Some times I'll be sewing for hours on end and really churning stuff out, then other times I can't even bring myself to turn the iron on, much less the sewing machine. For me, I know that it is related to my depression. It doesn't sound like this is your problem (because you were able to do your bee block) but you might want to look up symptoms of depression and see if any of those apply to you, just in case. Not trying to be a downer, I just want you to be healthy :)cedacanthushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279903568703311137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613797883539438221.post-72989209787404705572015-11-18T09:47:11.484-08:002015-11-18T09:47:11.484-08:00When I lose my mojo (for quilting or other crafty ...When I lose my mojo (for quilting or other crafty pursuits I do), I remind myself that ultimately it's a hobby and I shouldn't feel guilty about it. So I don't force myself to do any sewing beyond commitments (bee blocks/swaps), and it has always come back!Crafty Coffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12634903767967840509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613797883539438221.post-83900167779156353522015-11-17T23:48:34.387-08:002015-11-17T23:48:34.387-08:00I feel your pain Jen, my sewing mojo went AWOL a w...I feel your pain Jen, my sewing mojo went AWOL a while ago but seems to have returned of its own accord thank goodness. I think like all muscles the creative muscle just needs a rest now and then to recharge. I am sure that your sewing mojo will soon be powering away again, but in the meantime just take the time to sit back and enjoy spending more time with your family.Celtic Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033484481693226138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613797883539438221.post-88476548031937821742015-11-17T22:55:28.093-08:002015-11-17T22:55:28.093-08:00do hope your mojo comes back soon, I lost mine fo...do hope your mojo comes back soon, I lost mine for weeks but now it is sort of back, my trouble is I hate starting anything new, even wearing new clothes I have a problem with!!

I ...I am sorry that I have no cure for your slump. I would suggest just rolling with the flow (plowing through that housework!) until it passes. Maybe stepping away from your sewing room and computer and reading a few quilting magazines/books would offer some excitement. Otherwise, focus on some other things that bring you joy.

And, it has happened before, and sooner or later it goes away, but I don't like it. What I don't like, is not liking to do what I love doing. I always feel off balance when I'm in a slump, but for me anyway, there's no "cure" that I know of. I am trying to make good use of my time doing other things, and then when the mojo comes back, I'll be all ready to create. I hope your slump is short lived.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202672966394490805noreply@blogger.com
