Does spring give you a creative boost? Does it get you all ramped up to make and learn and create?
For me it does. To the point where I am so ramped up that I am going in circles. I have a massive urge to learn new creative things, try and experiment and just generally muck about. It feels like a million ideas flowing through my brain - all at once.
The problem? It is too much creativity right now. There is so much going on in my brain and so many ideas that I can't seem to focus. It happens to me every spring. The urge to stretch myself is overwhelming. I want to learn EVERYTHING. I mean I am reading books on felting, bookbinding, crewel work, watercolors and so many more. I just flit from one thing to the next - just soaking it all up and wanting to try it all. The problem is that there are just not enough creative hours to fit it all in. I mean if I worked all day just making stuff I couldn't fit it all in. And since I obviously DON'T have ALL day to just create I feel frustrated. When I do try tomake something I feel like I should be making something else or I need to go and get supplies for the new thing I want to learn and the I end up doing nothing. Just going in circles I am!
Totally on creative overload and not able to create. How crazy is that?? I mean I dream of feeling this creative and here I am complaining (well sort of complaining but not really -I have a smile on my face as I type this cause I can see how ridiculous it is!).
So since I can't really focus I made myself sit last night with a crochet hook and I created these. Something out of the norm for me and I was 'learning' so I was sort of satisfied - for about 2 seconds, lol!
Just fooled around and created. A small project and they take little time to make so I was kind of satisfied. I made MANY more than just these :) and I am not really sure what I am going to use them for but I like the way they look and they are all pretty tiny. I figure I can use them on a scrap project or something - I have them in just about every color now! LOL It felt good to be creating - even if it wasn't some crazy loom weaving project or a wall mural....seriously, I have no room for a new hobby! Scrapbooking takes up all the spare space in the house!
So that is me in a nutshell right now and probably for the next bit. All ramped up on creativity and no way to get it out in a way that is completely satisfying. :)
Ah, if this was the worst thing in life then I expect that is pretty good! :)
