Inspiration


Show and tell Monday with Make Mine Pink

Inspiration

Over a period of many years I have cut out and collected pictures/articles from magazines, keeping them in pretty journals for a rainy day or when needing some inspiration.
Love to look at the designs and colours, how what is in fashion rotates in a circle, frequently ending up where it started. Had a wonderful day on Sunday relaxing and browsing through 4 of my packed to the brim journals, remembering the years past and what I was doing at the time.


Having tidied my sewing room, so the sofa is now visible, I have a special place to sit and dream and get some inspiration for a week of stitching ahead.

    What a fun and inspiring day you must of had. I have saved magizines forever too. But, I need to take time to cut out the pictures I want to save and throw the rest of the book away. LOL
    I hope you got really inspired by browsing the past. Have a wonderful week as well. Kath'

    Hello, Caroline, I've done the same for many years (cutting out pictures, photos, articles, etc., and keeping them in notebooks). We have another thing in common besides tea. Ginger
