We all have times when we're just unable to quilt. Or to draw, collage, stitch or embroider. Whatever yoiur craft addiction, I'm sure you know what I mean.
And at times like these, I like to flick quickly through pictures that inspire me. It's like slurping down a chocolate milkshake all at once, because you can feel it filling you up for hours to come. (Okay, so that's not the best analogy in the world - note to self: revise.)
Tiny bits of inspiration can percolate while everything else is going on. And I promise myself that soon - soon - I will draw something like this.
(This is not a slab of chocolate. I know what you were thinking, Curlypops! No, it's the carved wooden screen across the quire of a cathedral in northern England, near the Lake District. note to self - look up cathedral name...!)

That reminds me of some of the doors in Thailand, my husband thought i was strange taking photos of all these doors! (it does look like a slab of chocolate though :-)
I wish it was a giant slab of chocolate!
I hope the dinner went well, and I'm enjoying drooling over the book!
P.S. I thought it was a giant slab of chocolate as well ;)

Yes, I know exactly what you mean! When that happens it feels as though something really important is missing. I've learned now to use that time to absorb creativity from other sources. I go to the library and borrow a stack of big, coffee table style books. Impressionism, William Morris, stitchery, photography, stained glass. Anything glorious to the eye, full of colour and texture and detail. And I like your expression 'percolate' for that is what it does. When the creative ability switches back on, I'm ready for it!
