    Hi, I lately have been overwhelmed by the amount of crafts I have started or want to do and end up doing nothing! I end up watching Netflix on my computer or reading. I feel guilty having so many crafts and even a bit of talent and then doing nothing. How do you get out of the "slump"?
    At least I still do some housework....but that is a SURE sign that I'm not doing what I should be doing...creating!

    Some times you just have to force yourself....It is so easy to sit and read for me...but then sewing it easy too....I have to find something that really get my attenion.

    Find someone you wish to make something for. This, for me, usually gets my creative side moving.

    Found making a daily To Do list helps. Love to check things off. Don't list the whole project, just the part you really want to accomplish that day. I put stars next to the most imp. items. I have my work table turned so I can sort of watch TV I quilt/sew. Put your book in another room out of sight. Someone on this board had the best advice, "If it takes 2 mins. to do something...do it." I am indebted to that person.

    That helped me get a few things done today! I'm making a list and asked my sister to help me do some of the things I need help to do! Thank you!
