Sometimes I feel like I don't have any ideas and I will never have another idea for the rest of my life and sometimes I am brimming, my head is spinnning and I don't know what to start creating first.  So I have created an 'Ideas Book' to capture the ideas when they are bountiful:

It was only recently that I realised that my creativity is cyclic.  This can give me alot of stress as I often think I should be working on my quilting and yet all I am doing is knitting, or I think I should be spinning, but all I am doing is reading trashy romances.   I am coming to the realisation that there are periods when I just have to recharge and sometimes I have to create in a whirlwind and othertimes I can have balance in all things (ok that one is rare...).

So, on the weekend, my friends Lynne and Roger came to stay with us.  It was great to catch up and relax together.  On Saturday we went down to the Traralgon Farmers Market and bought heaps of goodies then spent the rest of the day cooking up a feast.  Lynne mentored me with my breadmaking and I am very pleased with the results.  Lynne and Roger made Gazpacho, Riscy made asparagus, chicken and lemon rissotto and I made rhubarb and apple crumble which we ate very late after a fruitless attempt at viewing the comet.

I managed to capture an idea in my ideas book.  I wanted to make an apron after getting myself covered in flour, so I wrote it in my ideas book.  I also gave myself some design pointers (which I ignored in the end).

So yesterday after Lynne and Roger left, I retreated to my workroom and made an apron.  It is taylored with darts which I fitted to myself in front of a mirror, it is hard to get things symmetrical this way, but I did manage.
