INSPIRATION

I am filled everyday with inspiration.  I am inspired to create.  There are not enough hours in a day to create all of the things I have drempt of making.  As we walk through our busy hectic days, it can be a struggle to stop and feel inspired by the sun shining or the wind blowing.  It is my hope that we can all have a chance to sit by a stream and feel as though you are a rock.  Listen to the water and the woods.  It can be a humbling and refreshing practice.
I was inspired to write on inspiration when a friend let me know that I have inspired her.  This is not the first time I have been told this.  Everytime I inspire another to follow a dream or act on impulse, it is fuel for my fire.  On days when I doubt the path I am on I remember the alternative and count my blessings that I am fighting the good fight.  I am more determined than ever to push on with my making, teaching and inspiring.  2011 will usher in a new set of fine art sculptural objects.  I am more inspired than ever.

Winter Love

For a girl who crochets, the winter season offers a variety of new items to make and offer up to the world.  These new Toasties make wonderful gifts.  I love to wear mine while I work at the computer on chilly days.  They make holding a warm mug of hot cocoa or hot cider extra warm and cozy.  Enjoy, there are more to come....

Settling into Fall...

As Fall settles in, the craft show season draws to a close.  This summer Blue Planet Creations had a booth at eight different shows between May and October.  The craft show season has become a big part of my life.  After five years of participating I feel at home at many of these shows.  Thanks so much to all the friends and fans who come out to see my booth.  It is always exciting to talk to the regulars that come to a show to shop my booth.  I've seen you all out and about in the community carrying my bags or wearing my dresses and it makes me a proud Mama!!  It was a successful season and next year I hope to schedule even more!  I am always on the hunt for quality shows that Blue Planet belongs in! 

For the fall and winter season I will focus on new designs, fabrics and ideas!  Delivering items to shops as well as scheduling some purse parties!!  If you are interested in a purse party, email me at blueplanetcreations@yahoo.com

At a purse party I bring several bag styles and 100 fabrics to select from.  Your guests get to design their own bag and have it custom made just for them!!  I also bring my inventory so guests can purchase from those if they desire!

Welcome to Blue Planet Creations!

I have heard so much about blogging and finally decided to start one myself.  I am a creative spirit born and raised in Ohio.  I started my own business at the age of 21 and it has been growing and changing ever since.  Over the years I have earned a degree in Interior Design as well as in Fine Art.  I love to create and hope you love my creations!

I spend most of my days behind the sewing machine, wrangling fabric and managing a mountain of yarn!
