Welcome to Sloe Gin Fizz if this is you first visit! So glad to have you stop by, especially since today it's my turn to post about what inspires me as part of the blogger chain mashup — Blog It Forward — started by sfgirlbybay. Reading through the entries each day has filled me with inspiration. The chain leads to me by way of the lovely, English Alice of Simply the Nest. Feel free to wander backward and forward through the chain — you're in for some treats!
And now, here's a little drawing of what inspires me personally (click image to see it larger):
WORDS.
Lyrics, novels, poetry, essays, blog posts, tweets. All of it.
TRAVEL.
Actual adventures in distant lands and whispery daydreams of far away places.
CITIES.
MOUNTAINS.
WAVES.
WOODS.
WIND.

CITIES.
MOUNTAINS.
WAVES.
WOODS.
WIND.
ROAD TRIPS.
GARDENS.
I'm still amazed each time a little seed in the dirt grows miraculously into a plant.
SPRING.
COLOR.
CHANGE.
NEW.
Tastes, places, routes, views, ideas, ways.
OLD.
REST.
Ultimately, all of these have the potential to inspire me,
but I know that if I am not a well-rested girl, inspiration will not come.
I am slowly learning to accept this and to not force it.
Eventually … it will come.
In the mean time…
COFFEE.

And now, onward down the chain to the talented crafty tastemaker, Smidge Box.
