Inspiration Thursday

January 5, 2012 Leave a Comment

Welcome to the first Inspiration Thursday of 2012! Before I dive in to some of my favorite finds of the past month, I wanted to let you guys know about my new Instagram and Tumblr accounts. I joined Instagram because, well, all of my friends are on it, and it’s a really easy way share pics right to social networks. Much easier than taking pictures and repeatedly uploading them to each network I want to share them on. So far, I’ve been sharing cute pics of my dogs and husband, but I am going to start sharing previews of upcoming tutorials and works-in-progress too!

A number (numbr?) of Tumblr-ers have shared some of my projects with really nice things to say, and I realized I was missing out on that crafty bubble of the internet. I’m also using it to share funny memes, the latest of which is an animated GIF of Paula Deen riding a stick of butter.

And now for some inspiration!

Working on a sample for some upcoming videos. It’s an overcast day with intermittent sunshine & I have a scruffy little sidecar. 🐶 Can’t complain!

What’s on your needles this week?

Peg boards and craft room organization go together Peg boards and craft room organization go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, as you can see, do latch hook tools and screwdriver organizers! 🪛 
.
I think this trick translates to any tool with a thick handle, so leather working tools, punch needles, print making tools, etc. should work! What other tools am I, a needlecrafter, blanking on right now?

Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies, so getting a few hung in my new studio has been a priority. Here’s my first attempt. 🔨 
.
Details: This pegboard panel is for organizing my knitting needles, latch hook tools, sewing thread, etc. It doesn’t need to hold much weight, so I didn’t anchor this into a stud - just used basic drywall anchors. I’ve also got a set of two 2’x4’ panels for another spot in my studio, and those will need a stud/more than 3 drywall anchors. Wish me luck!

June’s face is giving, “What fresh heck is thi June’s face is giving, “What fresh heck is this?” 😆

June’s big ears can get cold in winter, so I’m improvising a doggie ear warmer/hood for her. What are the odds she tries to shred it immediately when it’s done?
