Creativity Overload

Have you ever had one of those days where you just have so much you want to do, you don't even know where to start? I'm there, and I've been there all day. I am so creatively inspired today, I can't stand it. I have a mile long to-do list and shopping lists for Hobby Lobby and the best kept secret in the fabric world...well, atleast in Springfield anyway :) It's off Sunshine, but I'm at a loss for the name currently..oh FM, that's it!

This past winter, I convinced my mom to invest in CS4 from Adobe and I'm in HEAVEN with all the programs! I have been designing and designing and designing and....Mostly it's been little things for Baglady, but I've done a few things for some friends. Like this logo for a lawn service:
I was pretty proud of it. Especially the 'w' in 'lawn.' I'm a sucker for type. Anything I can do with type, I love. It's like art in and of itself.


I really wanted to start a collection of fabric headbands, but I'm pretty sure that's been put in the "not-original" pile. There's something about the texture and patterns you find on fabrics and how they are presented. Take this flower for example:

LOVE this. The danity pearl and laying the flower against the old pages of a book just make some fabric into something to feed the soul. Ok, that's corny, but some of you will know what that feels like to look at this and be inspired by it. I'll think of something to do with my stack of fabrics...maybe you'll find them at Baglady soon.

I have a new goal for my blog. It's going to my the start of my freelance work. I want to dabble in everything and I know there are people out there who want that special touch put on their business cards, invites for parties, announcments for graduations/baby showers/ engagments...I know there are places for these very things already, but who says choice is bad? Hopefully, my Easter break will be refreshing for the mind/body/soul and produce some pretty cool things for my porfolio and showcase items I've already done.

Until then...
