I thought I’d share with you some of the things that inspire me to be so crafty. So here is the first and probably biggest inspiration for me …
Magazines !!
Those that know me know that I have a bit of a magazine addiction! Not just crafty mags but home mags, fashion, cooking, gardening, computer mags … you name it and I’ve probably got at least one edition! My favs have to be Quick and Crafty, Country Living, Simply Knitting, Crafts Beautiful and Eve. Obviously I buy several others too :0)
I love nothing more than saving my magazine for the weekend and curling up on my favourite chair in my kitchen with a fresh cup of coffee and a good cd in the background.
Today I did just that. I bought this months Quick and Crafty a few weeks ago in London and have been saving it for a day like today. It’s been lashing rain the whole day and the wind has been howling (a typical Irish summer) so when I got up this morning I made some fresh coffee and a toasted bagel and curled up in my chair with Randy on my lap and got lost for a few hours listening to one of my fav cds of the moment, Boys & Girls.
Of course, as always after reading a magazine, I was then buzzing with ideas and inspiration so I’ve spend the entire day catching up on craft projects .. see posts below.
