I have a new fascination for all things cardboard. (It's my new burlap!)Since opening the store 99% of anything creative I do seems to be shop related. I do make things (for the shop), I buy crafty things (for the shop), I plan ideas (for the shop), but one day I hope to set up a real, organized studio (not photo worthy- but functional) and spend days, weeks, or months just playing and completing all the things that I want to do- for me.
In the meantime, I thought I would at least share some of these pictures with you- maybe one of you can get started on some of them for me!
With the new cupcake craze, wouldn't it be fun for one of those shopsto have these permanently lined up on a shelf!
Now this idea just cannot get any simpler!
Cardboard cross, covered with your favorite paper and random wire.
Wine bottles covered in muslin and gesso with stenciled letters.
Spool of twine made into a lamp.
An average bottle collection painted white.
Printed images made into sachets.
A tiny strip of monogram ribbon sewn on a simple pillow.
Random square initials sewn on a burlap ottoman.
A simple faded red cross sewn on a cotton pillow.
Charms and tidbits sewn on a ribbon then sewn ona pillow (or imagine as a necklace).
Scraps of your favorite trims made into a necklace.
A funky ruffled collar made from torn fabrics.
And finally from Heather Bullard, this wonderful crest compliedof her favorite things.
I have saved these images for so long, I cannot give credit where
credit is due on all the rest, sorry!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. My friend, Debbie, reminds me so much of you, Debbie, so creative in everything she does. The fall altar was just a sampling of her talent of putting things together.
I never miss one of your posts. Thanks for sharing the things that inspire you.

That ottoman is fabulous! Thanks for sharing your future projects. I should corral my list, but it would be very long!
I love it! All of it! Glad to know someone else does this same thing. Yes, I believe there will be a day when I can sit down and do all of those projects. Likely? Maybe not very realistic, but that's what keeps be goin'!

These are some Great ideas. I am thinking I should make some of the ornaments for this Chrsitmas season. Also, thank you for your compliment on my blog. Adding you to my list of "Blogs that inspire me". Have a great day.
You have inspired me, Deb! If only to add these photos to my desktop file of "things to do someday".
What wonderful inspirations! The "cardboard edibles" are actually from an Etsy artist .. I printed out several of her works for my inspiration folder, too .. wonderful works!
Love the other ideas .. more jumping off the inspiration wagon and diving into some new ventures .. thank you for all of the eye candy!
My favorite was the sachets.
