Ooh I'm so excited to take part in this! What a great way to think back over your year of creating. Crafting a Rainbow has been one of my favorite reads this year and I've really enjoyed her thoughts on color. I decided to start with these categories since they took the least photo collaging this late at night. :)
- Top 5 Inspirations: What books, people, blogs, trends etc motivated you this year?
- Steph of Sewing Cake Seeing her build a sewing business from the ground up and developing her own better system of pattern making has been truly an inspiration.
- Those Who Make I love relaxing to these videos and if I'm feeling a slump they're sure to reenergize me. The photos are pretty amazing too.
- Handmade by Carolyn Beautiful work, beautiful photos. They challenge me to do better without discouraging me with their perfection.
- Cation Designs, Heather B, These ladies posts always bring me a smile if not a great belly laugh.
- The Japanese Sewing Books blog and Japanese style. I really, really like it... or I just really really like moo moos. The jury's still out on this.... :)
- Top 5 Goals for the New Year
- make some menswear, preferable one of Thread Theory's ( I have skinny brothers)
- get a better handle on my colors and understand/find my style
- (more of a wish) sew myself something from a Japanese sewing magazine or book
- work on building a cohesive wardrobe. I know this is something that will not happen overnight but I'd like to head that direction.
- use up the stash so it ALL fits on the shelving I already own.
