Oh I wish when inspiration hits I could bound off to my corner of the workroom and get going. Even with my husband away....I still can't manage it
. We have had quite a heat wave, so my first thing is to set the alarm really early ('bout 5.30) crawl out of bed, grab a coffee and water my garden, check the pet bowls, tidy up, check in with Mother via phone....then if there are no domestic dramas I can relax a bit and get creative. Even if I don't get time with my machine, every night I pick up some hand-work. I am thinking though....might keep an exercise book on hand.....jotting down ideas/colours/designs before they get forgotten might be a plan.
Anyway.....I'm glad you leapt into action....look forward to seeing what you came up with.
