Feeling Uninspired and Trying to Get Back Into Creating Things Again

Hi everyone! After many months of trying to come up with something to write a blog post about, I have finally realized something: I really am uninspired to make any drawing, clothing, or post any photography.

I’m not sure what happened, but I think it is because I believe I am repeating things too much on this blog. When I say repeating, I mean I don’t actually branch out of my comfort zone of anything art or creative. I have my style, the things I love to sketch, sew, and photograph, and nothing much changes. I often times wonder if I am too set in my ways, but to be honest I think it is actually because I enjoy creating those things more than others.

For an example, I love to make ball gowns. Am I going to a ball or anywhere that requires a ball gown? No. Still, I enjoy making them. I enjoy creating new designs and sewing them together. I haven’t made a ball gown for fun that in a while because I wanted to focus on more practical sewing projects. Since then I feel like my passion for sewing has completely slipped away.

Right now I want to go back to my old yet favorite things to make. I also enjoy blogging about them. Sadly, because I didn’t focus on things that actually bring me joy yet are impartial and not useful for me to create, I started to ignore doing my hobbies anymore.

This year, I’m going to change this. I’m already starting to ship my mindset about anything I used to make yet didn’t have a practical use for. I am also weighing my option for making things I will actually use as well as brings me joy. One of those things are clothes. I want to make myself more dresses this year. I have a large amount of fabric I need to turn into dresses, but never have. It’s about time to start working on my fabric stash!

Another thing I want to focus on is making more art to hang on my walls. I have photographs I never posted online that I want to ether digitally edit to make it look like a watercolor. I also want to use the photographs as bases for sketches. Now that I have an iPad, I can both sketch digitally and on paper!

Feeling inspired has made me feel really down about everything in my life. I am also quite frustrated and worried about many things that are going on in my life, so that doesn’t help the inspiration very much. Still, I am very focused on trying to get myself to start making more things, besides knitting projects, that I will enjoy creating and take great pride in owning!

That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
