From Moo-Moo to MAH-velous
Social networking, Etsy, and blogs have really sucked up a lot of my time these days because I keep finding such cool stuff! Much of it has inspired me to try my hand at whatever it is, and to that end I spent .32¢ short of $100 (!) at Hobby Lobby yesterday, mostly on lino block printing supplies. If you’re not familiar with lino block printing, you can find a short YouTube video of it here. My inspiration for that comes from Fawne of Moment of Stars. I haven’t broken out the carving tool just yet, but I did use a little ready-made stamp in the shape of a baby chick I bought. I’m planning on home-making some invitations for a baby shower I’m hosting. I don’t like the way they look just yet, but I’ll post pictures when I do.
Today’s lightening bolt of inspiration came from Marisa, whose blog I stumbled upon through facebook or some other social media I’ve been cruising. Her blog is called New Dress A Day, and you guess it, she’s challenged herself to make one new dress per day for a year. Now, this part alone isn’t all that inspirational – it’s the budget and materials she uses that inspires me. With only a budget of $365 ($1 per dress!) she frequents thrift stores and goodwill shops and buys some of the most heinous moo-moos (don’t act like you don’t know what a moo-moo is; but just in case, urban dictionary’s definition: A rectangular cloth with crude stiching worn by morbidly obese persons) and turns them into chic, vintage-inspired outfits. I just may have to try my hand at this, too! Christian Women’s Center, here I come! (And this time my husband won’t get mad at the amount of money I spent on this crafty project!)
Happy Crafting!
