When I lose my mojo, I go to TH-cam and watch videos. Seeing every one doing things and being creative usually give a me a boost!
Thank you so much!
I love it when you audition as you go along. It makes it so much fun watching you..
Thank you so much!
When my creativity is stifled, I start working on my Rolodex cards and start decorating one or two with collage, scraps, tiny illustration bits from my Golden Books stash (that I’m trying to use up), and put a fitting digital phrase or word on it as the finishing touch. I figure that I can handle a tiny Rolodex card and be as boring or elaborate as I want. I’ll do that for as long as it takes for me to feel better. Thanks for this video!❤️😃
Thank you so much!
I watch you when I need inspiration!
Thank you so much!
I bet all crafters hate cleaning because, lets face it, we all have more important things to do, like making stuff. So, when i lose my mojo and cant even get inspired to make anything i actually find losing myself in the housework and cleaning and just having a bit of a break from being creative all the time, and having to be creative, gets the mojo back. Its probably just the shock of having to deal with the cleaning! An alternative to the housework is if you have a garden, go outside and potter around, like the cleaning there is always something that needs attention and being outside in nature and the fresh air just lifts the spirits and clears the head. Thank you for your lovely videos, they are such a gift to me.
I clean when I'm procrastinating! Thank you so much!
Not sure what to do about mojo . . . but wanted to say thanks for your beautiful videos. My 91 yr old mother has been sick for nearly 6 months, ever since lockdown started here where we live. Mercifully, she passed away a little over a week ago. It might sound dramatic but watching your videos in my small windows of spare time has been so helpful to me. I even managed to make a few things myself, which my mother loved to look at. It's all brought me some much needed normalcy, peace . . . and a few giggles - during a very difficult time. Thank you, Rachel. And thanks to Lulu, too. BTW, "Lulu" is one of my many little sweet nicknames for my now-grown-up daughter.
I am so sorry for your loss and hope you are doing ok!!! Thank you so much!
I don't know why
But your videos relax me
Thanks :)
Me too!
Yes I agree her videos make me relax too so I always watch them before bed. 💜💗❤️
Thank you so much!
Clean my up my craft room. I come across things that I haven't used in awhile. It reminds me of what one of my TH-cam crafter done with it. It starts my crafty mind going to make something. Just like life, our crafting will have up and downs. But what might be a down to you, could be a up for another crafter. You are always apart of my day. Big hugs to you.
Sounds good! Thank you so much!
I find I need to step outdoors for a walk around the yard & deadhead the flowers...maybe just a short walk around the neighborhood. or take a nap in our screened room & listen to the birds..even on cool days or light first snow days.
Thank you so much!
"Come on, get off!!! Rude paper!"
You make me laugh each time I tune in!!! Thank you Rachel! Your a delight!
Thank you so much!
All hail the Queen of Collage!! 💖
Hahahaha, thank you so much!
When I feel “ehh” I allow myself to do what I want and not what is on the “to do” list. Usually it is something simple that I can do while watching a movie like colouring with my pencils, crocheting, hand stitching on fabric journal cards or mending my son’s dog’s stuffed animals....lol. Anything that I find relaxing. I sometimes just read a book. Then after a day or so I watch my favourite crafters and become excited and inspired and I am back to crafting. Tfs and inspiring Rachel. 💕🤗🇨🇦💞
Thank you so much!
Hi Rachel, I know how your feeling, I have anxiety issues at the moment, really struggling, and not very productive, just stressed. I love your master board, the end results are fab, and inspiring. Have a great weekend xx
I hope you're ok!!! Thank you so much!
You are very inspiring even when you think you're not. Your so funny sometimes and that helps me get back to the fun part.
Thank you so much!
I think that the current news about Covid and the fires and on and on is making people lose their mojo. When I do, which is often, I give myself permission to do nothing. You should see my kitchen today! I just find a novel to lose myself in, but I’m lucky because I can do that easily. During our first lockdown I got down and I decided to find a world I could lose myself in and I read all the Game of Thrones books and they were good and that took me about a month or five weeks. Losing my mojo is a familiar feeling since I had to shield during first lockdown.
Thank you for coming on to make yet another fantastic video. 😊🌷
Thank you so much!
If I feel sad or don't know what to do next in my craft room I go for a long walk at the beach. It usually clears my head
and then I go back to creating something wonderful while watching a video of yours. TFS
Oh that sounds lovely!!!! I should try that sometime! Thank you so much!
