I have always had a project of some type going. Sewing for the house, sewing for the kids, sewing for a special occasion. Right now, I am leaning into knitting,and spent the snow week making my first sweater. My inspirations vary. I may see a piece of fabric I love, and am motivated to find a way to make it part of my life. Or there is an outfit I love on Pinterest, and wish to replicate it. And, at times, there is just a plain need for something. I have always thought of myself as a practical creator — my goal is a useful finished product that is also pleasing to the eye.
