I&#8217;m also a decent problem solver when working on a project. I tend to try to work through all the potential problems in my head before I really get into the actual nuts and bolts of what I am making. So I think a lot before I do anything.<\/p>\n<p>Right now I have a couple of things I need to do. I know how to do them but I am not doing them and I haven&#8217;t a clue why. Well I have a few but none that really make any sense given my situation.<\/p>\n<p>It is funny that if I were writing a story, I would just push through this. But sewing can&#8217;t be pushed because in that direction lay madness or a lot of frustration when things don&#8217;t turn out properly. Paper crafts when pushed can result in a lot of materials being wasted. I do know that part of creating is making mistakes and I have made enough of them. My parts box speaks to that.<\/p>\n<p>I think I might just pull out some fur and work on an idea that I have been mulling in my head now for a while. It probably won&#8217;t turn into anything cool but it might shake out some of the cobwebs in my brain. Or maybe I&#8217;ll make some more eyeballs to use at NYCC. Something simple that will possibly unblock the dam on my creative juices and get them flowing again.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you do when creativity is elusive?<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful for things that get my brain back in working order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I consider myself a pretty creative person.
