It depends what inspires me, sometimes it is seeing a pattern, sometimes it is fabric and sometime it is just a color combination. I’m not naturally creative, I’m more a techie person, but anytime I see something I like, I want to create something similar.

I find inspiration in so many places. Often it has something to do with my family but it can come from anywhere, a picture I see, a color, a pattern. Sometimes a piece of fabric or a skein of yarn inspires a project made from it.
