I was in a bit of a funk, this weekend, feeling the pressure of the full-time job + BCB + school; wondering if I have time/energy for it all. Last night when planning my Weekly Inspiration post, I couldn’t think of a single inspiring thing. As I was stewing about this, my brain got off track thinking about this opportunity. Now, I really can’t imagine myself on TV…but I did have fun ‘performing’ my submission to my dog while getting ready for bed. I enjoyed it so much, I realized that this little bit of fantasy had inspired me right out of my funk.
Maybe inspiration isn’t just that impetus to go, create; maybe it’s anything that changes the track I’m stuck on.
I’ve also found Thing-a-day is causing me to look at things differently. I’ve long known that everyday I’m creative, . . . → Read More: Monday Inspiration #3
By Tara, on February 4th, 2008% Since you all have been so generous with your suggestions for the Month of Love yarns, I’d like to ask your input on another name. I was attempting to spin a “SpongeBob & Patrick” yarn, with handdyed yellow bamboo and pink soysilk.

By Tara, on February 1st, 2008% Whew! You people sure do keep those suggestions coming! But I have to ask: does anyone take a look around before they post? Lately people have been repeating suggestions or suggesting couples I’ve already spun (and sold). Anyhow, this Fiber Friday I’m spending a good amount of time dyeing (for next week’s Month of Love yarns, which I’ll be spinning furiously this weekend!) and starting several new projects: 1. Project Spectrum! This month is all about Fire and Orange, Red and Pink. I think my ode to Johnny Cash and Ring of Fire fits in perfectly (pictured above), but after the Month of Love ends (Feb 14!), I think I’m going to start a series inspired by PS…Elementals, perhaps. Anyhow, this is still just the planning stages, I’m open to suggestion! 2. Thing a Day! Heck, I already spin, knit or dye everyday..why not make it official (and force . . . → Read More: Fiber Friday #4
