Ah Annie - but there is a grain of helpful truth in there!
When I see anything that gives me an idea, or have an idea and write it on a scrap of paper etc ... I put them all into a foolscap sized box file (just put them in - no filing system!). Every now and then, I think 'that rings a bell, did I want to do something like that?' and get out the file and riffle through it. Pleasant way of passing an hour G .. In message . com, marbles_2 writes I was talking at work about how I have a million ideas in my head while I'm in the midst of a project (and would be starting all of them and never finishing anything if I listened to that creative voice), and then when I've finished I'm never really sure what to do next. A co-worker said I should have a card file. My daughter and I burst out laughing!!! How in the world could I ever keep an organized card file??? I'd have to be stopping all the day long to write things down and which category would they be in?? I'd be buried in cards that never ever make it to any filing system. I have enough trouble with fabric and thread and tools and projects and books..... But....... I think that chaos sparks creativity and as long as I'm happy doing what I do, how can I ask for anything else? Let the organized folk do their thing, I'll do mine. If I can't find room for my sewing machine, I just take over another table in the house. I'm on the dining room table right now doing the final machine quilting. Kitchen table has my fabric scrap bins and tools, and laundry room has everything else. Sometime before our next house party in December I will get it all back into some kind of order in the laundry room and start again after the holidays. ) -- Best Regards pat on the hill |
