I may have mentioned this before. If I did, I'm sorry, but I'm going to mention it again.
I ran across an article a month or so ago in which the author (whose name I have totally forgotten, and I apologize for not giving credit where credit is due) talked about creative flow. Basically, she recommended having multiple projects in the works at any given time so if you get stuck on one, you can easily move to another. Thus you keep creativity flowing, and you may find that you get unstuck more rapidly than you would have if you had just kept on plugging away.
Sadly, RST 1779 has dammed up my creative flow.
This is the point I reached when I realized I absolutely could not stitch another Queen stitch. Not even if my life depended on it.
If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you'll notice that I do finish things, but I am anything but a monogamous stitcher. About the only thing I've ever succeeded at being monogamous at is being married to Dearly Beloved, and neither one of us is sure if that's just not a case of inertia.
So, I'm going to work on other projects for a bit. I'll circle around to RST again in the fairly near future--for one thing, I'm so close to a finish it's ridiculous--but I need a vacation from her.
And I am never, ever going to stitch anything with a deadline again.
RST is looking good, but I do understand about you reaching that wall especially with all those Queen stitches, Ann. Can't wait to see what you pull out to work on! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI think I will jump around for a few days. I have a pile of things I had to set aside, then I have classes at the end of the week at Salty Yarns. RST will return, but I need a break!
