Thursday If at First you don't succeed do you keep trying?

Good morning Makers:

Hope your week is progressing nicely & your creative energy is flowing through you!

As I stated in my last post I would update you on our new page on FaceBook it is www.facebook.com/forrealmakers I hope you head over there and see us doing lives we do them usually on Tuesday & Friday and we talk about everything & we would love to hear from you comments, suggestions, tips whatever you would like us to talk about. Don't be shy we love feedback and we always keep it real!

Again me and my #partnerincrime Dawn have been extremely busy with the last week of her tutorial (it was 3 weeks and will be available again after the new year) How to Make Signature Tags ending and us trying out products and different bronze clays the week just is flying by and that is something I want to talk/ask about.

When you are feeling stressed about a new design/project and find that no matter what you try it isn't working out what do you do? Do you keep at it or walk away give up or put aside for another time.  I know right away if I am not in a creative mood there is no point for me to do anything simply because I would end up redoing it then throwing it because I am a perfectionist when it come to my work because it represents me and my brand/business. So let's say if I do attempt to create and it isn't going as plan I stop yep stop it saves me time in the long run and I can always go back to finish it. It reminds me of a time when I was knitting up a sweater I have OCD about the stitches lining up and I was almost done and didn't like the way it looked I ended up ripping it out and starting again my husband said what are you doing you were it I said it wasn't perfect so I started it all over again. Have any of you done it?

I guess the point I am trying to make is that we are not on point every single moment of every single day and it is ok to stop what your doing until you feel it is right again I know for myself I will try to get things organized and ready for events if I am doing any or work on my packaging & systems. (two topics we will discuss soon)

Always remember your not a robot your a Maker and we do need a break sometimes without punishing ourselves for taking it. Breaking helps get us get creative again its a good thing!

Always,
Imperfectly Beautiful
