Uninspired. Meh.

I've been feeling completely uninspired lately. It seems that every cute thought I have, someone's beat me to it. I don't want to make products out there that everyone and their sister have. I don't want to be part of the cookie cutter life, where everything is the same in different colors.

When it comes down to it, how do you get inspiration without looking at others' work? And even then, how do you change it enough to not copy theirs and make it yours?

I create as a sort of therapy for myself, but it's not helpful when my creative juices are not flowing in any way. It's more of a burden at that point.

I did make some cute little zipper flowers, but haven't turned them into clips or anything yet; I'm trying to decide how they'll look their best. They are adorable. I need to get pics of them and post here.

I need something to kick my mind back up into gear so I can start creating again!
