I seem to have lost my hooking groove.
Will I find it today?
I walk into my hooking room and it just hasn’t been calling to me. I feel like a crazy girl just waiting by the phone….I want my hooking to call to me, I really do!
Is it possible that my hooking has run its course?
Do I really need a longer break than I anticipated?
Is it just hard to get inspired to hook garden rugs when it’s 4 degrees outside and snowy?
Perhaps I’ll hook, perhaps I won’t.
Sometimes... just picking up the hook and pulling a loop is all you need to get going again... With me not being a winter person, it would be heaven to work on a floral rug! :-) Relax and enjoy! That's part of the whole process!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it horrible when you get in the slump? I've been there ~ not right now, though! Maybe you're doing something else fun?!
ReplyDeleteTammy,
ReplyDeleteI think we all go through this kind of lull or slump. It is kind of like writer's block or a period when we regroup and come back refreshed. Our creativity ebbs and flows like everything. Often it is helpful to work in another medium or expose ourselves to other stimuli - anything creative...like your forages into those luscious magazines. Keep the faith..
Tammy,
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the most talented women I know--in several mediums. But your fresh ideas, your teaching, and especially your sharing of ideas is what makes you such a special person. You are a
"giver" and maybe you just need a little time off to replinish, to just "be." Do whatever you want, whenever you want. Relax in front of the fire with a good book with your pooches. Take a nap. Take a bubble bath. Have some wine. Call a friend. Lunch with a friend. Whatever makes you happy! And when you're ready, we will be here waiting, OK!? Love Ya Girl, Jeanne
