I know what you mean. I do that too, create out of the blue. Once I made a little old sewing Maid with an apron all the way down to her feet and covering a used Oatmeal container I used to store knitting needles and the apron had three layers of pockets all around her skirt. They were layered in a way that the top pockets were as long as her skirt and the middle ones were mid length and the third layer at the bottom half of her skirt were smaller lengths for thimbles, threads, etc. Her head I made out of a used plastic oval shaped panty hose containers they used to come in. I plastered that head for the face and her hair up in a bun. the hat was the maid hat shaped into a pincushion. I had her for years until she fell apart. ;)
