1. I definitely know that feeling of a creative surge. The ability to harness it would be a gift!

2. I'm coveting belly mugs. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1286017742/large-handmade-belly-mug-potterydaddy https://www.etsy.com/listing/1149992809/cute-fat-belly-mug-coffee-mug-handmade

3. I once took a university level cooking class where we made soufflés, bagels, and marshmallows. Because my lab partner and I were young and hadn't experienced many of life's richer emotions, our soufflés did not soufflé, nor did our bagels bagel. Our marshmallows, though, were divine.

1) Inspirational buzz: usually arrives 8 minutes before I must go out the door; something visually exciting comes along and I want to capture it like it could fuel my next project, but too often it's like a dream that dissappears as we start to write it down

2) Coveting: stylish reading glasses (now that my silly aging eyes are making me wear them in public more often)

3) Bagels: going to make them Easter Weekend, with your recipe (bought a big ol' bag o' sesame seeds!)

When a creative surge comes to me it is usually brought on by something I've seen, like a row of uneven stitches or a colour combination in someone's work. It makes my heart lift in a very quiet way. It stays with me and then if I'm lucky enough to put my head down and make, all sound turns off and I just work. ( Doesn't happen often though)

I love making sourdough bagels. I’m an “everything” kinda gal but my kids like plain so I usually do half & half. There really is no such thing as a bad bagel is there :)
