Welcome!
I am excited to launch my new blog for Chicken Ink. Creative. It has been long overdue and I look forward to sharing lots of great stuff with you. Things from my head and heart, tutorials, behind the scenes of C.I. and more.... what ever takes my fancy. I hope that you will enjoy it.
Blog Launch Competition
Sooooo... are you a clever wordsmith? If so, then I need you!
Something that explains our drive to create. Our passion for fabric. Why we stay up til 3am sewing away the night before a market. Why we can't live without being creative.
You know, something along the lines of:
- I breath, therefore I sew
- Craft if the new black
- I have dye running through my veins
Do you know one, or can you create your own?
The Prize
The winner will receive up to $50 worth of products from Chicken Ink. which will be custom made PLUS the thrill of seeing their entry printed on Chicken Ink. products.

How lovely is that sewing machine!! I heart sewing... Ok I have 2 for you. The first is my own thought up right now just for you Tania... Are you ready?
ReplyDelete"Sew many things" it could be read 2 ways... 1. Soooo many things to sew hehe or 2. Sew lots and lots of things. Either way it's short and sweet.

Back again... The 2nd one is my wonderful friend Lauranie's blog name "This is sew my life" I love her to pieces and have never met her (the feeling is mutual too I assure you) she is such a breath of fresh air and her blog name just always stuck. One day we'll meet no doubt but for now she sew rocks... Hehe
ReplyDeletePs I am following...

"Sew Creative"
ReplyDeletehow about....
ReplyDelete"sew you think you can craft?"
or
"sew far so good"
or even
"the needle and the damage done" for all the neil young fans.
and i allways like
"eat, sleep, sew"

Alrighty here are some of my crazy ideas -
ReplyDelete"I sew therefore I am"
"When life gives you scraps... sew something"
"I heart craft"
I read these three somewhere but it the authors weren't credited -
"I cannot count my day complete
'Til needle, thread and fabric meet."
"My soul is fed with needle and thread."
"I love sewing and have plenty of material witnesses."
I will try and come up with somthing myself, but till then an uncredited author:
ReplyDelete"I'd rather be stitching,than be in the kitchen!"

Okay...
ReplyDelete1) To sew is to breathe, so create and thrive.
2) to jump on Bec's idea above... 'Eat. Sew. Sleep. Repeat.' I am making a baby's quilt with the same saying ATM, except it has play instead of sew. I love it!!
Good luck Tan!
sew happy .. miss haidee
ReplyDeleteMy caption would be 'Sew happy'
ReplyDelete"sew be it"
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking for a couple of days but it came to me when I saw the picture today! :)
my suggestions
ReplyDelete"sew happy stitching"
"creating the threads that join our souls"
"creating happy hearts"
