Has Pregnancy sapped your creativity?

Thinking back, I have to admit, pregnancy sapped my creativity. Have you felt this happening to you? You find yourself saying things like;
  • I used to enjoy card making and other crafts but all through pregnancy I have not felt much like doing my craft stuff.
  • I started pottery a few months ago but often have trouble with ideas or even getting motivated to make something when I am there. I have wagged pottery several times lately too.
  • I go to a craft group on a Thursday but sometimes I really have to force myself to do something.
  • I am really hoping my creativity returns after the baby is born.
Sometimes we're so focused on our pregnancy, daydreaming and mentally preparing for Motherhood that our creativity does suffer. It can also be a very creative time for some Mothers To Be! In my case there was a lull, so I went looking for something to help me spark a side of me that was always so important. As a painter with a passion for faux painting, known for my one of a kind colorful walls and furniture...I realized I missed the creative flow. I went on an Internet search and I came across the following ad:

Unleash the creative child in you and jump start that creativity once again with an easy step by step program and it's called Unleashing the Creative Child Within you!

Too good to be true? I had to check it out of course and I'm glad that I did. My sons bedroom became a fairyland of orange & blue washes, inspiring ooh's and ahh's from all who saw it. : )

That's all I'm going to say about the results the ebook had for me. If you'd like some inspiration for yourself, check it out and let me know if it helps your creative drive.
