scattered brain

does anyone else have those days where you have inspiration and want desperately to craft something but can't get your thoughts organized and put something together?  it's like I can think of all these things to make but don't even know where to start.  I have many days like these, actually.  it drives me crazy.

I gotta confess, I've crocheted quite a few things lately that I've been too lazy to snap pictures of and write a post.  too lazy, too busy, too scattered.  one of the three.

anyways.  sometimes I get in to ruts... where everything I make just doesn't do it for me.  I'm a perfectionist, in a way, and rarely am I ever in love or proud of the things I make.  but sometimes I start feeling like everything I make is a fail.  I either frog it or tie it off but never quite finish it.  it starts off good, but ends up bad.  I see all these people who make amazing things and have brilliant minds, and I want to be like them.  I want to always have inspiration and always love what I make.

but every time, I realize we all go through doubts and lack of inspiration or lack of the ability to actually start/finish anything.  even the awesome people who seem to have it all together.  who post every other day about their knitted sweater they started and finished in 4 hours time.  

even if we don't want to admit it, we all have these days.

so my question to you - what do you do when inspiration leaves or finishing anything related to crafts is a joke? what do you do on these days where you can't seem to organize your head and put something together?

me?  I usually just wait it out and hope for the best.

that's inspiring, I'm sure.
