Creative thinking space...

...apart from a pile of paperwork and a quick trip to the post office, today has mostly been about this little notebook - my creative thinking space...

...this is where i bring all of my ideas together for the kids designs - lots of notes and sketches and as many fabric swatches as i can staple around the edges. this spread is from the last few days, ideas for spring 2010...

...this one is a mix of my own ideas and little doodles of designs i've seen and loved. i'm not really one for collecting clippings, i much prefer to make a sketch of something i've seen. i think it helps me form good, solid ideas in my mind far more quickly...

...it's always lovely to see the beautiful things others make, but sometimes what can be really interesting is the is the start of an idea, the raw thought that's scribbled down on a page or scrap of paper. sophie, over at her library adventures, has posted about her inspiration journal and i'm sure lots of others will too as part of the 'my creative space' meme, can't wait :)
