Permission

So, I think I've given myself permission to stop trying to do my own creative stuff for a while. I was trying to do something to enter in the Kaufman Quilt Quest (of course, it was a Mariner's Compass/Lone Star kind of thing), but I hate it. It's hideous. I kept working so hard on it, trying to force creativity and beauty and inspiration, but how stupid is that? Mandatory fun. I think I'd really be doing myself a favor to just Lighten Up and accept that what little creativity and inspiration I do possess is being channelled in other directions, other ways. Like all the shop and class samples I do. Like the Cure by Design project. Like planning the shop events and classes and displays.

I still want to make something for *me*, sometime. I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
