And whenever I want inspiration and project ideas, I had over to Lia Griffith's site.
I met Lia a few years ago when she attended a couple of my workshops. Lia is lovely- inside and out- and one of the most creative people I have ever met in my life. Basically, EVERYTHING on her blog is charming, so I have no shortage of projects lined up.
I'm a tad self-conscious about sharing some of the things I have made, simply because I had never used embroidery thread or hand-sewn before working on these, and it shows. Also, I took a few small liberties with the projects when I didn't have the right materials (or know what I was doing.) But, regardless of all that, I love all the crafts I've made! And my son loves them, too.
Everything below, except for the mercury-light-inspired glass candle holders, are from Lia's site. The candle holders were made by following a tutorial I found here. Basically, I just bought a bunch of juice glasses at Goodwill and used those. I was originally going to give them as Christmas gifts but then decided they would look better in my house. :)

Okay, first of all, all of the things you made are absolutely ADORABLE! Second of all- I love that you listen to audiobooks and turn off your brain and craft because that is exactly one of my favorite things to do. And Lia is such a doll! Your house is adorable. I aspire to your interior design skills :)
