I’ve compiled a list of some projects I want to bust out… probably when I return from SD.  I only brought my embroidery supplies out here with me– the paper stuff would require almost the whole car!

• Sticky Note book covers via Greeting Arts
• Tin Can planters via Flickr (above from Happy Sleepy’s photo stream).  Really I’d like to do any kind of planting in the house.  We live in an apartment in DC so outside gardening is out of the question.  I probably should start with potted plants.  I read a book called How to Grow Fresh Air that made me think a few plants would be a good idea.
• I want to embroider Alicia Paulson’s “Pleasant Kitchen Dishtowels” (link to free PDF of pattern) but I also want to wait until I can do it well and do justice to her patterns.  Is this an excuse?

There are also a lot of designers, artists, and Etsy sellers catching my eye these days:

• I love, love, love everything 16 Sparrows is working on, especially her Letter Writers Alliance line and free templates for download.
• Brian Hathcock’s “Still Life” Flickr Set
• Heavy Linen Book Bag from PressaRussa’s Etsy Shop (although, I really don’t need another tote bag)
• Hubero Kororo’s (the site is in Czech but the photos are amazing).  I love their wall of drawers
• Donovan Beeson’s Etsy shop
• Remake’s labels on Etsy… wouldn’t these be cute to label my notebooks this semester?
