Royal Jewels Collection Inspiration

During a recent trip to London, I was awestruck by the most amazing jewel that must exist. No photograph will ever be able to portray it's sparkle. I was mesmerized . I viewed this indescribable gem while sanding on a conveyor belt in the Tower of London Crown Jewels museum. I took the trip at least 4 times around in order to take in this breathtaking site. I honestly didn't want to leave. The armed guards took notice and sadly I had to move on. Along with my lifetime facination with anything sparkly and regal, it inspired my Royal Collections line.

The perfect workplace...for no space.

Two bookshelves hinged together to create an amazing workspace! Highlighted in the latest edition of Martha Stewart Living, this efficient and attractive solution for those of us with limited space and a need for an accessible "craft area" is an attainable and economical solution. Hopefully posting this with encouge me to make this for myself! http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3a0656639de62ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=51a0f52a354a8110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&rsc=also_try_p1

Hello! It's my first blog and I'm so excited to start sharing ideas, thoughts and extraordinary finds with anyone who is interested. My first post is a quote that makes me feel like at least one person in this world "gets it".

“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.To him...a touch is a blow,a sound is a noise,a misfortune is a tragedy,a joy is an ecstasy,a friend is a lover,a lover is a god,and failure is death.Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - - - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.”
