Inspirations
1. How often does a craft-blog post bring tears to your eyes? This did it for me. A lady named Lenore wrote to Futuregirl Alice to request a pattern for her Octopus stuffie long before Alice had released it to the public (third pattern down). Lenore has a tradition of making a Christmas ornament for each of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. People, she has 99 grandchildren and great-grandchildren! So the resulting Christmas tree is just about the best thing I have ever seen. Making me even more gushy about this is the fact that Alice sent me the pattern in a swap earlier this year ... I asked her for it because Otto means "eight" in Italian so surrounding him with octopi seems a propos.
2. It looks like Susan's article about the Vintage Fabric Flickr group (with images and quotes me) made it in the new issue of Adorn! Hooray! Thanks Susan! I will be rushing to a bookstore to get an issue this evening. The group now boasts 1,500 members and is nearing 5,000 images. There would actually be at least twice that many but we try to stay on top of editing out the non-vintage and non-fabric pictures.
3. And here's some assorted vintage inspiration:

- Al Q's Vintage Kiddie Record Graphics, via Drawn
- Vintage playing card graphics (click "playing cards") at Kelly English ... relatedly, I am crazy about Kelly and Kindra's letterpress stuff at Studio on Fire
- Sugar Frosted Cereal Museum pool on Flickr

Oh, that octopus is adorable!
Congratulation on your mention and quote in Adorn!
