to work on warm things like making soups and chilies for the freezer and apple butter for the pantry! I'm not ready for it to stay cold yet, but I do love when we can have the first fires of the year!!!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12675830033695986836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017067599350267604.post-48467175541615187862009-09-22T06:49:59.847-04:002009-09-22T06:49:59.847-04:00I am inspired but the sudden changes and fissures ...I am inspired but the sudden changes and fissures in my life. I moved to Germany with my family to allow my partner to follow his dream. In preparation for our move, I evaluated everything , and I mean everything, we owned and decided if it was important to me. For the first time in years, I have time to think rather than try to balance family, work, friends, and the hustle of Washington DC. I am using this time to tackle the long list of things I want to create and learn but somehow the list keeps growing as I see more of the world. <br /><br /> More concrete inspiration has I am inspired by the wonderful children's clothing I have seen on the streets in Germany and France.Melanie Egorin (melanie_egorin@yahoo.com)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017067599350267604.post-765152059084136782009-09-21T22:23:46.634-04:002009-09-21T22:23:46.634-04:00I would love to win these beautiful pieces!

These would be oh so adorable on my little one year old in all sorts of ways. <br /><br />I have been inspired a ton by moving all the books from our guest room and relocating them to a really great place in our living room and then using the guest room shelf for all kinds of perfectly packaged craft supplies ... baskets, leather boxes, tins, jars... every time I look at it I think about how much I want to make something. It also forced me to sort through my unfinished projects and I have been steadily finishing them.<br /><br />I for some reason just found nienie but I think there is nothing more inspirational to me right now - her journey over the past 13 months is unspeakable - but she does right for the whole world to read! http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/chrisnjoenavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824776483246605320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017067599350267604.post-77780325985500331372009-09-21T01:25:57.263-04:002009-09-21T01:25:57.263-04:00My Mom inspired me.

She just visited me and while she was in town I worked on fixing a doll hairstyle and painted a teapot (at a paint your own china place here in town). I also have almost finished a new prayer shawl and have lots of new doll making ideas.

I have three little ones and I have so very many things that I want to make for them! I am hoping to pull of birthday books for each of them, like the one in Amanda Soule's book The Creative Family, beginning with the baby who turns one this week. I am also knitting furiously to make Christmas Stockings for the younger two. I have so many projects swirling around in my head, nearly all of which are kid related, in one way or another.

As far as blogs go I am starting to feel overwhelmed... but I love that wonderful log cabin quilt that Soulemama just made for her daughter. And everything about Gardenmama's blog is inspiring me these days, even though there aren't really any specific sewing posts.
