Join us in admiring this stunning quilt by The Threaded Nest — we discovered it in the Sis Boom Sightings Flickr page! It’s so fresh, clean and modern– really awesome to see all of the different Queen Street interpretations!
This wonderful designer used Maritza & Maeve from Queen Street, and what a stunning couple they make! They look so yummy against the crisp white!
It’s already the 19th of January, our month for renewal, and while you’re all sending in beautiful, wonderful, inspirational comments for our 10 Yard Raffle (ends tomorrow!), we thought we’d touch on the touchy subject of organizing a workspace. Why? We couldn’t help but notice that a lot of your comments pertain to getting back in your offices & studios, organizing yourselves, and creating new goodies.
It’s inevitable. Once the imagination gets going, glitter starts flying, paper goes everywhere, needles and thread get strewn, and by the end of even just 1 whirlwind hour of creating it’s like a tornado ripped through your crafting room! Right or wrong?!
A lot of beautiful work gets done that way, and it’s difficult to clean while creating… but you will find that the more organized you are when you begin, organizing can automatically fit in to the creating process simply by always knowing where things are (easy to find & use) and putting them back when you’re done (so the next time you go to create, it’s just as easy to locate your materials).
So, take some time this weekend… Set a goal for yourself to organize your office and have fun. Make a nice cup of tea, put on your favorite CD and chill out. Enter your craft room with a peaceful mind, as not to get overwhelmed, and just go for it! Get started by piling like objects together until you sort out all contents into a handful of piles. Keep a trash bag nearby for scraps, and donate things that you don’t have use for anymore. Re-familiarizing yourself with your materials also helps spark the imagination and can be totally inspiring.
You can do it! Go on! Have fun!
Once you’ve finished the job give yourself a big pat on the back & go play in the snow! Georgie will be waiting for ya!
…And put it in the oven for Poodle and Me! How darling is this apron!! It’s like a breath of fresh air. We borrowed the lovely apron photos from Pretty Little Pearl on Flickr – and what a fabulous job she does.
Can’t you see yourself whipping up delectable muffins in this cute little number! The sweetheart neckline and adorable bow accent scream Betty Draper!
Thanks for joining us in paying some attention to Poodle… We heard that our dearest Poodle was craving some attention ever since Queen Street and Honey Child came into the picture … 🙂
Every year in January the way I renew is commit to the path unfolding before me and do the footwork. I don’t begin a year without picture journaling which helps me to visualize the path I’m on. Visualization is the best way to achieve success that I have found. See it before you in your minds eye. Try not to fret the small stuff hold fast to the dream and own it. Oh and it never hurts to ask God for help along the way. I have over 20 journals that I have collaged over the years to achieve my goals. Here’s some takes from the journal I’m working on now and yes that’s George with his buddy!! So get started , collect photos that resonate with you try not to have any judgment or criticism turn off your head and go for it. Go ahead dream big, don’t question just get started. I believe in you!!! oh and enter to win raffle below..ends Thursday so there is still time.

Being that January is the Sis Boom month for renewal and loving oneself, we want to help you all conquer those itty bitty tasks that have been looming over your heads for months. Simple things, like, you know, organizing your jewelry, writing letters to renew friendships, reading that book you’ve been dying to get your hands on… you get the point.
Our fun idea is to print our this cute, simple template and use it to write your to do list, or goal list down. Set it on your desk and add to it as needed. Hopefully the Queen Street Madeline will cheer you up and encourage you to forge ahead. Reach all your goals? Print out this puppy and write a note to a friend or family member just to say hey!
To use: click on photo below to download PDF. Write away! Conquer goals! You can do it!
Craving renewal in a certain area of your home? Is there a room that’s feeling stagnant and needs a quick, easy change? Something really affordable, fun, and special that we love doing here at Sis Boom is stretching fabric over a large canvas and turning it into a quicky wall piece!
Here we used Poodle, to add a splash of color and geometric fun. (note, scale is not exactly the same as our fabric since this is a digital rendition). How pretty!
Materials: Fabric, Stretched Canvas, Staple Gun, Empty Wall, about 20 minutes.
We have officially proclaimed January as the month of renewal and the month to love yourself!
Try new things often and give yourself whatever it is you need to feel peace each and every day. Here is a little craft for you… It will constantly remind you how important it is to pay attention to yourself!
In addition to making this sweet banner for yourself, try to do a little bit of the following… we will too 🙂
Print out these 3 pages (downloadable PDFs – just click on ’em to download).. cut them out and punch two holes along the top… string a sweet ribbon through them all… and viola. Most importantly– don’t forget to Love Yourself!
