We need to learn how to release those bad thoughts, stress, and everything else that is stopping us from living our lives... and journaling is a great way to do that.

You just have to keep at it, and focus on yourself, not what others are doing. Because everyone is different first of all; and second, if you are a beginner, you will just discourage yourself by comparing yourself with experts. But if you keep at it, eventually you will become an expert too :) Exactly. You just have to keep at it, and focus on yourself, not what others are doing.

Why can't mine look like theirs?? I love prim crafting...and what I love about it, is that I can make it mine. It isn't like going by a pattern, such as a curtain, clothing and that if I screw it up, it will be a mess. I love the prim look, the decorating, the warm feeling that it gives my home. However, I see others and think WOW...why can't mine look like that...well, they have been doing this type of craft for years and so many times I have been told this....so very true.

Our minds can put us in a dark place and never be who we really want to be. It is a matter of making a new start, starting TODAY! Never too late, Journal is a huge part of my day and glad to see someone else that feels so strongly about it. It's a release of stressors, thoughts, feeling free to express. Keep in a sacred place, just write away!!! LOVE IT!! Love your blog! so true! Our minds can put us in a dark place and never be who we really want to be.

It has happened to me too! I would suggest trying something new that relates to your dolls. Like, try making mini dolls or teddy's and sell them as accessories for your dolls. Or maybe try making patterns to sell for your doll designs. Another thing to try, is to narrow your choices.. like for example, decide to make a few dolls with a certain theme in mind like "flowers", or with a certain color palette. Often if you work within a very structured set of "rules" for yourself, new ideas start popping up of new ways to expand on those rules. This may spark your creativity and get you excited about it again! :) Hi Liz, I find this to be a common problem. It has happened to me too!

Like the feeling is: It takes so long to finish a project. I wish I could get things done quicker and have more volume to sell. BUT when I craft a doll since I have been making them for 30+ years I am dragging on new ideas and loose momemtum or desire to get started to a finished end. Any suggestions to make my interest come back? I find that since I have been making and creating for such a long time that I am running out of the desire to achieve and produce somthing new.
