My Creative Space

Taking over the derby world, one butt at a time!

 My creative space is full of derby shorts commissions this week, which is exactly how I like it!
 I love sewing for derbygirls because choosing your 'boutfit' (the uniform in which you skate) is a real creative endeavour, it expresses who you are and celebrates difference.

So this week I've been doing bold yellow stars, nostalgic girly ruffles, and sporty silver speed stripes.

  And a little bit of quilting for myself on the side :)

Head over to kootoyoo for more creative spaces!

My Creative Space

My creative space this week contains caraway cracker dough.  I love making crackers, rolling the dough so thin when you pick it up to put it on the tray it drapes like embroidered crepe de chine and the light shines through it.  This flavour was pronounced by adults to be 'delicious', and pronounced by spawn to be 'Um... I don't really like it'.

Also in my space, painting of one kind and another, and working on sashing for the Bluebird quilt.
Hope everyone else over at Kootoyoo is feeling inspired warm and safe!

My Creative Flurry

I seem to go in waves of flurried industry followed by doldrums of heavy inactivity.  At the moment I'm in a storm of production...

Working on derby skirts for a derby friend, and cutting out leaves to applique onto my quilt of disarray.

Experimenting with different ways to emblazon derby names on different garments.

Blogging and being unwittingly photographed in the early hours of the morning...

By the spawn who hijacked my camera (again!)
I wonder who else is feeling inspired over at Kootoyoo?

My Creative Space

This week, (a bit late due to 'technical difficulties) my creative space has involved experimenting with different flavours in my new savoury cracker recipe.

So far, the sesame has got to be the winner!  But I've yet to try the caraway...

I've also been inspired by the sunny weather to begin work on a refashion of this robe, I thought the fabric was too "groovy" to be confined to my house, so it is slowly turning into a retro-style mini dress.  More pics when its finished!
 I'm going to check out more creativity over at Kootoyoo!

(I Thought It Was) My Creative Space

I thought it was My Creative Space...but I found this when I uploaded my photos...

Its a photo I didn't take, featuring my 3 year old son's truck, and the magnet that opens the childlock on the TV cabinet, both hiding under MY sewing machine. 

This is what I have been working on.  Scary huh? Tune in tomorrow to see how it turns out!

See what Kirsty's noticed next, over at Kootoyoo.

My Creative Space

This week I'm feeling a bit frustrated, what with the elephant that won't sit, I've lost my wool needle, and Ray G is hanging around, and I think its time I let go of him!

I have been thinking about a onesey in the 70's stripe, and I've been trialling some lettering for some aprons...
I'm going to try and get some creative mojo back by visiting all the creative spaces over at Kootoyoo!
