Recently, I decided to take inventory of all my supplies (sewing, crafting, scrapbooking, etc...) and I discovered that I have a lot of stuff! Then, I made a list of everything I could think of that I can make. And voila! Magic happened. Revelation struck. I don't have to buy anything to make something. Now this may not sound like much, but it is huge for me. See, I have this little habit: every time I start a new project it almost always involves going to "pick up some things".
And I am (without going any further into my deep psychological need to stockpile and "collect") ready to crack down and get creative for this Christmas. Which is awesome, but how do I blog about all the projects I am working on without ruining Christmas surprises!?!??! That's what I've been racking my brain, trying to figure out. I will keep you posted on what I decide.
In the meantime, I tried a technique that I read about for transfering images to fabric that I want to tell you about! It's super easy and if you haven't thought of it, after reading this you will think you always knew it! (does that make sense?) Ready for this?! Use your computer as a light box! For my first attempt, I used white fabric, taped it to my computer screen, and traced away. It's the perfect remedy for creating an outline for embroidery, say. But it could also be used for painting fabric.
If you have any other ideas of how you would employ this nifty trick, please let me know!