So beautiful Rachel as always, know how your feeling about being overwhelmed as I'm feeling like that also at the moment. Just do a little everyday and you will get there like me. Just love watching you so much using all your gorgeous papers. Sending big hugs xx
Thank you so much!
I watch you regularly Rachel, but when I lose my “mojo” I plan a Rachel evening of inspiration! I usually rewatch 2-3 videos I have saved before I go to sleep at night. So I fall asleep dreaming of ideas that inspire me and how I can make them my own. Wake up refreshed and ready to create. Thank you!
That sounds like a fabulous night of dreams!!! Thank you so much!
i know Im kinda off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Gianni Lachlan i watch on Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
Great idea Rachel! Your sense of colour and space is always inspiring to me. When I really get stuck I start making bases for mass making which eventually leads to decorating to journal ideas and onward. Watching your videos and those of so many talented artists also gets me going! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us all. Hugs and blessings, 🇨🇦🤗❤️
Thank you so much!
Honestly Rachel I collage, doesn't matter what I make it into, it just helps get me started. Sometimes I make a lot of collages! Lol!
That's a good option, mindless collage! I like that!!!! Thank you so much!
I think this is really my favorite of all your collaged master boards! The tags and journal cards turned out stunning.
Thank you so much!
We all have down days when even the things we enjoy can get tiresome. Then the sun comes out and our mojo’s back and we create something better than ever. All your projects are inspiring. We have small children next door and it can get irritating when they scream and shout all day.xx
Thank you so much!
Loved it! Both the process, the talk and the result! 😍
Thank you so much!
Good evening 👋😊 Rachel no worries we all loose our mojo now and then so we are still here for you as for me I go for a walk and look at everything around me then I find myself thinking about the shapes colours and sounds around me and then I think WOW thats cool it would make a good to paint or draw or etc stay safe and be careful 🙏🖌️🎨✍️💌
Thank you so much!
When I loose my mojo, I try to find something new. There are so many incredibly talented ladies you never run out of ideas. Something will trigger your next project. If it’s any inspiration you are incredibly talented lady and an inspiration to us always. Love your channel.
Thank you so much!
I was getting a little anxious with your arm under that blade! Love your creations!
Thank you so much!
Lovely pieces! Sometimes when I’m feeling overwhelmed, I just do something a bit different to give myself a break from all the projects that I know that I “should” be doing! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. 😃
Thank you so much!
Have to agree with Kandies Krafts tidy up studio but have my favourite music playing. Nothing better than singing & dancing while working.
Sounds like a great idea!
Very satisfying to watch. I like the colours in this.
Thank you so much!
When I need a little inspiration boost, I turn to your channel! LOL Seriously! I read the news, then, check my e-mails, then, I go see what new videos are on TH-cam. Yours, Tina's, and several others. I really look forward to these! I like your style of doing things. I always work on something while watching and listening. It keeps me busy, too!
Thanks!
Su
Thank you so much!
Oh Rachel, these are gorgeous!! I was already in love with them & then saw the closeups at the end! The texture of the needlework is exquisite! These are my cup of tea! If I had all those papers I would probably do this technique till I had not one scrap of paper left! I hope you’ll do more of this!
Thanks so much 😊
Love the colors you used and the decorating. you make it all look so easy! Thanks for sharing. I love watching you tube for ideas...have all the supplies, and as my girlfriend teases me, she says if I ever do make anything I'll have everything to work with!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you
Very pretty master board! When I lose my creative mojo I do something like work in my garden, watch a girly movie, read a book or magazine, then go back to my crafting studio and put things away, reorganize something small like my ink pads or papers or just look at all my supplies and papers. Usually by then I am getting the bug to make something so I watch a couple of videos until I am inspired. I just went through this last week and it worked. Sometimes I just take a nap, have a snack and try to get back to work, and that does the trick as well.
All sounds like great suggestions to me! I'll have to remember those!! Thank you so much!
Lots of great ideas here - thanks for continuing on and sharing your creativity even when you aren't "feeling it". Hope you find your mojo soon 😘
Thank you so much!
Love this method of collage.
Thank you so much!
Loving these backgrounds...
Thank you so much!
When I loose my mojo I usually just watch videos, then at a moment I least expect it YOU inspire me☺️
Thank you so much!
I watch a favourite youtuber when I am at lost at what to do and it doesn't take long for me to discover something new or something that really hits a cord with my soul and I am soon back at creating again... Just can't imagine you to be short of ideas, never thought of you guys struggling to get started... especially when I have seen make a masterpiece from virtually nothing... not much help am I... sorry.. but I did love this video as always... Cheers for Sharing...
