Being Creative Can Suck



Just throwing that out there for ya - being creative can suck.  It can really be a drag when I hit a block and can't muster the energy to do anything, or can't come up with any ideas.

On a normal day I have so many creative ideas that I can barely contain them in my head {note:  I will start carrying a notebook just for creative ideas, to jot them down and make room in my brain for more}.

On Thursday of last week I hit a hard patch.  I'm struggling a little bit with a situation; it has sucked all the brain power that is normally used for creating and redirected it to the problem at hand.

Now I have no ideas, and I have no desire to craft. 
They'll come back, the ideas.  I know they will, but I have to give them time.  I think that it may be time for a little "braincation" (my brain's version of a vacation). 

Maybe a little Pinterest and a lot of IG can get the hamsters going again. 

Do you ever have a crafty "dry spell"?  A "crafter's block"?  (I'm really into the quotations today, huh?)

What do you do to overcome your crafter's block?  I need some ideas!!
