The Urban Acres

Feeing un-creative when you’re a creative person is a very un-fun feeling. Here’s what I do when it happens:

1️⃣ Stop forcing it
The creative well refills on its own timeline. Forcing it just burns you out faster.

2️⃣ Stop scrolling
You’re filling your head with everyone else’s creativity and leaving no room for your own.

3️⃣ Stop feeling like every project needs to be shared
Make something just for you. No photos. No captions. Just make.

4️⃣ Stop taking every project so seriously
Some projects are just for practice. Not everything needs to be an heirloom.

5️⃣ Stop stopping before you even start
Sometimes picking up the paintbrush, pencil, punch needle, etc. is the hardest part. Everything gets easier after you just start.

Did I miss any? What do you do to get out a of a rut?

Who could have done this?! 🧶

I’m not sure if our criminal’s motivations were curiosity or mischief driven, but either way this can be fixed!

You may wonder if adding glue would have prevented it, possibly, but it also can deteriorate my yarn and make it impossible to fix if it were to happen anyway.

I like having the ability to fix something if possible.

The rug is going back in the playroom so it can be loved and enjoyed even if that means it needs a repair once every two years.

And to the person who did this, I will find you and I will tickle your toes!
