my creative space

On the creative front this week, lots of sewing, printing, and card making. I think I had kind of lost my way with the creative side of things, or more to the point, creating the creative stuff! So this week, I have been madly making. It's been good. Ideas have been given shape, and I am feeling re-inspired.I've made these 'heart me' fold over skirts - they're off to Olive Grove tomorrow (if you follow this link, the shop is looking very different now. It's had a bit of a makeover, and has lots of new stuff in store).Also in my space, gorgeous handmade wooden buttons. I took some more cards and badges into The Friendship Tree the other day, and couldn't resist buying them.Op shopping today, I bought a bunch of vintage books with really tragic covers. I love them. I have future crafty plans for these. The cover of this one is classic. Inside, it covers all the essentials like 'artificial sex' and 'how to make people like you'. A must read for any modern teenage girl!!To have a peek into the creative spaces of other people, visit Kirsty over at Kootoyoo.

Those buttons are so beautiful they deserve a project created especially for them (not that I'm trying to put more stress in to your life!)...

Wow, you have been productive! I'll look forward to my fortnightly stop in at Olive Grove to check it all out... is that Ikea fabric on the skirt?!
And those books, wow. Are they for real?!
PS I'm SO not going into business with all the stamping... just having fun for when I give stuff away.
