Where do I find inspiration

When your brain goes blank and you stare at your craft supplies and don't know what to make where can you go for inspiration?

The library is always a good starting point. Spend some time sifting through all the creative books and sometimes all it will take is a glance at a picture to set you off on your creative journey. But, if you don't want to take off your fluffy slippers and brace the cold weather...

The internet is wonderful. There are so many creative blogs and sites ready to spark an idea in your brain. One such site that is wonderful for inspiration is Pinterest. If you haven't come across Pinterest yet, you are in for a treat. It is like a virtual noticeboard full of visual treats. You will need an invite to become a member, so find a friend to invite you...and if you can't find someone you know who has Pinterest, leave a comment here for me and I'll get in touch with you and invite you. 

Here is a glance at a corner of my Pinterest board...

What I find is that if I follow a link to an image that catches my eye, then I end up discovering lots of lovely blogs and lots more wonderful inspiration. In fact, I can waste rather too much time there if I am not too careful. But after spending a while browsing the internet, I feel ready to have a fresh look at the projects waiting on my desk.

If you have the crafting blues and don't kow what to do then grab a cuppa and browse Pinterest for a while.

Have fun

I joined Pinterest but found it all a bit overwhelming. Think I'm going to have another look to see if I can understand it a bit more - thanks for the encouragement!
