Ruth over at Mantua Maker has a nice tutorial for a spool rack made using some wood and nails. It’s a great way to store your thread so that you can see all the colors you have and keep them in one place rather then rolling about in your crafting space.

Shiso mama makes a small piece of collage art every day. See them all on her website and on Flickr. She explains her motivation on day 1. What a great way to keep the creative juices flowing, and develop your creative voice along the way.

Some are representational, some are abstract. Get a peek into her process here.

The collages are giving me all sorts of ideas for quilts and quilting patterns.
