Joy the Baker

This site has absolutely nothing to do with sewing, but talk about creativity!  The owner of this blog has some amazing talent when it comes to baking and taking pictures.  I almost feel like I can reach into my computer monitor and grab one of her delicious creations.  She is absolutely the baking version of Pioneer Woman…just a little sweeter!

Etsy

I have to add Etsy to my inspirational list.  There are so many creative people who have shops here.  It is so easy to get lost in all of the wonderful handmade goodness.  From gorgeous hand-stamped jewelry, adorable children’s toys to fantastic furniture….I’ve not only found tons of inspiration here, but make many of my gift purchases here as well – I can’t sew everything!

So there you have it….those are just a few of my inspirations.  I  spend a lot of my free time browsing these sites along with many others to find ideas.  The internet is such a great resource – I really don’t know what I would do without it!
