Jennifer Paganelli has a wonderful list of inspirational words to think about everyday. Check out her blog, Sis Boom Day Dreams. She offered a workshop at her house this past weekend, I wanted to go sooooooooooooo bad, but alas, I could not. Read about what they did. I have always loved to make collages, and I started a serious one of my own. This is a saying I found in a magazine recently and that is my NEW MOTTO. "Live with what you LOVE and get rid of the rest!" I think it applys to fabric as well. I am going through my fabric and giving to charity all the fabric I thought I loved when I bought it, but now I don't!!!! It will free up more space for more fabric!!
It is on the first page of my new collage book! ~ notice the PINK dresser~ hey cool, I just found this little squiggle thing on my computer~~If you are in a creative slump, check out Jennifer's blog for inspiration. I have pasted a picture of the beach above my computer...(yes in the kitchen)....to inspire me not to be depressed about our weather.... I also put on my favorite music, VERY LOUD....(as I am from the hard rock era!) I love to listen to a softer CD called, Return to the Grand Canyon by Nicholas Gunn, but I do like to listen to it LOUD! What kinds of things do you do to get creative??????
p.s I am going to post my swap gifts next...you won't believe what I got!

I routinely sort my fabrics and give away the unloved ones. I have a friend who makes tons of charity quilts. She's thrilled when I deliver a bag. I keep telling my husband I want to retire to a pink house! Not sure he agrees.
Love the new moto!
great post.
Such a good motto, so hard to live by! Sometimes it's just hard not to be a pack rat, just in case you need the stuff one day! As I sort and pack up our home to move, I need to remember this motto!
I am so touched!!!!! I love your motto!!!!! You are so onto something big!! Thanks for sharing the power ofwords!!!
I saw your table topper over at the Moda Bake shop. Too cool.
Yay! I just saw your table topper in the Moda Bake Shop. Thanks!
I look at pictures online to inspire me. Sometimes I'll talk to my niece in Oregon, because she's a very creative person. And I read blogs like yours, Sheri! Thanks for the creative support! ;)
Thanks so much for the inspiration in this post...I read the Sis Boom blog too...but somehow missed the link to the words...so thank you! I'm all with you on the pink dresser, too!
