Naturally Inspired


The sun on my face, the colors of my lilac bushes blooming, the imagination wandering to fresh vegetables soon to be in my fridge, the peaceful sound of birds and bees flying around- such inspiration for a creative soul!

It does not take much to inspire me to want to create. I can walk through the aisle of crafty items at Walmart and just come up with 1000 different things I could do with those dangling beads, that pattern of fabric, those colors of paint, that ball of yarn, etc. But nothing inspires like the natural world around me. I have just been blooming with excitement the past few days with this sunshine enlightening me with outdoor ideas!

Take one moment to let your mind wander and picture these scenes:

- A mother and daughter on the patio filling colorful planters with potting soil to get a fresh start on the spring and summer blooms...
- A small boy picking the flowers that were so cherished in the front garden "by accident" so he could give them to his mom...
- Going for a bike ride and passing by all those cute white picket fences with fresh garden scenes popping through...
- Sitting at the kitchen table cutting open all those vegetable seed packets and getting those little babies started in simple greenhouse starters...

What can you make to capture such moments???
You'll find featured on my website this week some of my new spring scene inspired items from my online gift shop through Etsy (photos above). These items are great gifts for those you know who are naturally inspired by new growth and spring air love.

Take a look and share with me your spring inspirations!
