Taking time out for a coffe with friends and discussions on crafts can lead us down different paths and inspire us to new ideas or trying new things.  I find that bouncing ideas between myself and friends produces a varitey of inspirational thoughts and concepts to explore. 

Not all ideas come to successful fruition but a great deal of fun can be had in the process and we have had interesting discussionson this. I find that the germ of an idea can frequently morph into a successful project.  Occasionally a project can benefit from being left a little while and returned to refreshed.
