The prompt ~

As a recap from the first newsletter, this week’s Inspiration Workshop! prompt is HANDMADE. Appropriate for the Gussy Sews community, right? I love pretty things and I love being inspired by what people can do creatively, whether it’s something I’ve made or that someone else has made.

* Make sure you sign up BY tonight (Thursday) if you want to receive the next inspiration prompt. The linky party will always be on Thursday, and that week’s prompt will be automatically sent via email the Friday before. The prompt for week #2 will be emailed Friday, June 3rd and the linky party for week #2 will be Thursday, June 9th.

My interpretation ~

I saw this wrap bracelet while browsing Pinterest and it totally reminded me of the friendship bracelets my friends and I used to make back in elementary/middle/high school :] You know the ones made from embroidery floss? Filling my plastic organizer box with thread was seriously a highlight of those summers. Hah! I remember taping the floss to the table, then braiding or wrapping the different colors into a bracelet that would soon enough become “bleached” by the hot summer sun or a chlorinated pool. Such a good memory! *wink*

Now it’s your turn!
