I Just Want to Make Beautiful Things

I was itching for a new printable, weren't you? :)

At the end of my post on my "fancy" canisters, I posted this:


I had pinned it because I loved its sentiment.  I did find it a little ironic, however,  that it wasn't that beautiful (no offense to its creator).  I really wanted to post it in my crafting area, so I gave it a little somethin-somethin.




I created it in two sizes (8x10 and 5x7) and in four different colors below if you'd like it too!  I love the canvas background I got from fuzzimo.com after seeing it on How About Orange.

Click on image to enlarge and then right click, save and print!

This is perfect!
I've been a bit frustrated lately and even thought about putting all my craft supplies into a huge garbage bag and throwing away everything. But this printable just changed my mind :)
Thanks so much for sharing!

JC said...

Thank you! This is a great sentiment, even though the things I make with beautiful intentions don't always turn out as such! :)

Mary Beth said...

Do you know I printed that image from your blog on Friday because I loved it so much, but I felt the same way - that the presentation wasn't really pretty? Thanks for redoing this as a nice printable. I love it!

Maggie Muggins said...

I read your post and bust up laughing. I pinned the same quote just the other day with the intent to actually make it pretty!!! But now, I'll just use your pretty version!

Leslie said...

This sums up so much for me! Thanks for the great printie!

Love this! TY for sharing it!

Justine said...

I too had pinned the original(before seeing your post featuring it), and I couldn't bring myself to print it out due to it's lack of color, pretty-ness, etc. So I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU for making it so Fabulous!! It is absolutely Perfect! I will be displaying the Yellow version! Thanks Again Landee!

Miss Pineapple said...

That is so awesome. This is definitely going above my sewing table, computer desk and in my bedroom. Thank you!

I love this saying- very appropriate! :)

Sorta reminds me of the saying about "Dance like no one is looking" or "Sing like no one else is listening"

This is so great! This explains perfectly why I craft and blog. It's hard to explain to anyone who has no interest in these things. Printing this right away!

Wow! Just saw this and could not agree more. Thanks for posting and also letting me know that I am not the only one who feels like this sometime!

love2yarn said...

I saw this on pinterest and loved it! Then I came here to check it out :o) I had no idea that's not how it always looked.... you did a fantastic job! I was going to post the pic in my blog, but now that I know you created it, I'll definitely link back to this page. Thanks so much for the beautiful inspiration!

sorry! lol you can find your shout out @ http://honeybeeboutiqueandblog.blogspot.com/

That pretty much says how I feel about sewing. I found a very cute tutorial using glue, writing the words on the shirt and let it dry. I found it over at
http://www.u-createcrafts.com/2011/08/creative-guest-watermark-tee-by-sweet.html
and think this is what I will do with your printable.
Thank you for sharing.

Love it! I was in Paris recently for the first time and so felt this sentiment - beauty for beauty's sake. What a wonderful way to see the world. Thank you.
