Inspiration

Lately I haven't had any inspiration until I talked to my Etsy soul mate, Lynnette (from http://originalsbylynnette.etsy.com & http://ohtwovintage.etsy.com) and she got me back to sewing. I am changing it up a bit and making reverseable aprons, wine gift bags, and reusable shopping bags. I will have them listed in my store soon!

Now to talk about one of my favorite artists on etsy, LaMaga, http://lamaga.etsy.com - She has beautiful & very original pieces of art. In fact I bought two pieces from her and hopefully i'll go to Ikea today and buy some picture frames for them!

My Baobab


Magical Forrest

I also have an original painting by Ali J. from http://aussiepatches.etsy.com. She has a very unique style and I absolutely love her girls! I hope that I will be able to buy a few more originals from her before she becomes too famous and I won't be able to afford anything any more!

Sleeping Bird

That's all for now! Hopefully i'll find some pretty frames at Ikea!

Wooohooo its Friday!

So its finally Friday and only 2 days left of my pre study course! So you know what that means - Wine party! LOL, nothing big, just a few friends from school, drinking wine and relaxing after a long, boring week! yay!

oh time just flies by...

I think you know that you're getting old when the days and weeks just fly by. My birthday is in exactly 3 weeks, and I still remember last year's birthday as if it were 3 months ago! My pre-study courses are still going on, so I just sit and listen to the lectures all day, study during breaks and when I come home i'm too exhausted to really do anything - I don't even have the energy to sew. Hopefully when I get into the groove of things I will set my school time, social time and creative time so that I am able to enjoy/do it all. It feels weird not sewing every day, and I am specifically not sewing because I don't want to create mediocre things; when I sew I want to make sure that I am creating the best items possible! <3

First entry

So, this is my first entry into my 'nitelily' blog...I should try to keep one of these up to date and a way to get all those racing thoughts out of my head! So I just finished my second week of the 'prestudy' courses for medical school..I feel like I should be studying more, but I'm still not fully into the groove yet. I have also cut down my sewing time, to just the weekends after I get all my work done..hopefully i'll be able to keep up with my constant need to sew! Oh just so many things to do right now, that I am actually being lazy and not doing much instead!
