Wow it’s been a while! All it took was one little vacation and I’ve jumped the tracks (or so to speak!) with the whole blogging business. It seems I’ve jumped the tracks on the whole crafty business a little bit too.

So we had a wonderful vacation out in Las Vegas. It was chilly, but we still had a great time gambling and going to see Elton John, who is perhaps the best performer I’ve ever seen. I didn’t forget about my craft while we were there either. I found some beautiful natural stones at the Rainforest Cafe that I’m hoping to use to make some pendants. I just need to do a little practice work with my wire wrapping so that I can make the stones look their best.

I also did some crocheting, and I was fortunate enough to be able to sell one of my bath scrubbies in flight! I can’t even begin to describe how important it is to have others see you doing your craft. A little crocheting was all it took to create great conversation with my two aisle mates and create a sale that hopefully creates a customer for life! I was so pleased to be able to hand out business cards to both of them. I’m hoping that it will help generate some interest and possibly some business.

But since that time I’ve been a little lacking in creativity, mostly because I haven’t had a lot of time. I’ve had some stuff going on, but I still wish I would’ve tried a little harder to set some time aside for myself to be creative.

So I’m ending with a question for everyone tonight. What do you do or what do you suggest to overcome the lack of time or just the lack of creativity in general?

Until next time, happy crafting!
