~ Stitcher's Notebooks ~

I've never been the most organized person…

you can probably tell that by past photos of my sewing room!

my little pea-brain is always full of chattering thoughts and ideas ~

and my creative muse constantly visits me & gives me gentle nudges to do more, create more

…design more!

If it weren't for my many {MANY} sketchbooks & notebooks I have and use on a daily basis

I would be lost.

Things I write in my notebooks:

I like to jot down what linen I'm working on {color/count}

what color & type threads I'm using for a specific project

 {are they DMC, Weeks, or what the heck threads are these??}

listing threads I need/want/have and any/all supplies for that next project.

what needlework shops I've visited, where they are located and contact info

{I even tape business cards onto the pages for quick reference}

how much $ I've spent and where

{that notebook is locked-away so dear hubby doesn't faint}

ideas, thoughts, words, colors, names, quotes…

anything that I may gain inspiration from.

see?

notebooks are needful things aren't they?

I decided to design & personalize a couple for myself 

~ this one below being one that I keep in my sewing basket:

my trusty sewing basket on my comfy stitching-chair

personalized my sewing basket by adding a small sampler and many pinned-on treasures ~

~ even the inside is pretty!

you can see how ragged this notebook is,

by the tattered edges..but it is an indispensable tool for me!

…jotting down color & thread placement 

is very important as I design & work…

I don't want to goof!

I thought that maybe some of you 

would like a
