Spring into action!

So, today is Easter monday, I'm am home just relaxing, thinking about what I would do if I was gonna start designing a new collection today??!! So how would I start out designing a collection - honestly - I would grab some paper, or if I was really thinking about it a sketch book, and I would start writing, I would start writing all the thoughts that are already in my head: It's easter, spring is coming, sometimes it's sunny, some times it's raining, new flowers, new life, change, brightness, light, fun, floral.. and on on...
