I've spent a whole year looking at things and not knowing what to do with them... just not creating anything but getting stuff out, just to look at it and not getting into it. I think sometimes you just need to take a step back from it all until you realise a) your missing it and suddenly feel like doing something, or b) something hits you that is so inspiring that it compels you to create too - before long, you have overcome what ever caused the blip... I've found pinterest to be my biggest source of inspiration these days because it concentrates all of the things I want to look at in one place. If I want to investigate more - I just click on the image until I get to the source of the pin - usually a blog or website. Then I can also give the original creator of the piece the credit for it, rather than the person who was last to pin it! <br /><br />Well done on overcoming your crafting drought. Mine's just starting to trickle back again. As you say... Small Steps!!!<br /><br />Paula x x x Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294286444278595836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300732380923459758.post-88736027720657294412014-01-14T01:55:37.211+00:002014-01-14T01:55:37.211+00:00Best wishes to you Jak, until you get out of your ...Best wishes to you Jak, until you get out of your doldrums...You're not alone!

Everyone has said lots of encouraging and wise things but I would suggest a quick visit to your GP to get a health check esp blood tests. Could be anaemia.<br />I hope you do get over this bad time and start to feel better quickly.

Everyone seems to have a lot to say so I believe its happening to everyone at this time of year, it often happens when you constantly push yourself. I certainly understand when you say your stash gets everywhere, My suffering husband is continually saying do something about this mess but to keep putting it away when you need to use is so frustrating and it does get you down when your being moaned at. It will soon be Spring just to have a bit of SUN will do us all good.
