It seems as though I've hit the proverbial 'artists block'. Artist, a term being used lightly as I've titled myself that, block it seems can last some time and its been quite a while since I've been able to come up with any new and exciting designs that I would even consider putting in the store, much less wear. It seems as if I've taken apart more than I've finished. Off the subject, I have learned to knit in this time of beadlessness and that has kept my mind busy for a little over 12 hours now! I don't know if its lack of inspiration, busy with other things, or just plain laziness! Hopefully it will pass, I know it will-it just really puts me in a bad place not having that excitement I had at the beginning. Its like a relationship, only the fire burnt pretty quickly! I think its just trying to get back into my 'real' job, just finishing softball with Morganne, and trying to get into the groove of the summer has me all but jumping out of my skin, which has been sun burned more than it should have by June 29th, and yes I've had on sunblock but there is nothing sunblock can do being out at the ballfield 3 days in a row for 6 straight games!!! All in all I believe this to shall pass and once it does I will be back on track! But until then, I have a scarf I'm knitting, thanks to my dear friend, and an ebay store to man;)
Totally normal! You have so much going on that it's hard to shift focus. Even with my boring bookkeeping business, I tend to lose focus when it comes to the fun stuff like marketing and social media...I get bogged down with the routine maintenance. You'll find your wind and groove. Just give it lots of time.
ReplyDeleteYes, the well-known wall gets hit. Mine came after I started working at my current job a month or so back. Things, Life, get in the way of doing what it is we really want/love.
ReplyDeleteMe? Just decided to let it be and get back to it when it comes back to me. Until then? Just living life and enjoying what it is that is put in front of me at the moment.
Patience, dear Ash. It will come around in due time.
