I love your house! The red door looks great (isn´t that supposed to bring happiness and prosperity to a house?) and I love the roofline. I just stumbled across your blog through a series of other crafting blogs and I really like it, I´ll be back!

Oh, ideas: I keep a notebook in which I jot down ideas, random thoughts, and designs. I even have coloured pencils for it. I keep a small notebook & pencil in my purse for the same reason; I can rip it out & paste it into the ‘main’ book later.

As far as what to do first? Good heavens, I’ve no idea. Sometimes I think I’m so weighted down by all the ideas I’m left sort of stunned into inactivity. That is something I really, really hate, and I should probably pray about that issue! lol

It’s so charming! LOVE the red door. That’s what we’re doing, too.

You’ve done such a good job. The windowboxes are a great, homey touch and something I’m sure at least half the women in the world have always wanted anyhow.

What did you do to re-colour the front porch? It looks fabulous. Also, I’m a wee bit jealous of your sideporch. How perfect! I can just see you sitting out there at night, crocheting away…

What a lovely house! The red door is just right, and it all looks very inviting.

Complete? Hahahahhaaha I never COMPLETE much, but I’ve got the organizing of ideas down to a science…
I keep a master folder with all my ideas. Inside of that are folders on each topic such as embroidery, clothing to sew, knitting, etc. As I collect ideas, patterns, tutorials, or just images that inspire, I download them and place them in the appropriate folder.
I could stay busy for a decade if I’d actually get started making any of this stuff.
Your house is so sweet and storybook cute! I love it!

The house looks AWESOME. The front steps/door/railings make a huge difference, and the window boxes are a very nice touch – but my favorite part is the change on the side porch. WOW. In the ‘before’ picture, do don’t even really notice what a great porch you have, and in the ‘after’ picture it looks so nice and inviting – and very crisp with the new paint (i’m assuming on the floor and bottom of the house) and the hanging plants finish it off perfectly.

And how do I keep up with all my ideas. Considering that I have very little time to do any crafting at all – I keep a very organized ‘idea’ notebook. I keep this notebook with me in the house whenever I’m reading magazines and it stays by the computer for when I’m inpired by people online. Also, when I”m at work, I’ll email ideas home so that I make sure i don’t forget them (then they all go into an ‘ideas’ personal folder).

So, this notebook is a full size spiral notebook – but the pages are blank. I think it might be a sketch notebook for drawing – anyway, I have it sub-divided into lots of topics – scrapbook layout ideas, scrapbook album ideas, crafts, sewing, house type stuff, child crafting, gardening, and a general inspriation area. I have lots of cut outs from different mags (scrapbooking mags, better homes and gardes, pottery barn, etc) and then I write my ideas beside the clippings.

Then on the computer, I have two folders called ‘inspiration’ – one for scrapbook inspiration and the other is for ‘general’ inspiration. Everytime I’m on a blog or website and they have a picture of something that I like or would like to try – I save the picture into these folders. Then, occassionally I just go to that folder and ‘scroll’ through all the images.

Sorry I wrote a book!!!

Wow the house looks lovely and cheery. The first thing I noticed wasn’t the red door like you would think but the planter box and flowers. Looks great.
Now get back to your craft corner.

What a beautiful home you have! I love the new color for the door too! And your craft corner, it looks like a dream. Someday I hope to have a little nook or even a room for my crafts. Which reminds me I need to organize my walk in closet where I keep my yarn and maternial! It is taking over everything in there as it isn’t all ‘sorted’ into my boxes.
