Do any other crafters have a notepad and pen by their bed at night, and write down ideas in total darkness, or is it just me?

No It’s not just you! I usually find I need to edit the stuff I write down at night, though. Sometimes in the cold light of morning it just doesn’t work as well…

Yes I do that! Although sometimes it is hard to read as I’ve managed to write over my own words in the dark haha!

Yes, I do! Funny how the best ideas happen in the dead of night. Is it that our minds are allowed to wander?
I’m guilty of this too… I grab my phone from the bedside table, and add my late night brain waves to the Notes app. 
It’s a list on my phone for me… the list of new things to try gets longer and longer!
@jessicagoulty I havnt looked at my list yet,but no doubt a mess of scrawly overlapped writing.

I’m inspired by jewellery from the ancient world that I see in museums! My whole shop, called ‘Jewels of Ancient Worlds’ is themed around it 
I can identify with the posts at the beginning of this thread! Often in the night if I wake I start designing things in my head, but am usually too sleepy to write anything down. In the morning I struggle to remember all the wonderful ideas I had!
I make notes constantly, day, night…middle of night 
…I am a bit of a ‘list’ person, I have that many ‘to do’ and ‘ideas’ lists I spend half my day reading them all. I get an idea, make scribbles, draw it out and start planning it straight away, usually whilst half way through another project, they don’t always amount to a physical item though lol
