In all honesty.... I've been in a creative funk. I think of projects I'd like to work on - and then when I happen to have a few free seconds {because that's about all I'm getting these days} the inspiration just isn't there!
Busy life, good healthy changes going on, active and growing kiddos, bits of sunny weather - - - so much to do, so little time!
I told my husband the other night I need to either take a BREAK (like for real.... intentional.... where I don't still feel like I should be doing some sewing / creating) - - - - or I need to chain myself to my sewing machine and "sew through it"!
Neither of those options are very practical..... so I think I'll go with option 3: attempt to get a bit more sleep (lately we have been averaging about 5.5 hours a night!), work through paid custom orders (not many... but a few are still hanging out there!), and then grab some FUN fabric and just SEW.
How do you get yourself through a slump / funk? Whether it's in your creative life, work, fitness goals, personal goals.... I know we all go through them - and there's no miracle cure for them..... but help a mama out! :)
One thing I AM doing {that I think will help} - I'm running my first 5k in just over a week! I have always HATED running. No joke. But tomorrow (or Saturday) I will complete the last run of my couch-to-5k training program - having run for 9 straight weeks at least three times a week.... and the following weekend I have friends and family ready to run a fun color run to celebrate! I know it will be an awesome accomplishment - and the fact that I'm *this close* to completing this goal (and then making more!) is very energizing!
I haven't done TONS of sewing lately - though I somehow seem to be accumulating more fabric (oops!?) - but I have worked on a few projects....
Sneak peek of an item I made for a pattern tester {pattern releases in June - I'll share more then!} Yes... I was brave and cut into some Art Gallery for this one!!!
This cutie pie was "helping" me with my photo shoot
*Just about* finished with some fun baseball jerseys for my friend's twins. I made them onesies about 3 years ago - - - crazy how much our kiddos have grown!
