To Bead or Not to Bead

[AngieBuns]

Are there any times where you want to bead, and then there are times that you dont want to bead? Kind of like going thru a phase at times, for example: whohooo beading time, and then its like blahhhhh... does that make any sense?

[AngelFeather]

Makes sense

YUP... Im in the no beading phase right now, feels like my creativity is taking a break, getting blocked.. LOL..

But i thinik we are all like that every now and then but eventually we get back to it...and when it does come back.. boy oh boy does the creativity flow

I'm in a beading funk right now too. I almost got inspired awhile back and drew a kick-butt design for my new snag. But that fizzled out.

I heard this in a 'hamlet' out in da woods:

To bead, or not to bead: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take thread against a sea of patterns,
And by beading create them?
Sincerely,
Shakespeare

beading impotence....

lol.. yes, I have it.. lol.. I have been in a beading slump for a few months. Between full time job, going to school part time, raising two little boys, it has finally burned me out. But I have been able to keep up with buying beads. lol.. it's my obsession. I buy beads, barrettes, earwires, headpins, thread more beads, leather, beads, beads, and beads, lol... I have stopped buying four yards of every type of fabric that catches my eye. I could be a fabric store!

Rose! lmao the design or your new snag? j/k

I was just thinking about this yesterday, "are there any other people that get outta the beading mood" I've been feeling it lately. what used to take me two nights to bead now takes me a week. even to do the smallest finisheing touches like beading the edges, or adding on a string of beads to attach a clamp for a bracelet or something. everyday it seemed that i loved going to the bead shop to buy beads, i wouldn't mind the hour drive but now i'm tooooooooooo laaaaaaaaaaaazyyyyyy, gosh!!!!!!!

I am the same way. I have tons of beads and a design but no motivation. Finally last night I was watching the webcast of morongo and I thought-"I should bead"- so I sat there and did my beadwork for almost two hours! That was alot accomplished for me. It's just hard to find the motivation when there's so much other stuff going on with kids, housework, job, etc.

I need to get myself motivated again. I wanna make a bunch of stuff to give out to my relations next month on my trip to AK, and I can't get going!!!
