Help me lawd!..lol
It happens to all of us. Some of us more than others, but it happens. Don't worry, it'll come back. Use all your free time to watch really bad tv. lol
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi, I have been thinking about writing to you. I saw your duck tape video on You Tube about a month ago and then I checked out your blog. You do good work and you have inspired me to do my own blog. We all get burnt out from time to time and need to take a break. I didnt put my user name because I just sign up.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck on your line,
Lisa S.
I don't try. I let it work itself out over time.
ReplyDeleteMojos always come back on their own. When my mojo leaves, I get lots of housework done.
ReplyDeleteThis has happened to me several times. I just give in for awhile and rest. It will come back.
ReplyDeleteGo dress shopping at VERY expensive stores. You'll see a lot of great stuff that you KNOW you can make for yourself. If you live in a small town, just check out the dresses on Bergdorf-Goodman's site. It always works for me.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!

You are so funny!!!I have to tell you that you've inspired me to get out of my comfort zone regarding sewing and learn about pattern drafting. Love all the beautiful things that you do. You just have to take it one day at a time and you'll see that mojo come back in no time.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you deserve a break...all that you've produced... AND it's not always some easy stuff. Enjoy your family do some stuff you've put off around the house etc. Your mojo left, but we're [sewing community friends] aren't going anywhere. Continue to peep your head in to say "Hi" though [while we all put a APB out on Mimi's Sewing Mojo]...Alright Chica
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I havn't sewed anything since March. I ready don't have the drive or the energy.. I do know that I need to get on the ball my daughter graduates in June and I have make her dress so I hope mine comes back soon...lol...
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!! TOO DAMN OFTEN! sometimes I force my way through it...or I let inspiration dictate it for me...either way it all depends on how I feel.
ReplyDeleteWhen Jupiter aligns with Mars...don't worry it'll come back.
ReplyDeleteWhen it leaves, make pillows or pillow cases for some young child in the neighborhood. Make curtains or anything that won't destroy your stash:) It will come back it always does, it's in your blood.
ReplyDeleteI never (maybe rarely) lose my mojo, but then 2 weeks ago (and into last week), poof it was gone! I got myself burnt out by having way too much on my plate, my son's big 1st birthday party, writing articles and tutorials (6 in one month) and stocking my etsy shop really fried me. I didn't do a thing - not even housework. Now I can't wait to find the time to sew!
ReplyDeleteYou're not pregnant, are you?

Pleaseee!
And yes, you ROCKS!
girl it happens to me when I get depressed
ReplyDeleteIt happens to me too. After I mope around for a few days, I surf the internet to see what other people are doing that's like what I do. What's the hot thing to make these days? I usually get my mojo back when I find that one project that inpspires me. Then it's back! I get all kinds of ideas and I'm off and running in all kinds of directions. My mojo had left me for about a month. Then I saw your duct tape dress form video, it inspired me to start sewing again!
ReplyDeleteI agree w/Erica B., just ride it out, recharge, refresh and then you'll be back in business.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that happens to me too every now and again, mainly when I am burnt out and just overwhelmed with everything. I don't want to do nothing but pray, eat snacks and relax, LOL.
