Well, with that thought being screamed, rather than said, lemme show you what frustration looks like:
And wait, here's more frustration on the floor. And I'm left with a whole lotta nothing. Frustrating. Very frustrating. But let's rewind shall we.
5:30 am, up to feed the Cattle...I mean er Cats.
5:37 am, back to bed for a Sweet Hub snuggle.
5:45 alarm goes off
6:00 up to make Sweet Hub some coffee and some lunch for the day. Yes, I'm a nice wife.
6:30 cuppa Chai and its off to The Studio to bang out several projects and get many things accomplished. I'm psyched. I have to get at least two things done before noon.
7:00 nothing is coming together
8:00 ditto above, rummage through boxes of crap looking for stuff that might work.
9:00 gah! I got nothing. I go eat a pancake.
10:00 grrrrrhhhhhh. nothing fits, nothing works, nothing thrills me. it all sucks. negative voice in head becomes a roar. arrgggghhhhhhhhhhh.
11:00 give up all toghether and go watch, "You're Wearing That?".
*sigh*

Maybe it's solar flares or something because I'm having the same kind of day. I'm at the job, not in my art room, but nothing is going as expected today - surrounded by brokeness and mystery.....

Don't be discouraged...some days the planets are just not aligned and it;s best to just go get a pedicure...or go shopping...or something...then the mojo returns and we are up till 3am in the "zone" when we probably have to be up early...Right????

Awwwww! Big hugs to you! Here's what I do whenever I'm having one of those days... option 1) WALK AWAY QUICKLY BEFORE I RIP SOMETHING TO SHREDS, option 2) turn on some relaxing music, get some tea, and come back with fresh eyes, option 3) find something super easy but necessary to do like some kind of tedious prep work painting base colors on something, OR option 4) just realize that these days happen and try again another day! I know you'll get right back on that horse, girly! :) ♥ ya! -Shelly

I have had mornings like that. But not that early. And I don't have a cat or cattle! I hate when nothing works! I hope the pancake was good!

Oh, Cindy, I am so sorry that I am laughing out loud!!! I had a big mess on my hands the other day, and ended up with nothing but burlap stuck all over me.
Hoping tomorrow is better, cause it's not like you don't try hard!!!!!!!

I hate when that happens!!!! Reminds me of the days that I can't turn the bank off and the art on. Usually what works for me is to go someplace like the grocery store or the dentist and while I have no art supplies around me and I'm stuck in a food line or with a drill in my mouth ideas just magically come rushing in. :)

It's hard to force oneself to create. I've been so thankful for all of the inspiration in blog-land, because when I can't create, I can view the projects of others and get myself going again. Same thing with Stampington magazines. That's why I can never part with them....they're always a great way to get inspired.
