The Sling Is Off, but Don't Expect A Lot Of New Content

I was able to take off my sling and wrist brace. YAY! Seems I'm all healed up... until next time, anyway. While I had a broken wrist, I was full of ideas for new wallpaper sets, etc., but now that I am fully able to start creating again, I don't seem to have that same enthusiasm. Especially since I've somehow managed to run into some not-so-pleasant people here on TSR. I know I shouldn't be bothered by other people's bad attitudes, but after putting in hours of hard work on a project that I share freely with other people, it stings when people tell you that you're "not good enough" or to "give it up". WTF?

I'm currently uninspired at the moment, but if any of you have any suggestions as to what sorts of items you'd like to see from me, feel free to let me know. Hopefully I'll get myself out of this funk. I really do like sharing, but I'm wondering if it's worth it anymore.

Thanks ZooMom. Your words mean a lot. I have a few new walls I'd like to share, but I think I'll give it a day before I sit down at my paint program. I'm still somewhat irritated at a few people.

I think I'm gonna go hang out with a pal today. She's good at motivating me by way of giving me a good kick right where I need it. $\:\)$

I'm so sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience with obnoxious people at TSR. It seems like no matter where you go, someone has to waste energy being negative. It has taken me many years to come to the point where I can blow off stuff like that. Well, for the most part. Sometimes cruel comments still get to me.

There is one thing I can tell, you, Mistresscris: your work is astounding! I love the items you come up with. After reading your blog, I realize that you're not just a great artist, but much more. You have a family that you obviously love. You take time out for them, and do things like go to book sales. Activities like that are highly educational for the kids, and time spent interacting with family members is one of those values that seems to be disappearing from this world. Hurrah for you! I wish I could give you about 10,000 tickets $\:\)$

I'm glad your wrist is cast/sling-free now. I agree -- take the hubby along. Your fans don't want you hurt (gosh, that sounds greedy). Keep up the terrif
