What inspires you?

I've been a bit of a grumpy bum around here lately. 
Wasn't sure why.
 Then I realised. 
I've not been making things. 

I realised yesterday when BossyGirl 
got out her sewing case and fabric stash. 
(yes it's true I used to get little squares as gifts when ordering quilting fabric from the US. 
She's got about 100 4" squares)

She started off making clothes for Barbie 
and I showed her how to use the sewing machine. 

She then went off and whipped this up for me. 
As a gift, because she loves me. 
Even though I've been grumpy. 
It's the cutest thing ever.



So inspired by her I pulled up my socks 
and got stuck into something I'd had on the 'back burner' for years.










I stretched some new canvases and tidied up the backs of others I had made already. 
When I get it all together they will be for sale, somewhere. 
I've not decided where yet. 


What inspires you to actually get moving!
