Crafty Ideas

The days are certainly filled with excitement when a new baby arrives. There hasn't been much time for sewing or patchworking, but over the last few days I had lots of time to think and dream of the projects I could work on "if only I had the energy".



Monday night I found myself back at the hospital emergency ward with an post-birth infection. I have a history of haemorrhaging after childbirth, so we were all a bit worried that it might be another haemorrhage like I experienced after having Victoria. So I had two nights in hospital; just me, Nicholas, a few good books and an exercise book to sketch ideas into.

How do you record your crafty ideas? Do you have an inspiration board, a sketch book or a shoe box full of post-it notes?

He's so beautiful! Do you think he'll keep his hair? Amy lost all hers at two weeks old.

I think I fall into the category of post-it notes, but I'm not organised enough to have a box of them. I've got lots of bits of paper, and note books for other purposes which randomly have a craft idea in the middle. It probably comes down to what I can lay my hands on at the time. I know I've got a few lying around which are on the back of envelopes!

I should doodle more, but then I think I spend too much time on this laptop lol

Hope you're feeling better. He is a sweetie! I have a series of notebooks that I glue magazine clippings etc. into.
