this speaks to me...

...does it speak to you too?

Fear and Creativity. For me they go hand in hand. It looks like I'm not the only one (click here and here to see what I mean). I always feel down on myself for never getting the motivation to do more with my ideas. I have lists of ideas, and a folder of things that I think "I could definitly make/do", but the ideas remain lifeless.

From a blog called Noodlehead, these could just as easily be my words:
  • fear that I won't be able to keep up, with my family, my job, my blog, with the 8 gazillion other awesome bloggers out there.
  • fear that I'm not using my time wisely, like I should be doing 'this' instead, etc.
  • fear of creating something someone else has already done and I'll be accused of copying
  • fear of failing
  • fear that people won't like what I made
  • fear that I'll use my favorite fabric and not like how a project turns out, this one's kind of sad, but true

Fear and Creativity. Something to think about...

Love Always,
