Snails pace?

spring fever, a listless, lazy feeling felt by some people at the beginning of spring weather.

 

Is this what I have?  Moving ever so slowly and not really getting anywhere.  For several weeks now - as the sun has finally come out and the weather warms - I am having a very hard time getting back to doll work.  What is the matter with me?  I have a list of themes, I have heads all ready for attaching and yet I can't even begin to think about sitting down at my table and actually making more progress than that.

I think I am adrift in a sea of possibilities. The strangest thing is that I'm perfectly willing to plow in and clean the screened porch top to bottom; clean closets and wash everything in sight; actually do a weekly cleaning of the house (now I know there's something wrong).

Mr. Finch's snails

I seem to have gotten off my creative path.  I'm trying to be patient with my snail's pace, hoping the 'zest' will pop up one day and my hands will be flying again. 

In a little over a week we'll be traveling out west -- I hope during that time I will become so homesick for my studio that when I get back my mind will be focused and my hands will be busy.  For now though, I guess I'll just enjoy the welcome spring weather and let time be my friend.
