I ought to be tickled pink, except I'm not, really. </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size:100%;">It’s the case of the missing mojo. Again. I know I’ve talked about my mojo a lot, I whinge about it every now and then, and you really are very nice people to listen patiently. Please humour me (or go do something else. That’s ok, I don’t mind a bit, honestly.) </span></span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="yiv1264145440MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="yiv1264145440MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />It’s just that my creative mojo is a finicky creature, I need to treat it gently, nurture it, and oh definitely listen to it. Or it up and goes, and I am left spending my time staring out the window/playing cards/reading a book on the couch/whinging about things to you, dear reader. Or perhaps it’s still there. Hiding in a corner with a slight petulant scowl saying NO.. in a little voice. And stamping it’s little feet. my mojo refuses to cooperate, and it becomes a struggle.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:+0;"></span></span></span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="yiv1264145440MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="yiv1264145440MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size:100%;">I’ve tried everything. I’ve rearranged and labeled everything in a satisfying way. I’ve bought a new lamp. I’ve brought tea and chocolate reinforcements. I even bought a little oven timer in an effort to work solidly for a block of time. I’ve thought of a gazillion reasons to want to sew; but I.don’t.want.to. I <em>make </em>myself and force every.stitch. Which makes me feel rubbish. After all, I have my own studio, full of materials and a nice big table and light and time; how lucky am I?<br /><br />Well it turns out my mojo doesn't like being told what to do. The thought of making <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">another</span> doll the same as the last ones just doesn't excite.it.one.little.bit. So it's gone on strike, and I went and got a job. However, the idea of drawing my mojo for this very post made me want to stride into the studio immediately. Excitement and new ideas, this is the foodstuff of the mojo. I want to make things I have never tried, have my own exhibition of soft sculptures with pointy detailed not-suitable-for-children bits, I want to make things until I am satisfied, not until they are good enough. I want to make things for the love of it, not the money.<br /><br />SO I am working hard to finish off orders, and thinking hard and carefully about my next step, and how I will coax my mojo back. </span></span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="yiv1264145440MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size:100%;">Does this happen to you?<br /></div></span></span></span>pepperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00367937360473180606noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2033515952806978322.post-40801308276290374292011-11-07T07:00:00.000+10:002011-11-07T07:13:32.901+10:00etsy love- upside down<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihyphenhyphenNvauz1REeD5LKNuXx0Xbk86nw2z4Du3R8MaMOsBaj6AG-l7hYD4okNcJtD9Nrnng7aNcOEAXymFsIppTcdYOyJ-M0A3CGTtu4YaTJ45bMnrjGbOXlh3istMEvSwjlq1jpq050izkk_v/s1600/etsy_upside1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

<br /></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">My stockists are growing, and I need to step away from the sewing machine to design new ranges. I am looking for a crafty sewer/ sewing machinist to work with me in my sewing studio, mostly sewing but<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>may be some cutting, stuffing and finishing. You need to be pretty quick, and we can chat about payment per piece or per hour. Suitable for a friendly, creative type with just a few hours a week to start (good for mums too). </p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">Please note that you would be hired as a contractor, not an employee, so you may need an abn (but that's pretty easy); and I'm in Brisbane, so you'll need to live close by. If you're on my blog, you probably already know what I do, but you can see more <a href="http://pepperstitches.com.au/">here</a>.
<br /></p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">If you have any questions, or would like to meet for a cup of tea and a chat, drop me a line at pepperstitches(at)yahoo(dot)com; and if you know of anyone who might be interested, please pass this along!
