I had a plan, and I lost it

We were driving up the Taconic State Parkway today … Actually George was driving and I was knitting a sock and looking at the leaves changing colors and generally letting my mind wander hither and yon when  I had a sewing idea. 

And then, poof, I lost it.

I know I was thinking of a jacket or a sweater or something, I don’t remember which.  But I knew exactly what I was going to make, what color, style etc, and while I was thinking about it I realized that I had a piece of panne velvet that would be perfect for a coordinating skirt.  I first thought of one pattern, then decided that I had two other skirts planned for that pattern and should use another.  I remembered another pattern and decided it would be perfect as it was a little more classic, but with a bit of flare, and I thought the first pattern would  compete too much with whatever it was (jacket or sweater) that I was planning. 

Then I knew I had the perfect boots….

I looked up, commented on something, and it was gone.  I planned the perfect outfit.  I have all the coordinating pieces, but I don’t know what they are coordinating with.

Has that every happened to you?

I know it will come back to me someday.  Hopefully it will not be a 3 in the morning,.

In the meantime here is something else I picked up at Aida Dalati:  3 beaded brooches.  I plan to wear them as a set.
