make it sew!

it's blustery and storming here, but i arrived to work warm and only a tad moist. i've spent the morning doing some internet shopping and crafting research for christmas presents for the fam and friends. i think i have some great ideas, but need to get off the ass and get to work. some of my ideas will need supplies and others a few weeks to make.

what i need to do is get on a project-management binder à la Monsieur DeFrank and his Amazing Spectacular Thanksgiving binder.

here are a few internet sites that have been offering some inspiration:

the tasty online face of Craft Magazine

Benita in Sweden posts projects to her blog Chez Larsson. Great pics!

Inside a Black Apple. Cute, classy.

Bolt on Alberta. i just gotta find a reason to shop here. they have buttons you'd generally never find in one place and fabrics to make your eyes drool (yes, this is a thing that happens). too bad their website is so spare.

I've never tried the patterns from Sublime Stitching but I have been meaning to get back into embroidery. i'd like to embroider some dinner napkins and some hankies.
