How about that blue toadstool up there? I have never seen anything like it. Love it!

It has been a week of no sewing or crafting for me and I will admit that it has been a nice break :-) I’m feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the remaining things on my To Make/Craft list for 2009 (including a few Christmas presents - someone told me it was only 35 days or so away?!).

I’ve finally caught up on my blog reading. I’ve missed a  lot of good stuff while I was working on the show. Here are just a few of the things that have really inspired me/got me excited about making again:

>> New paintings by Amy Sol entitled “Wilderness Buffet

>> Anna Maria Horner’s Little Folks Dobby Dots fabric

>> Hop Skip Jump’s Jack Rabbit softie pattern is now available!

>> Jamfancy has a new blog AND her prints are now available on etsy! Yay!

>> My Paper Crane’s dolls and photo shoot for her Christmas cards. Wow.

>> Very, very much looking forward to Helen Dardik’s “Mod Kitchen” range that she has designed for P&B Textiles!

>> Softie pattern for Jodie’s gorgeous elephant softies, Parsley & Beet, is now available too!

>> Beautiful new tulip and bird prints from Tiel

>> The artists and the artwork that make up the “Once Upon A Time Exhibition”, held to celebrate Leeloo’s 2nd Birthday.

Hope you enjoy that little list! Would you like to share what’s been inspiring you/getting you excited about making lately?

    Pretty picture and interesting list. I’ve enjoyed some of those posts as well this week and glad to see a few others.

    Hi Jhoanna!
    What a pretty toadstool. Beautiful colour isn’t it?
    Sometimes you just need to have a break from sewing and crafting. Now your all ready to go for the busy season.
    I really enjoy reading your blog.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Wow! It’s a little hard to believe that toadstool colour is real.
