Color Me Inspired!

Hello Friends,

This holiday season I dreamed of travel and visiting my Mother's house. The snow downtown in the city and blanketing the forest in her backyard has Colored Me Inspired to sew. Inspiration can strike at any time. I am inspired by photos so I wanted to share with you some photos that inspire me to sew.

The inspiration all began with a photo. I have a deep love of travel and seeing a retro airstream makes my heart melt. I love to dig through my vintage aqua Ball Mason Jars with Zinc lids to pull out ribbon scraps to make inspirational palettes on my design wall.

The colors of nature are mirrored in the downtown urban environment. The patterns and symmetry are calming to me. I get an overwhelming sence of calm with the silence in nature. Inspiration can hit you at any time. Sometimes you just have to stop and take a deep breath to see the beauty around you. The squirrel in the bottom right corner is Marcela's friend she made at the Luxe in Bloom photoshoot. He is proof that both worlds of urban and nature can come together and overlap to provide pefect moments.

    Thank you for this! Beauty really IS everywhere around us…I used to dream of having a house in some remote place, so that when I walk our dogs in the morning, I can enjoy beauty of nature. BUT – that is really everywhere around me, in my suburbia, in the downtown where I work, in the fields where we can escape during weekends – everywhere! I have my camera with me all the time – can’t pass up the inspiration! :)Here are some of mine:

    Megan, you write beautifully and that collage is just breathtaking – very photo montage meets table runner. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hi Marija,
    Your garden is just beautiful. I live in a townhouse at the moment and do not have such an amazing luxury. I am truly jealous of the beauty you have growing around you. Being in Florida I miss the transition of the four seasons. I used to love the drives though the back roads of Amish country in the autumn. Your dogs are adorable, it is so sweet that they enjoy road trips. I have a pet bunny who drives with me north to my mother’s house. He is a lot less enthused with the road trip idea. Thank you so much for your comment. It was so nice to meet you.

    Hello Lindsay,
    Thank you so much for your kind words. The idea of a table runner sounds like a perfect sewing project for me to do this weekend. That is proof that inspiration can truly come from anywhere, (even a kind comment on a post!)
    Thank you,
