I love to create! But, sometimes I just need a break or run out of ideas and need a week or two to recharge. Do you ever go through this? How do you occupy your time when you are taking a creative break?
Personally, I still like to fill that time doing this with my hands. Most often I will turn to cross-stitch (okay not completely uncreative, but I just follow a pattern and don't need to design anything). Or I like to de-fuzz thrift store sweaters and take them apart for yarn (silly, but I enjoy it) :)
I live near the mountains so when I need a break I go for a walk and just look at them -- or get in my car and dive that way. They're beautiful and huge and relaxing and remind me that whatever I've got going wrong, well, compared to _that_? Just doesn't matter, does it?
Being creative is my break, so I have not run up on this just yet. Now, when I am too tired from work to create, I go to etsy and find lots and lots of new faves :)
I like to take pictures. Just go outside and take photos of what I see from different angles. and with the new technology, they can transform... beautiful!
Well I knit, In but it is akin to cross-stitch. I clean, and I garden. If I am in a real tight to get my creativity flowing, ( don't laugh) I watch non-stop Cirque de Soliel. OK you can laugh if you want to!