I think I'm lacking direction more than no mojo. Just not sure what project I want to tackle as there are so many! Thank you so much!
Love the sampler collaging!!
Thank you so much!
Love the sampler masterboard idea!!
I'm sure it will! Thank you so much! Stay safe!!!
Personally, I try to learn a new craft. Or go through supplies I haven’t seen in a long while. That is especially useful when I can’t think of what jewelry to make. Watching you do slow stitching really helped me, tbh. --Rosee
Thank you so much!
Another awesome idea!
Thank you so much!
It’s nice to know that even people with TH-cam channels lose their mojo. That is the biggest reason I hesitate starting a channel. When I lose my mojo, I just make random ephemera
Everyone looses it now and then!
Soo gorgeous Rachel❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Hi Rachel. Lovely video and cards as ever. I love making the collage master boards too, especially seeing the results after cutting up into smaller pieces. As for “ mojo” it can be one of those situations of “ do as I say not what I do” . I think actually reflecting back on the amount of work you have actually been generating and see that you have done soooooo much and you might be a bit tired and you should be giving yourself a big pat on the back for everything you have been achieving. Finishing stuff also helps or just “ give yourself a break” from self criticism. Who knows.....?
I think you are so right! I've fallen into a heap, lol! Hopefully i get back on track soon! Thank you so much!
What do I do when I am in a creative slump? I go through my digitals for inspiration. I'll make a masterboard just as you are doing and not worry about the outcome. I tear apart books and cut out ephemera. I step away from paper and relax with needlepoint and embroidery. Finally, I watch videos for inspiration =) Thank you for posting!! It's always fun to share time with you =)
Thank you so much!
I so enjoyed this one...thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
So pretty ! I need to do something like this! When my mojo runs away I get on TH-cam and always find inspiration! My problem is that I get so inspired I don't want to go to bed !! Lol !!
Hahaha that's always a danger, lol! Thank you so much!
I love this Rachel! I have so much scrap material I think I’ll give that a go, too! Thanks! 🦋💗
Thank you so much!
I like the process. 🥰
Thank you so much!
When I loose my mojo I binge watch your videos
Hahaha, thank you so much!
I watch TH-cam videos till I find something that strikes my fancy lol. I’m sitting here working on my Halloween journal and watching someone making pockets out of envelopes. So I grab a few and sit them here to remind me it’s something I want to try. And I watch you of course so I have a bunch of stuff sitting here to make. I do wish I could make videos but I am not a talker and that won’t work for making videos. And it’s still summer here and we had frost last night.😳🙄
Wow frost already!!! It's finally cooled a little here but it has been humid! Thank you so much!
Lovely master board Rachel. Hope things settle at the school. Here classes are going in at different times and through different gates. No parents on the school grounds. Kids have been back four weeks in Scotland. Seems to be going well. It's the idiots who come back from Turkey and spread it by working in a supermarket, then go to the local pub that spread it like wildfire round here. Have a lovely evening. Hugs x
So far so good. Pick up is a nightmare as they have all the schools coming out at the same time. It's terrible! Thank you so much!
It’s hard to be creative on demand. You work so hard on your videos and shop😊I must be relaxed to be creative . Sounds silly I know but sheen I’m stressed I just don’t know where to start. I do love watching you!
I must be relaxed too! Thank you so much!
Beautiful project. I love this idea. When I lose my mojo I use that time to fussy cut. That way I'm still accomplishing something.
That's a great idea!!! Thank you so much!
I know when I’m feeling meh it’s usually hormonal. Menopause is killer and comes and goes. I also think having a lot of things to get done and the having to go to the school twice would make it hard to start and stop. Until it’s a normal time routine it would throw me. And add the worry f what to video doesn’t help. I think the best thing to do for that is to make what you feel like, what you need and just do what you do. Who cares if we’ve seen it a million times. I watch your videos because I like you. You share your every day life and I feel connected. On a side note I think I have a mild case of the unmentionable. Can’t smell or taste anything. But, it’s not worthy of a country shut down in my case. I’m staying home and not sharing. I had my son from Maryland here and the family all got together. Only 4 adults got a mild case out of 8. And 9 kids didn’t get anything, one with bad asthma. So we’re lucky. I’m not good with no mojo. I usually wait it out. So no good help here. 😂
Oh dear sounds like it to me, my friends lost their taste and smell!!! Hope you're doing ok!!!! Thank you so much!
