Sick day and inspiration results

So yesterday the boyfriend had to stay home from work, which was nice for me because I got to spend the day with him, but bad because I didn't get any work done! Tomorrow's my birthday, and I'm hoping to have my Etsy shop up and running as my present to me. Unfortunately with him home, I got distracted, and going to the library and sitting with a big pile of yummy new books meant that I didn't get a thing done!

OK, that's not entirely true. I did do a bit of sewing that I would otherwise have put off, and I did take some pictures that I almost missed the light for. But anything I needed to do on the computer was completely forgotten until it was entirely too late. However, I did manage to take pictures of the results of my inspiration pictures from before:
A hairclip of autumn leaves made of satin with gold embroidery.

A headband made of satin to look like falling leaves.
I've made a few more as well. I'm not entirely satisfied with them, but that's more because I'm a perfectionist than anything else!

Daily Inspiration - Autumn Leaves

I just found weheartit.com and I am in love. I'm going to use it to help me think of new designs. Today I've been inspired by Autumn Leaves. No, there are not any autumn leaves where I live yet, as its still August. But I've been making fall-themed hair pieces and looking at gorgeous pictures certainly gets me in the mood to craft! 

So here are a few of the images I found from weheartit.com to help me create things. I'll show you what I create later!

unfortunately I cannot find the actually artists/photographers who took them, but it is definitely not mine!
