Sewing: Inspiration

Last week, I posted about my need for a new clock in my sewing room.  After oogling over my options, I decided on this lovely:

My sewing room is a very neutral light blue color with white trim.  At first, I thought that I would want something funky, but the clock that I picked made by Making Time TC called to me.  I think that it will be perfect - I can't wait for it to arrive!  I'll be sure to post pictures of it in action.

I am still having a wonderful time sewing and working on items for my Etsy shop, and spent a few evening hours last week working away.  My clutches appear to be the most popular on Etsy and Pinterest, so I have made a few more to add to my shop soon.  I also had my third sale today, which is very exciting and inspiring!

I have also been doing a bit of research and development on new products, and am on the lookout for new fabrics.  The following from the Ty Pennington Fabrics Collection are screaming to be mine.

What sites do you recommend for craft inspiration?

Tick Tock

I have this clock in my sewing room, which I purchased at Target for about three bucks.  When I took a lunch break from my day job and spent a bit of time sewing or cutting out my next project, I needed something to tell me when it was time to head back to reality.  The problem is:  it's loud.  Really LOUD.  The ticking can be heard down the hall.  I guess you get what you pay for.

So I set out in search of a new clock that both tells time (duh!) and would give me a bit of handmade inspiration.  I found more beautiful clocks than I could have ever imagined, so many that I haven't yet decided which one would be best for my space. 

I compiled the following Etsy Treasury with a few of my favorites - tell me which one you like best, so that I can decide!