Love these samplers! Fun project!
Thank you so much!
DROP PUNCH STANDING NEAR TABLE USUALLY FREES IT NO DAMAGE.....NEW TO HERE ENJOYED VERY MUCH.
CAMILLE 🇦🇺
Thank you so much!
I forgot to say a surefire way to recharge my creativity is to buy a new craft thing! Stalking pinata inks at the moment 🤣
When I lose my mojo I usually sort and clean up and organize. Often I will find an old abandoned project that I thought was crap but find new appreciation for it. That sometimes will light my fire again. Good luck! Thank you for reminding me of Treasure Books list 😍
Hahaha buying something new sounds like a wonderful idea!!! Thank you so much!
Love the straight edges. I like things orderly. Hard for me to do the torn edges. I’m working on it. The colors in these sampler boards inspire me.
Thank you so much!
When I'm not inspired I make little fabric clusters and sew a button on top with coloured thread. That or look at my buttons. They are a bit of an obsession of mine since I was a girl.
Take care and thank you for your support xxx Catherine
Thank you so much!
I tend to just start fussy cutting out of different magazines. I love this, the straight edges make such a difference. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Just had to stop your video to purchase and print off you Sampler and fragments kit 1......it’s gorgeous.💖
I hope you enjoy them! Thank you so much!
Hi Rachel. Losing mojo comes from several things. You mentioned chaos several times. Your routine has changed dramatically from beginning of summer to now. That’s chaotic. Then the school situation is also chaotic. If you have a lot of projects that need to be started or finished, that’s also chaos, both physical in your room and mental in your mind. Like you said, working on several things at once but not getting them completed or done well....all more chaos.
I often have to decide what’s causing the mojo issues. If it’s chaos, I either work on and complete one thing at a time, or I straighten and organize. If there’s something wrong, like life being turned upside down, I give myself a break, walkway and not try to do anything, then it becomes clear to me what I need to do and how it needs to be ordered. If there’s just a lack of interest, I either walk away and not do anything, or, I pick up soothing small and work on it and make several....mass making you might say. Then when I get bored I find I have ideas for more things to do.
Though it doesn’t seem you’ve lost mojo. It seems more like you just have to adjust to the routine change. Big hugs.
I love the simplicity of the collage you did. Great idea! 🤗💕
I think you hit the nail on the head. It's more my focus than mojo, I have a bit thing I need to get finished as it's blocking everything else. Today i will focus on that!!! Thank you so much!
Nice, great idea. Will be doing the same.
Thank you so much!
So pretty
Thank you so much!
Interesting concept...will give it a try😎
Thank you so much!
When I’m feeling a bit “ehh” I tend to do something completely different. It usually happens to me when I’ve been doing a lot of similar projects. Last time I made a faux book box to keep some treasures in. It was fun just playing with different mediums and I tend to discover things I hardly use. 💕
Thank you so much!
Those turned out just LOVELY, the school sounds a mess but hopefully they can reassess and make it a smoother operation. I ‘now you have things lined up but maybe you could take all next week and just do what you WANT to do..like, maybe five different days of collaging with different guidelines (neutrals, colors, florals, etc). No stress - just playing. Just a suggestion 🤗😉. Take care, Rachel, I’m sure your Mojo is just taking a rest and will return soon.
Thank you so much!
How lovely!
My mojo is missing at the moment so I’m focusing on task such as cleaning and organizing.
Thank you so much!
Just came across your channel, and I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed this afternoon with you , if I was as clever as you we could be twins ,but I am getting there ,I have mastered getting glue everywhere,and have jammed the corner punch more than once , now I just need to work on getting a finishing product, that’s look so lovey xx
Hahaha you definitely sound like a twin!!! Thank you so much!
When I lose my mojo I do masterboard ephemera or watch You Tube videos for inspiration. I also have been known to go Etsy shopping to get something new to play with.😃
Thank you so much!
I go through my stuff and tidy up lol usually I end up seeing something I have to craft with lol
Hahaha I do that too especially when I'm procrastinating!
I pick up a book and read, soak in the tub and turn my mind to a quieter side. I then go into my room and go through my papers, or organize a space, and then either a special piece of paper sparks an idea, or of course there is always a time to make tags or something else you can us on my next project.
Thank you so much!
