... and then something happened and my creative buzz went away and my unfinished projects are now sitting idle on the crafting table.
At first I blamed the lack of time, but I soon realized that time had nothing to do with it. Just last week, when I had a lot of free time, I tried getting back to my crafting on several occasions and gave up before making anything.
This week I feel determined to shake this weird non-crafty state of mind off. I am creating a series of exercises to help me.
- First comes a weekly project. The idea is borrowed from the ever-so-popular project life: documenting my weeks using crafty materials and supplies. I am planning on creating 2 pages every weekend using papers and embellishments I'd find throughout the week. It would also be a great way to use my huge pile of inspirational images.
- Second is the new TEA TIME series for this blog (more about it in the upcoming posts).
- I am also hoping to get some mood boards/inspirational boards going. I've been contemplating an idea of creating those for a while and it seems like the time could not be better.
- And finally I will try to come up with short 5-10 minutes crafty exercises to fire up my creative mojo. I would like to use them as warm-ups, completing one before jumping into big projects.
P.S. I've sketched this post yesterday morning and simply thinking about different creative activities got me so happy and inspired. I already have several ideas for things I'd like to try out this weekend; most of them have to do with bringing spring mood into our house decor. P.P.S. The images have little to do with the topic of the post: they are my parade roses and lantana plant from last summer.
P.P.P.S. I would love to hear your inspirational ideas. What do you usually do to get into creative mood?
