One of my favorite creative spaces to follow is The Workroom in Toronto. I have even considered a weekend getaway to Toronto just to take a class in their shop. If I lived in Toronto they’d get tired of me real fast. Rather than sew at home I’d rent time just to hang out to see what’s being created in their space and to get inspired. I follow what they’re up to by way of Flickr and once in Flickr by links to their blog, Make Something. Recently, I was led to owner Karyn’s to-do list of crafts which made me think… What’s looming on my list?

-Make green practice dress, All-Weekend Sundress, from Heather Ross’s Weekend Sewing (pattern has been traced and cut)

-Make black & white layered version of the All-Weekend Sundress for my brother’s wedding in August

-Make outfits for the boys’ for my brother’s wedding

-Make the Summer Blouse from Weekend Sewing in the the white with red rose percale I’ve been hoarding in my stash

-Finish crocheted fish softie for baby Natalie (only needs fins)

-Applique onesies to have in my gift stash

-Cover metal boards with fabric for the boys’ magnetic nursery boards

-Learn to crochet (I’m just winging it right now)

-Print and send baby announcements

-Get back to making jewelry (been on maternity leave from everything!)

-Take a class on how to work with metal, metal wire, etc. Particularly silver.

-Get shelving up in studio so it can be properly organized (this counts, right? getting clutter cleared for creativity)

-Make David’s tote bag for his watercolors

-Finish my mom’s naughahyde yarn bag (this was supposed to be her Mother’s Day gift two years ago)

Now, to find some little blocks of time in between feeding baby boys.

What’s on your list?
