Inspired

I love being inspired. I’ve been working (slowly – I have a 19 month old that takes 99.9% of my time) on starting my own business and I am always curious what others are doing and are interested in. My brain starts twirling in all different directions. My heart beats a little faster, I get pretty excited. There are the sites I find through links and links from other sites like print & pattern.

Then there are the people I know and love doing amazing things like:

texturadesign, clip-n-seal, pugs, bikes and books!

The Beckerman Girls – you go girls! I was fortunate enough to work on a project with the Beckermans and love reading about them in the news.

Marcus – and beer

These goodies puts me in project heaven! We haven’t visited the peanut gallery in a while, but hope to stop by soon.
Stacey’s shop is amazing and the fact that she makes a ton of what’s in there is super impressive. I took a poncho class with her years ago (and now I am making one for my daughter), and I am amazed at her knowledge of knitting and apparel – not to mention textiles. Wish I was still in Brooklyn so I could visit – I’ll just keep reading her blogs.

I was so fortunate to work with Helane in a previous life, and to see Helane’s knitting shop grow – it’s really exciting and cool. Again – makes me wish I was still in NYC so I could spend some of my time knitting here.

Aimee, a long time friend who was able to start her own business, then help her husband launch his own business.

And there are so many more. To all my friends who make beautiful art and accessories, help to decorate the world and educate the world, and those who just make it all a better place – thanks for inspiring. You guys all ROCK!
