Creativity Captured

Being a stay-at-home mom is the hardest job I’ve ever had. But it’s also very fulfilling and I believe raising my children is the most important job I’ll have. Having said that, I do understand the monotonous days, the need for a creative outlet, and the desire to follow a dream.

One of my favorite things about the internet is discovering new artists and writers, and especially (but not limited to) creative moms. Etsy is one of my most-often visited sites for creative inspiration, and I like supporting handmade by purchasing when I can.

I was thinking it might be fun to spend some time featuring some of my favorite artists, crafters, and bloggers who I look up to, am inspired by, and feel have ”captured” creativity. (Have a suggestion on someone who should be featured? Link me up!!)

Today I’m introducing the etsy store LilyBella Fabrics because I’ve been frequenting it A LOT lately! I have a sudden weakness for cute fabric, and no, I don’t sew. But yes, I’m amazing with glue and a staple gun. hehehee

It’s hard NOT to get excited about fabric when I see patterns and colors like these.

I read on her etsy profile that Christy, who runs LilyBella Fabrics, is a stay-at-home mom of four that always has a project in the works. I love her already (and no, she has no idea who I am)!

When I ordered some Heather Bailey fabric from Christy’s etsy store last week, she shipped it immediately and this small town girl was happy to get gorgeous fabric without having to drive 2 hours to the nearest fabric store. (Oh, have I mentioned I live in a small town???) I can’t wait to show you the projects I’ve got planned (although I’m kind of afraid to cut into it because it’s SOOO pretty!).

Until next week! Have a great weekend. xoxo
