Lately, I’ve been having problems of the creative kind. It could be stress. It could be burn out. It could be homeschooling.
It could be all of the above.
Whenever I find myself in this situation, I surf the internet for inspiration. Contrary to what you may be thinking, I don’t always look at other websites. Inspiration can come from so many places. Here are a few of my favorites, in no particular order:
- Mila’s Daydreams – you have to stop reading this right now and go to this woman’s blog. Oh my word – the cuteness. It’s positively indescribable.
- Shop 24 – full of some of the cutest stuff to fill your home with – I love the homey goodness and earth tones.
- How About Orange – Jessica is a talented graphic and textile designer who is always finding the coolest stuff on the internet. One guess what her favorite color is. 🙂
- decor8blog.com – Holly’s blog is a fab place to go for inspiration – lots of curated content to choose from.
- deviantart.com – Not my favorite name, but some uber-talent in this pool. Love looking through some of the art they have created.
Hoping I get my creative spark back soon. I have more than one client that will be really happy.
What do you do when you’ve hit a wall?

What should I do? Take a nap. Switch to another type of creative venture (for instance, if I’ve hit a wall with writing, maybe I’ll go scrapbook–just an example–I don’t actually write or scrapbook!). Examine my (spiritual) walk. Get outdoors.
No time to check these links out now, but I’ll save this for later.
