growing up, i remember having this toy that you could lay paper over image plates and rub a pencil stick on top to create a rubbing of different outfits. i created, i think, every outfit possible! and i always wished i could make my own!
i actually made my own sun-dress! and when i didn’t finish it during class in time for my family’s vacation, i finished sewing the dress by hand during the entire car ride down to disney world… talk about having a vision!

woohoo to Big Dreams and Dream boards (you know im a huge fan already!) I am so excited for this dream, the universe is hearing it already and making some moves, I just know it. I already see you wearing a floaty white skirt with your wonderful owls printed onto it. Let's make a plan that I'll interview you again in a years time and we can see what difference THIS fabulous year has made. Xx

How Exciting! I also thought of Spoonflower while reading your post. You sound very happy. Congrats on moving forward at making a dream a reality.

LOVE this. You know I'm a sucker for anything fashion-related.
I have a vision board that I keep at my writing desk as a reminder not to give up on dreams. It will happen for you! You've accomplished so much already.

Good for you Juliette!! Love your dream board! What an inspiring post! And I remember that toy because I had it too. . . I think it was called “fashion plates”! lol I loved it!
Susie
Thanks for sharing your story. The board is amazing. Following your heart takes courage. Way to go.
Juliette Crane
thank you!
i was wondering, cathy, if anyone would remember that “toy.” and after a google search…yes! they are called fashion plates and they're still out there!

Hmmm, i'm often dreaming about my designs on fabric as well, and how exactly they should be. There are companies who offer custom prints, but they are quite expensive. But still, this is a dream worth following Juliette. Your owls would be so cute for children fabrics. And i love your vision board – i want one too! Have a fab weekend!

gorgeous!

Fantastic Juliette! I love vision boards. Our family made a huge one several years ago to manifest a family trip and it turned into a 7 month journey up the West Coast from San Diego to Canada and then down into Southern Mexico. We homeschooled our girls ( then 11 and 15) along the way and it is a shared experience we will always treasure. Last year I created a board which brings together my long term dreams of running creative retreats around the world and having my art recognised from afar. I included pics of exotic places, happy participants, affirmations of my own talent and photos of artists running workshops and painting. There is a great photo Of Flora on it and here we are a year and a bit later and guess who will be staying at my house next month, running her Bloom True workshop for 18 lucky women?!You've put it out there and so it will be!! 🙂

Inspiring! Dreams can come true..as you may already know..featuring your blog and your art in magazines…next ..fabric…I share with you that dream. I used to sew and think of fabric designs that were not available. My sister told me ..”then you should design fabric”..but I thought that was impossible…Now I know…after a life..that can be possible..Looking forward to see this your dream come true…keep up the faith and the drive.

Did you hear about the contest going on on Spoonflower right now? Michael Miller Fabric is looking for a new artist. I think it is called Project Selvedge. You should check it out. It goes until the 24th I think.
