Creative Life Challenge - Day 9

DAY 9

Well it was another cold and cloudy day, not exactly inspiring weather. But even with the clouds, I managed to create some new "Ice Cream Sundae" braids for my shop. I have been having a lot of fun with these of late, and it was great fun creating a few more. Needless to say, they won't be the last! I also have a few more mini batts on the way, but maybe I can have fun with those tomorrow :-)


Happy Creativing!

Creative Life Challenge - Day 8

DAY 8

I would like to have had another really creative day again today, but unfortunately this blog post is as creative as it got. I don't know if it was because it was Sunday, and a need for rest, or the clouds that came over in the afternoon. I did manage to have a hunt at a shop and picked up a new big dyepot, but once it started to get cold not long after I got home, that was where the enthusiasm stopped. I did contemplate making some more batts early on, but again the cold... maybe tomorrow... after all, who can resist playing with colours!

I hope your day was creative even if mine wasn't that much.
Remeber, there is always tomorrow!

Creative Life Challenge - Day 7

DAY 7

The weather was a little brighter today and it is amazing how a bit of sunshine and good company can inspire creativity. I did a bit of spinning on two spindles that I had started a while back, both purplish of course. Then I blended a batt with lots of colours and started to spin that on a new spindle to show a friend. And then I showed another friend how to navajo ply using a spindle from the bobbin I did a few days back. So it was an exciting day with a surprising amount of spinning.

I really do love spinning on a spindle when awat from home. I love how portable and compact it is, and really it is easy to whip it out at different places and have a quick spin. It is amazing how quickly your crop can grow.

Is there a craft that you love but haven't had the chance to do for a while? Maybe you might be able to find a few moments to do something you love.

Happy creating!
