Obseessed. With swirls.

So I am OBSESSED with swirls - for some reason this particular pattern design has became my inspiration for EVERYTHING! from scarves to gloves....

So I found this gorgeous pattern....


and that's what came out of it:






So here is the lesson of the story....anything may trigger one's imagination - it just has to CLICK!

Pompoms, anybody?

Question of the day - who loves pompoms more - kids or parents?....pompoms of all sizes, of all types and of all colors....I KNOW I like them more than my son does...but they are so fun! why?...I wonder?....maybe because they remind of an icecream cone? or a baloon of unthinkable color? or because they are so sooooooooooooft and fuuuuuuuuuuuuzzy?.....

Selling passions

....or making money out of something one likes to do - equates to hard balancing. Once upon the time my husband decided to try to persuade me to make something out of my nack for finding amazing fashion bargains....and effectively killed my love for shopping for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time, since once I tried making money out of my "hobby" - even though it actually paid, and paid amazingly - I lost interest in it!

I wonder if it is an unfortunate quality of character of mine....or something more common. Or maybe it has to do with doing something one TRULY likes - and thus enjoying it - or doing something very CLOSE or RELATED to what one likes...but not exactly what one likes.

complicated matter...maybe THAT has to do with my inability to copy designs completely from one piece to another and total excitement while tackling something new or inventing something new.....

here are two newest inventions....now the challenge is - can I repeat either one?......
