Confession

 First of all, I have a confession to make. 

Actually I did mention this, in march, when I made my blue cloak, hoping that things will change, but they did not. And this was one of the reasons, I didn't feel much like blogging, because this is a craft blog, and what is a craft blog, without crafts?

So what was it?

I just could not sew. Yes, I had ideas, I had plans, in fact I had needs for new clothes, I had patterns, I had fabrics, but I just could not. I tried to find the reason for it, and though I did had some ideas, some excuses, I could not get to the root of the problem. Then I tried to bridge the problem, but I could not. 

I was sitting here, staring to my screen, thinking oh, I should make this, I could make that, but I could not even start. Well, that is not entirely true, as I did get sometimes as far as buying a pattern, a few times I even printed and taped/cut them, but only once I got further, when I cut out and sew an edwardian skirt and coat, only to abandon them, before the last few steps (sewing the hem, and putting in the sleeves). 

It went on for at least six months, and only really managed to drag myself out of it in late July and early August.

I have sewn a few things since, but I am still not sure, if I am really over the mojo-crisis or not.  

Did you ever encountered a loss of mojo, like that? How did you react? Did you managed to get over it? how?
