This time every year I totally lose my crafting mojo. All the rush and excitement of Christmas just wear me out and I have the hardest time letting it go. When I could bring myself to make something over the last couple of weeks, it was to finish a project I didn’t get done in time for Christmas. Nothing else sounds terribly interesting to me right now.
But of course, every time I work on something and have to go through my supplies, I always end up remembering the millions of things I wanted to make someday when I had the time. So to combat my craft fatigue, I gave my studio a thorough cleaning and organization.
Now I not only have a stack of projects pulled from the stash, but I have an empty canvas of a room waiting for me to make a creative mess. This should get rid of those crafty doldrums in no time.
now I feel guilty…
you're house ALWAYS looks so organized and CLEAN!! I wish any room in my house looked like that. How do you NOT have piles anywhere??
This is encouraging to me. I have not wanted to work on my quilts since the holidays, but I did organize my fabric closet. Hopefully, I will pick up my works-in-progress again soon and get something finished.Thank you for sharing and giving me hope.
Your studio is lovely! I'd feel so content to have a space like that, does it help you feel a tiny bit better about hte world to sit down in it? hopefully seeing it will inspire me to sort out my 'crafting corner' and start some projects. Good luck with your dry spell.(hello, by the way. I saw you on the Guardian, and have been exploring for a little while so thought I'd better say hello)
