New Blog Welcome



WELCOME TO INSPIRED ME 411! 
LET THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY BEGIN!!!!


My name is Kelly Roberts of K. Simone Designs (more about me here) and I am excited to present my NEW blog, Inspired Me 411.  Earlier this year, I started working on this site and it feels so good to finally be able to present it to you. Check out the facts below.

BLOG FACTS

WHAT: Inspired Me 411 is a free directory of arts and crafts resources. This blog is a personal collection of information I have come across and/or used in my creative journey. It is organized with lists in the following categories: General Crafts, Papercrafts, Art & Art Journaling, Fiber Arts, Mind & Body, and Organizations & Events. More websites will be added over time. Also, there will be blog posts featuring interesting articles, tools and people.

 WHO:This site is for new and experienced makers who would like to find more resources for their crafts.

 WHEN: Starting TODAY!

 WHERE: Right here!

 WHY: In 2020, I started this new blog to provide information and inspiration for those looking for arts and crafts resources. I remember when I first got started in 2006. I was looking for a craft to try while I was dealing with grief and depression. Once, I decided to make greeting cards, I didn't find many resources. Then, I came across a great papercrafting website (formally Two Peas in a Bucket). This one resource made a big difference in my development. I learned more about my passion, met new friends, personally grew and just had a fun time. After seeing how great information helped grow my creativity, I wanted to create a directory to help others like I was helped.

So this year, I decided to collect most of the websites, classes and events that I've experienced and share them with you here at Inspired Me 411.

Come on in y'all, explore, and look around. I hope you find something that inspires you!
Subscribe so you can stay up to date with everything.
Blessing!

V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

  " The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius. Article Link HERE I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think. If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE     Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

Housework or Handcrafts?

Welcome to Inspired Me 411! Here's a question, would you rather wash dishes or craft???? My hand is up for CRAFTING!!!! Do you ever feel like spending time doing arts and crafts is "lollygagging"  or wasting time? During this global pandemic, most of us are busy cooking, cleaning, home schooling, working and other tasks. We are all in need of some personal play time especially now, right? When I am at my art table, I feel peaceful and that result has been good enough for me. But as I was doing some research, I discovered much, much more was happening in my body and mind. The research tells the benefits based on scientific, psychological, historical and personal accounts. I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, therapist or scientist but I am a woman who has faced depression, anxiety and related conditions for years. When I started on my journey of wellness and self care, arts and crafts became one of my best remedies. It didn't heal all my problems but it has given...
