creativity, with love


Happy Thursday, everyone!  I've had a lovely day making things for my Etsy shop.  Now, the house is a mess of fabric, ink, ribbon and glue.  It's a pretty mess, but a mess nonetheless!  And it's time for me to dash out and get the girls from school.  But I wanted to take just a minute to show you what I've been working on today.  

I wasn't sure what to work on when I got started, but I ended up with these drawstring bags with beautiful silk ribbon and "love" stenciled across the front in sparkly, metallic silver ink.  Won't these make wonderful packaging for Valentine's gifts - plus they could be used to store so many things during the rest of the year!

I also wanted to show you some of the snapshots I took while I was working.  Sometime, art supplies are so lovely just as they are, I hesitate to use them up.  My compromise with myself was to photograph them first, then use them. If I'm going to be an artist, I don't want to make excuses for not making things!

Anyway, I hope that your day has been as lovely as mine has, and that you're keeping warm and cozy wherever you are! 

Much love, Tracy
