What do I do when I'm uninspired? Well, 1) I have a small charity project going steadily so I can at least feel productive; 2) I read about/look at other people's work; 3) I get other things done in the meantime, 'cause when inspiration strikes I don't want to be delayed because the bathroom needs to be cleaned (like right now); and 4) I look at my supplies and previous list of written ideas.

Sometimes I had a great idea that I wrote down so I wouldn't lose it, but then never got back to. If I look at that list again, maybe I'll remember that burst of enthusiasm, or maybe since then I'll find that my ideas have changed or developed without me even realizing it. It's akin to the visual journal idea that Sharon B. talks about, I think, just mine is textual. The visual part for me is looking at the fabrics in my stash or the other supplies I have built up to remind me that I thought they were worth having, so let's do something with them!