I feel like that when I have commissions with lots of instructions as my creativity is squashed and I need to be able to just do as I wish ... Loved this masterboard, when I'm creating I ought to turn my camera on as I always talk to myself...full blown conversations just like you but you have the excuse of followers and a camera but I do not haha...tlking of Italian roads we used to go to Italy yearly for about 12 years as my Father in law was Italian we stayed with family in Pavia, but the traffic was scary with the motor cycles/scooters and bikes they were manic bobbing in and out of cars and pedestrians and the car horns would be blasting a plenty haha. Fun to look back on but not at the time x
You should give it a go!!! Thank you so much!
Oh and when I have paper too small to hold for cutting I attach a sticky note to it to make it easier to hold
Thank you so much!
Loved watching this process Rachel!!! Personally, I think when you lose your Mojo...you should stitch something...slow stitch, embroider, Jessie Chorley it up!! I would love to see that!!✂️🧵💕xo
I think you're right but if I feel tired i can't do it. Thank you so much!
I turn on your videos (sometimes again) to get myself moving!
Thank you so much!
Low mojo and that school pick-up would push me over the edge. But, know you will be back to mojo queen soonest. Hugs, Rachel, Carol xo
The school pick up is shocking! Stef found a different a different spot for me to park so I tried that yesterday it was much better! He's such a clever one he went on Google maps street view and showed me where to go! Thank you so much!
Really pretty! Go watch some videos by people that truly inspire you. Or walk away and do something really nice for yourself!!! You deserve to be good to you!!!! Blessings and Hugs 🤗
Thank you so much!
I fussy cut, cut shapes out of fabric scraps, tidy my sewing baskets (I rediscover bits I'd pulled together to make something that light the creative fires again) etc
That sounds like a good idea so you feel like you're getting things done! Thank you so much!
Sorry no help there lovey, i have been feeling blahh for the last 2 years and cant seem to drag my sorry, you know whatsit out of it...lol. Another beautiful master board idea Rach, at least your videos make me feel a little less ehh xoxo 💖👍🏻
Oh my word you are so funny!! Thank you so much!
When I lose my mojo, I take a good, long walk, then organize my studio to look for inspiring, ‘forgotten’ treasures...
Thank you so much!
I watch a video or two
Lately I been binging on
The Paper Outpost
Thank you so much!
Go back over some of yr creations..you will be astounded how beauitful yr work is..❣🇦🇺
I think that sounds like a great idea!!! Thank you so much!
I know how your feeling. I m starting to clean out and declutter. I have so much around me I don’t know where to start. Nearly 300 sets of Stamping up Stamps a girlfriend is going to help me sell on a SU website. Bless her ❤️ then I need to start on the papers, ribbons, materials books blah blah blah. Hopefully it will help🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣something has to ❤️🥰❤️🤣good luck to you 🥰❤️
Oh wow that's so many stamps! I never counted mine, I might be surprised!!!! I need to declutter too it's a huge job! Thank you so much!
I go back and rewatch all the videos that I wanted to try the project and that takes up a lot of hours LOL.
I may need to do that! Thank you so much!
When I lose my mojo I get onto Pinterest and start to copy something there and before I know it it’s morphed into my style. Or I take a break and work in another craft style such as knitting or embroidery
Pinterest is a good resource for me too! Thank you so much!
I love collage pages but am nervous of making one !! X x
I think you should just do it you might be surprised!!!
Loved it ....except for when you reached under the blade those times, I squealed....showed hubby he laughed at me squealing...hahahaha....I'm sure the blade was up higher than it appeared to be on screen...but golly ya scared me...sending hugs...K
Hahaha I didn't even notice! Good thing you told me so I'll be more aware next time! Thank you so much!
Me encanta.
Thank you so much!
Fabric mojo: I open my footstool and feel around in my fabric bits. Paper mojo: browsing through public domain pictures usually does the trick.
Thank you so much!
That’s why housework never gets done in my house, so much to do and don’t know where to start so I just craft instead. Lol
Sounds good to me!!!
Rachel that’s really nice I love it very much it’s a good thing to try xx
Thank you so much!
When I’m ehh I open a cupboard in my untidy sewing room and sort one shelf at a time ! Then I can see what I have .. get on utube or Pinterest ... bam!,
Thank you so much!
I just start looking at my stash. Sometimes I organize a bit. Then I usually find something to college or bases to make.
Thank you so much!
You were missed! I bet part of your ho hums could be Lulu starting back to school....you are used to her being home and someone talk to and now nothing! I felt a little abandoned when my guys went back!
Thank you so much!
I tend to take a break, do something totally different or go shopping! For some new, fun, supplies!
Thank you so much!
I missed you. Take care.
Thank you so much!
