What I have been doing

Yesterday I was browsing through the Christmas section in one of the Departmental stores. I do this every year when the Christmas decorations are out as I get lots of ideas just by looking at them. I saw a cute little figure (wish I had my camera with me) and I want to make a doll to look like that now! I can feel my mind going into over drive as various ideas have started crowding in. Do you all find the same thing happening to you? Once a doll starts taking shape in your mind another one starts forming and another one so that you feel you are going to burst! Well I have sort of done a rough drawing and suddenly I thought Oh my gosh! I hope I haven't subconsciously done the head like Judi's gnome! So I quickly tripped over to her site to check and sighed a sigh of relief. No it looks completely different. The nose is different and so is the body and the head thank goodness for that!
See Judi you are such and inspiration. Seeing you create your little fella I have started one as well.LOL!

Oh my - a gnome! I can't wait to see what you do with him. I am doing over the head on mine. I drew it out yesterday and then when I went to sew it I got sidetracked and ended up working on something else entirely!

To answer your question I usually have lots of doll ideas and things to do brewing in my head. If I don't write them down I end up forgetting about it!

Shashi, I think any of us who love to create have heads filled to the brim with ideas! And, YES!!!! I see things which give me ideas in Hobby Lobby, in 'goody' books (circulars for stores & mail order companies) in all SORTS of places! And like Judi, if I don't write them somewhere, they leak out of my overflowing head! LOL! I'll be looking for your gnome! I know it'll be great! And now you'll have more time to create! Wooooohoooo! Love you! Kai
