you know that feeling you get when you've just spent some creative time with your art friends? that feeling of being so totally inspired that you're afraid if you don't write down all of your new creative ideas right now, you'll forget them all?
such was my experience last week when my little niece alyssa asked me to show her how to sew. we decided to make these simple little "dollbears" (actually mine is the simple one on the left, alyssa chose to go all out and make hers really purple and really fabulous!). as we were sewing, we started brainstorming, and before we knew it, tons of ideas were flying around the room faster than ping pong balls at a national table tennis tournament! it was so exciting....and definitely reminded me that two heads are better than one when it comes to recharging your creative batteries!
and speaking of which, can i just tell all of you how much i simply adore you?! your comments, encouragement, and sweet bloggy love mean SO much to me! you are the BEST, and i truly appreciate you!!

YOu are so right about 2 heads being better than one. My creative friend and I love to get together and bounce ideas off each other. Amazing how it gets the juices flowing.
Have a blessed day!

My niece and I do a lot of scrapbooking.cardmaking type stuff together! Love the bears! So now, if you could come teach me to sew, that would be great :)
What fun! Those little bear dolls are just ADOREbearBLE!!!! Hugs, :o)
These are absolute cuteness Lori! Every boy and girl should have a relative that nurtures their creativity so!
SO CUTE!!!!!!
love the dolls...i get those idea-anxiety moments that i think i will forget my ideas...that is why i get up so early...got to go play!!! thanks for sharing the visit!
Lori, These are adorable. I see your niece caught on to sewing rather quickly. She could make and sell these to her friends. I love both of them. (You could too.)
And thank you for your comment on my blog post about Abby. You are so sweet!!
Lori...these are just too cute!!! I'll have to remember these when my grands come to visit next time. They would love them!! Your niece is very talented and has major potential....have a great day!!
What a clever and very fun idea for teaching sewing. I'm dying for someone to want me to teach them to sew. I've always been so thankful that my mom taught me. I've offered plenty, but no takers...yet! Way to go on such a creative project AND for cultivating the creativity in your niece. She will always value that.
These guys are so cute. Their funny little faces make me laugh. :)
These are awesome!!! I want to make a green bean dude!!
You have a wonderful blog.
Renee xoxo
