I can relate to your needing to 'feel' the creativity. I cannot craft if I'm not feeling it. When that happens, I don't force it. I am kind to myself and try to relax. I know that the craftiness will return. It always does.
Happy Near Year Martyna. We have missed you. Take good care of yourself. If something you love becomes stressful it’s time to step back and take a break take the pressure off. We love you, your style and sweetness so we missed you as well as your art. For what it’s worth I certainly know what it’s like to have burn out. Listen to your inner voice and take care of yourself.
Happy New Year! We all missed you! So glad to see you back on here even if it's just a little bit. You have to take care of you and do what makes you happy. You are one of my biggest inspirations in my jj journey. Thank you so much for your inspirational videos and your beautiful work! 🥰
Happy New Year and welcome back! It’s great to hear your chat! And yes please do what you need to take care of yourself. Congratulations on your new job and good luck!
Hi Martyna, I hope all is going well for you. I am going back to your Christmas videos for inspiration and enjoying them very much. Best wishes this fall!🍁❤
Martyna: it sounds like you’re onto a new adventure. Good for you. Sometimes one has to step back and pause. It’s healthy to do that. It’s part of the process. Look forward when you decide to video again. Carol from California
I love that you share your struggle with the creative burnout. I’ve been going through something similar. My primary passion is in glass work (kiln formed) but this past fall some various life events and work stress in my day job started zapping my energy. I spent about 6 weeks out of state due to a family emergency and once I got back home, as much as I had been wanting to get back home and create, I just wasn’t feeling it at all. I decided to allow myself to just spend some time on the weekends relaxing more and in doing so, I started watching more videos on paper crafting and junk journaling and I found your channel. Your content has been so inspiring and has gotten me out of my creative slump as I’ve started playing with collaging and I am starting on a journal project as a gift. And now that I’m feeling like doing more paper crafting it’s starting to make me want to get back to more glass work. I hope you’re feeling better but take your time and know that we’ll be out here when you feel like doing more! 💗 Sending hugs from Minnesota, USA!
Beautiful! No worries. I know it must be frustrating. We all have to learn to go with the flow when needed. It's healthier to just accept and not stress too much about it. I struggle with many things and just have to do whatever I can each day without putting pressure on myself. I made a couple of z fold journals that I really like. I also challenge myself to use some paper I didn't really love and was going to give away. I made 2 simple journals out of the paper and they turned out cute. Am sure they will be someone's taste 😁. I like to create the journals but am not going to keep them. You inspired me to use some of the gold leaf ribbon in my forest journal I made. It really helped dress it up. I like gold also 💖. And I used some gold polish in it😊. My holidays were good! I didn't know if I would be able to host but I did, and it was the first time the family has been together to celebrate since 2019. The tube of glue you use looks so easy to work with! Take care of yourself first 👍
Martyna, You have always been one of my favorites to watch. I feel like we have the same style when it comes to journaling. And your soft spoken words are very relaxing for me. In 2020 I had to have the floors in my house done. I completely lost interest in doing any type of journaling. My creativity went to my other passion : Decorating !. I enjoy it so much. So that is where my creativity was focused on. My boyfriend would always ask me why I did not journal anymore. I had to explain to him that it is not something that can be forced, and I was sure I would eventually get back into it, and I have !. My neighbor, and now my friend has been coming over, and we have been journaling together. It has brought me and her so much joy. It is wonderful to finally have someone to share this with. Not one of my friends are remotely interested in journaling. So I am very grateful for her. I love your channel, and have been watching all of your older videos. Thank you for doing this with us. You are such a kind soul. Many blessings to you !. The tags are beautiful ! 😊😊💕💕😊😊💟💟
Hi Martyna, I'm so happy that you're back, I was worried about you! Please don't put more pressure on yourself, you should be relaxed and enjoying your crafting, not stressed about it. Take time out for yourself and make sure you're not overloading yourself. Sending you warm hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Martyna, I hope things work out for you. I definitely understand when someone gets burnt out at times. I just want to let you know that you are one of the most creative crafters on line! Your journals are always well thought out, very colorful and beautiful, and just amazing!!! I LOVE you channel, and you are one of my favorite people to watch and listen to!! Take care!!
Glad to see you back! ❤️ Your journey is going to be different and exciting! Thanks for asking about our lives. You're a sweetheart 💕. I'm working on really enjoying whatever I'm doing! 😏 that includes cleaning and tasks as well as making pretty books! It's warmer than usual here in Missouri but windy and chilly overall. I made a sweet journal for a 100-year-old lady! You would love the photos of her 90 years ago!
Welcome back, dear Martyna! Very cute cards 🩷 This was the worst Christmas and New Year's season ever! Both husband & I had a horrible flu (not covid), that lasted forever. We are not fully recovered from it yet. The weather has been very grey & rainy in the south of Sweden for ages. Things can only get better! 😆 🙃 /Ditte 🤓
I’ve missed watching your videos on UA-cam. I understand the burnout because I have experienced that myself. I’m hoping your new job is a creative one and is not too stressful. Take care!
