Sharing is Caring – Inspirograph

WKtOo6y

My first Inspirograph. I was going for a fiery theme. Eh.

Like I said, I’m hoping to get back to some regularly scheduled blogging around here and the first second thing I thought I’d do more regularly is share something fun I found during the week. Sharing is caring after all! Unless it’s germs, keep them to yourself.

This past week there were a lot of cool crafty things going on, but this one stuck out for me. BatGirl shared it with me and I’m sharing it with you.

Inspirograph. Yes just like the plastic wheels you had, lost and then stepped on and broke as a kid! Or was that just me?

Pick a background, pick a wheel, pick a color and spin that sucker around to your pretty heart’s content. If you want to change the background after you’re done you can.

I found it pretty relaxing while I was spinning my mouse around the screen. It froze up a few times and I don’t like that at first I couldn’t find an undo button, but then I read the keyboard commands and found out that Ctrl + Z works just fine here too. (If you want to redo what you just undid, use Ctrl + Y)

Go. Try it out. You’re welcome. If you make one, feel free to upload it to Twitter or Instagram and use #sharewithcourt and @courtiscrafy me so I can see it!

The guy who did this is working on a mobile app so soon you’ll have another way to kill time.

Hi there. It’s been awhile, huh? I’ve been crafting some, but nothing like usual. We’ve had my brother’s dog (#Brodsmontana) on and off since January. While I adore him and he’s a love, he’s not helpful for crafting so I don’t get much done.

Since he’s back to my brother’s now for the foreseeable future, I thought I’d get back to crafting and blogging some.

Today seemed like a good day to start. I’m in the car, headed to NJ for a cousin’s wedding, crocheting away!

Next weekend I’ll be in Chicago and maybe doing some kiddo crafts! Can’t wait. Any thoughts on crafts I can do with an almost 5 year old boy and an 11 year old girl? I’m thinking rockets…
