~ Inspiration Friday ~

I've decided to begin a new routine ~
and I'm hoping I can stick to it.
So, I thought;
each Friday, I'll share here what has inspired me throughout the week.
I'm sure not everything will be about needlework
 {but mostly...really who am I kidding?}

Mostly photos will be shared from Pinterest ~ 
my very favorite place to be in my head. 

I just love how all of those pins can be collected & shared by like-minded folks.
and I especially love sharing my own photos there for my followers on Pinterest too.

Most of you know me as a designer of primitive and/or whimsical needlework,
but I like to think of myself as something a little more.
I never want to be constrained into one description or another, 
so I call my varying interests 'eclectic' to say the least.

I am contemporary & I am old fashioned, 
... modern yet vintage.
 and I love color, and neutrality ~ 
textures and design.

I'm more complex than I am aware I guess...I think we all are perhaps....
and as I allow myself to think outside my comfortable perimeters
I find that I 
just. love. everything.
Life itself.

So, bear with me friends, as I explore more
and keep my thoughts and attitude positive and fresh. 

I'll not include wording or descriptions for the photos, 
~ but allow them to speak to you however they may.

Here is my very first post for Inspiration Friday:
{and yes Nancy D ~ I am quite smitten with the color Yellow}
;)

This is something I will really look forward to. Pinterest helps keep me sane while living in the most boring place on earth. You bring so much pleasure to my life Lori. Thanks for sharing some more of yourself.

Oh, I like yellow too! Love the piece still in the hoop! Brightened my day! (It is very cold, damp and gray, here today, I needed that wonderful brightness!!)
Thanks for sharing all the pretties!

Hi LORI, Today I found a pop-up card with a YELLOW flower I´ll send to an old quilting friend, 90+ to let her know I´m thinking of her after a tough winter.
I like yellow but I don´t wear that colour. 60 years back I made a lemon yellow dress and used it just once and just before lunch.
Probably we´ll have two more months of Winter but we can enjoy the SUN sometimes and that make the life much easier.

Thank you so much for sharing. Love it. My favorite is the wall collage-not sure if that is the proper word but that's what popped in my head. Yes, I love every style, primitive, seasonal, etc. that is why I NEED TO DOWN SIZE UP STUFF. Thank you again. I look forward to next Friday.

Bravo, Lori! Your post really spoke to me, as a person who loves prim but is also inspired by many other designs and techniques. I like to try everything, and there is so much to learn! I'm glad that I'm not alone, and I look forward to seeing your creations!

I love all your designs, but I'm especially interested in the golden spider. What kind of thread did you use to embroider it?