Happy New Year and Warmest welcome back Martyna 💓 I have thought of you and missed you, but I definitely understand you need to recuperate and get your energy and feeling for creating back. I have been burned out myself, really tough and heavy mentally and physically aswell. Really felt ill. So please take best care of yourself and take the time you need, listen to your mind and body. I use to sit down and pick something on my table and see what I can make of it without a plan. Like decorating a tag, collaging etc. No thinking involved. This way of Crafting helps my mind, distracting from troubling thoughts and stress. Or I do something like crocheting och CrossStitching. My family and I had a calm Christmas and New Year celebration. Relaxing.
Sorry to hear about your burnout, you definitely needed/need a break but like you say start off basic nice and simple and yes you need to feel your work definitely. That will be great with your sister as she is a brilliant artist in her own right too! Lovely crafting there with your embellishments 😍😀 I think the tier idea is a good idea 💡
Ah I just sent you a message on Instagram yesterday, I had thought about you. Glad to see you here today, and I totally understand what you're saying in this video. My first video of this year was talking about exactly the same thing! Take your time and ease in as you see fit! 💕 Congratulations on your new ventures too. Take care and be well!
Welcome back. Happy New Year. All the best with your new job. I look forwared to seeing you when you are feeling crative again. I experience that myself at times and it is good to give yourself a break and try new things.
Happy New Year Martina I am glad to see you back and glad you are ok - I understand you needed a break to relax and recuperate but I missed you and your beautiful craftsmanship. Take care and don’t be too hard on yourself! Lynne NZ
Hi Martyna, I completely understand having a loss of creative energy. I'm slowly coming out of a huge creative slump. Take what time you need. Good luck on your new job. :)
Happy New Year Martyna💜It was lovely to see your video and know you are doing well. Congratulations on your new job. Will look forward to seeing your next video. Take care. TFS
Hello Martyna, welcome back and happy new year. What kind of job are you going to do? I thought you were very busy with your crafting. Tags are very pretty 💝💝💝💝
My dear, in my place of the world it is winter. I struggle to not be in the valley vs. on top of the mountain. The severity of it is based on mental health and perception of daily impacts, such as news about the world. I am with you.. If I may ask what type of printer do you use??? I make positive messages to be my goal for the day. My printer broke... That makes me sad and needs to be replaced. Blessings to you. I love that I found your UA-cam. 👏👏👏❤️
Hi Martyna, It has been a long time since you have posted. I hope all is well with you. I understand if you are not up to posting and creating, but I just wanted you to know you are missed. I hope all is well with you.
Have a Blessed and Healthy 2023! Thank you for all your hard work and play. Wendy over on The Unexpected Gypsy has a recent video you might appreciate, she discusses *The Januarys*. We can so relate. Your manicure is beautiful, love the soft color. I have started a new 2023 art journal in a basic composition notebook and use magazine clippings. I am using Daphne's Diary 2023 Journal Planner for notes and reminders and get her magazine in the mail for inspiration. Blessings, Catherine from Georgia USA
Hi Martina thinking of you many times and just wondering how you are going and hope you are well? Will we be seeing you again as I miss your videos and craft ideas so much and your lovely presentations. Kind regards Lynne New Zealand
I’m working on a new gardening record journal as my old one is filled up but it’s taking ages as I also am a potter and that has taken priority as I earn more money from that. Junk journals aren’t that well known here and hard to sell unfortunately. 😊
I check in from time to time to see if you're okay. Can you heart this comment to let me know you are fine? I miss your videos and always love your work. I hope everything is great with you and that your new job is still your current one, and basically if all is okay xo Lisa
Hi sweetheart, boy have I missed you. I hope you had a Happy New Year's. Let's see, on 12/31/22 my 2nd Grandson was born at 11:55pm. We were hoping for the 1st New Year's Baby of the New Year here in Las Vegas. My Daughter couldn't wait just 5 minutes. The Drs wanted to be the 1st to deliver a baby of the New Year lol They kept asking her, are you sure you can't wait just 5 minutes longer? Lol He weighed 9lbs 8oz and 21 inches long. He's perfect, I'm in love. I hope your job search goes well and that you find the perfect position, for you. Please give puppy hugs and kisses for Chikita and myself. Hugs to you too my sweet friend🥰❤️😘🐕🐶🤗
Hi Martyna...greetings from Florida. I hope you're doing alright. I miss your lovely videos & voice. You've inspired me so much and I hope you return soon. xo Lisa
I need to rest i suffer with chronic pain and my depression started after I turned 35 and now am 50i have a bit more Time on my hands .I just started doing card marking a d small picture frames. It's hard when pain starts am making a frame card for my new grandaughter Florence on the way xx
We will not be going anywhere either Martyna, so you just take your time, have lots of fun with your sister and we will all be waiting for you when you are ready. You are such a beautiful, sensitive soul, you just take care. xx
(((Hugs))) I am doing good. I'm crocheting more than papercraft. Burnt out from paper duties 🙃 😁. Take care of you, im looking forward to ur next video.
Hope all is well with you! ❤
I am wondering the same. 😢
pressure will not be adding anything positive to your creativity; just take your time to get into that flow again 💛
I can relate to your needing to 'feel' the creativity. I cannot craft if I'm not feeling it. When that happens, I don't force it. I am kind to myself and try to relax. I know that the craftiness will return. It always does.
