		<description>Natasha...I think it is normal to have times where creativity and the energy to create...come and go. I write poetry and do fabric art..  My homemaking blog is more of a way to bless others...but on my fabric art blog I show what I&#039;m creating. I have been teaching myself Persian rug weaving...and once I started it and set it aside..it just seems to sit there and kind of wait...  I know that when it is time, I will pick it up again...just like my Colorado Rockies applique.  

Sometimes, it&#039;s better to rest between creative spurts.  Maybe it isn&#039;t that way for everyone, but I seem to churn out three songs, and a banner...and then run out of ummph for a while..and then start up again.  

I like what Lacy said too...sometimes if you look too hard you wonder, &quot; why did I ever think I could &#039;create&#039; art?&quot;...then later you realize wow...that really is beautiful! 

You do beautiful work...I love it!</description>

		<description>Natasha!

Thank you so much for the comment on my story and giveaway.  I did the artists way too! Remember not to be so hard on yourself it&#039;s definitely a journey.  I went through where you are too, beating myself up over not doing the morning pages and then I&#039;d just get back in there and do them again.  It was worth it!  Once I finally got to go back and read them all I was like HEY this isn&#039;t total crap!   I am rooting for you!</description>

		<description>&quot; I know that within my family what that means to one will not mean the same thing to another&quot; well spoken and so very true...what lies within those words is the beauty of each individual...as Natasha wishes for herself and her family so I greatly wish for them with much love...brightest blessings~</description>
