Alot of things inspire people to want to do something. Mine I think is a bundle of many things, people around me who want to see me do something with my life, parents and siblings and my son are most likely my main inspirations. Well with personal inspirations comes outside inspirations. I grew up in a home with a mother who is what I call the queen of crafts. I do not know one thing she couldn't fix, make or figure out. Every creative string in me came from her. Well getting to the point every Sunday morning I would wake up to shows a long the lines of Sewing with Nancy.
After time, i would pick up on what the shows were about when it came time for me to make something; of course with a lot of help from mom. When I was growing up Nancy did a lot of clothing but now the show shows crafts around the house and quilting which I would recommend this show to any creative mind that is out there, but just don't be surprised if it's a lot of quilting talk.
What I'm saying is dont just be inspired by your surroundings go out and find outside inspiration. From shows like Sewing with Nancy or this new show called beads, baubles and jewels. This show is on weiu(PBS) through direct tv showing every Sunday 1:30 (central standard time) I'll try and find a showing on sewing with nancy if needed. But beads, baubles and jewels has a website if you do not own direct tv at beadsbaublesandjewels.com Honestly I really dont know how new this show is I just caught wind of it this year, I dont watch too much tv.
There are other tools that I use to get new ideas or learn how to do things that I can not quite pick up. Youtube is very good for that. Now all of the videos can become very overwhelming but, if you take the time and look you can find some really great videos. I'll have to make a blog list for you for the top 5 videos that I found that have made me better at making the crafts that I love.
