Burn out

It appears I'm creatively burned out at the moment. Or maybe it's a symptom of being emotionally burned out. Not really sure.

Some know, many don't, that I am a relatively creative person. Always trying new things. I used to draw. I've fairly recently started painting. I sew. I quilt. I know how to crochet and recently learned knitting. I do bead work, wire work, know how to make chain mail (though I haven't yet). Copper enameling, and making glass<b> beads </font></b>(not sure what that particular technique is called). I've also done weaving, I love dyeing and spinning wool into yarn. Published poet, and occasional non-published writer.

The one thing I totally suck at: paper crafting. I'm no good with journaling or scrapbooking. Or stamping.

I'm also learning to fix my car all by me lonesome (Though I need new tools. Every Philips screwdriver I own is stripped, or whatever you call it when the screwdriver moves but the screw doesn't)

I'm totally stressing out, creativity wise. I know in my head what I want to do but can't get it on paper. And the project I'm working on is actually for somebody (a swap) and I'm already 2 weeks late.

My weekend plans? Stressing. Working on the project. And stressing some more.

Maybe go swimming.

*DEEP BREATH*

I knew I was over my head when I signed up for the swap, but my partner convinced me I'd do fine.

 You will be fine and stress will motivate you to finish and get it right just will take more time, you are a amazing woman and you can do it

 backpocket: That's great advice Sadly I'm already 2 weeks late. And Friday was "last possible day to not get negative feedback" though as soon as I send it the negative will go away and turn to "late".

Maybe I'll just power through, send off not-emotionally-satisfying work... and later when inspiration strikes I'll make more and send as a surprise.
