You know, I've been making jewelry full tilt for six months, every single night, and working on my etsy shop, planning shows, promoting, tweetering, blogging, etc. I've made a metric ton of stuff, sold more than I thought, and had a great deal of fun.
Tonight, I got my beads out and thought, "I have no idea." I made a couple of things and closed up the bins and put all of my supplies away.
I think I'm having a bit of burnout. Does this ever happen to anyone else?
Don't worry, the mojo will be back. I think I just need a breakie break, maybe a day or two of doing absolutely nothing jewelry-related. Time to recharge and come back with fresh eyes. I appreciate any advice from my brilliant readers.
Happens to me.
ReplyDeleteJust with the shuffle I've done this last week to add 20 items was a chore. I have fun doing it, but I get burnt out too some days.
Especially with the dang masks!
Take a few days break, watch some inspiring movies, listen to emotion rising music and just breath.
Praying, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You are a dear princess!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. The promotional part is just too much sometimes. Does Etsy advertise the site anywhere, I wonder? None of my friends (all cool, btw) have ever heard of Etsy. It's quite shocking.
ReplyDeleteI've been burnt out for weeks :( I was moving at turbo speed for a long while and then hit a wall. I just don't want to make any jewelry right now. I tried to make some leaf earrings the other day and gave up. Anyway, I just got my first sewing machine, so I've been spending my time learning how to use it. You make so much stuff, I'm not surprised you need a break :) You'll be back to it when it feels right.
