I have officially recovered from finals week and am now on summer break! Yay.
In celebration of impending summer (I say impending because it's still pretty springlike in Minnesota...we only just got tulips last week, sheesh), I quickly pulled together a mood/inspiration board. Since my Illustrator free trial ended in late April, and I'm not ready to drop dime on my own copy, I enlisted my handsome husband's help. He is dedicated to shareware and easily found Inkscape for me. Inkscape is similar enough to Illustrator that I could import images and size them, as well as use the eyedropper tool for the color bands, but I have yet to figure out how to make swatches.
The sunflower image pretty much sums up my mood. I've got piles of clutter to conquer and skills to continue honing but I'm prepared to face the challenges. Plus, I want to knit, read, write, design, and relax this summer. And, I'm so ready to begin...so much creating, organizing, playing to do.
[photo credits: I'll give a few but I've gotta say, many of these obvious stock photos haven't been credited so I can tell you my source, but that doesn't equal a photo credit. So don't sue me. The chair stamp image comes from dezeen.com and the knitting image from loopknitting.com.]
