The dreaded brain clog

It would appear that I am currently suffering from crafters block. I have a million books, magazines and supscriptions to blogs, I see a multitude of things I want to make or buy but I am failing miserably to have any inspiring original ideas.
Maybe its that there are so many inspiring crafters out there at present or that I haven't completely worked out my own style yet?

I actually think it may be that I've spent so much time looking at other people's designs, books and articles that I've overloaded my brain with too many wonderful ideas, (which I failed to file away in my mental organiser) now I can't quite remember what I'd decided to create.

I am I the only person who sees so many gorgeous designs that sometimes you think someone, somewhere must have already done every idea you come up with.
I endeavor to carry my craft idea notebook with me absolutely everywhere so I can jot down every flash of genius (slight exaggeration) that passes through my mind, then when I get the chance to sit down at my sewing machine I'll know exactly what I'm trying to achieve!


In conclusion I have two children that deprive me of my sleep so my brain no longer functions at normal speed, not enough time to sew and I spend far too much time looking on craft gossip
