You never know what might inspire you. Music, art, random things you walk past... Here are some things that have inspired me lately.

Music
I am completely obsessed with the song Fidelity by Regina Spektor. I caught the video on TV a week or so ago and have listened to the song about a hundred times. Great video.

Yesterday I listened to Ben Kamen for awhile. Totally rainy day music...

I was perusing Pure Volume and happened upon these guys: The Elliot Project. Very enjoyable.

Art
I ran across the artist Rania Hassan. Check out these awesome paintings that incorporate knitting. I love them! I think they would be perfect for my craft room.

I've been enjoying the Flickr group: get crafty!

Also check out Tiny Showcase. I ordered this one in June.

Creativity
10 Steps for Boosting Creativity - "Don't watch TV. Experiments . . . show that watching TV causes your brain to slowly trickle out your ears and/or nose. It's not pretty, but it happens."
