If we didn't do that, where would we get our best ideas from.

And here I was thinking how weird I was! Thanks for setting me straight. My big thing is checking out old barns and old country stores that might make a good bird house pattern.

Yes it happens to me too, and the wife. We were in a furniture store recently and she saw a bedroom display she liked. You can make that Mick, she said. Yes dear said I, while thinking about something a million miles away. Maybe she'll forget about it eh.

Not only do I do that but now my children are doing it for me. They will come racing in from another room and say "Mom, come look on TV there's something you can make for us!". At least we're doing this together

Watching Antiques Roadshow with the videotape going in the background is useful. Go back later for a detailed examination. Magic

I think it is a sickness. I could one though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's nice to see so many of you do it as well, I also check out trash piles as I drive by to see it there is any wood. I do believe it is a sickness with know known cure.
