No Time to Create :(

I know we're all busy. How do so many of you find the time to create such wonderful things? Keeping my business running smoothly takes all my time. Between buying, photographing, listing on etsy, shipping, paperwork, tagging show items, blogging...there's no time left in my days to create.  I love what I do, but was just reminded again that I need to find a way to be more efficient! 
As I listed this sugar sack with the most beautiful faded red print...
...I realized that it would team up beautifully with a couple of old voting booth curtains in my shop.  A tote bag, an apron, a pillow...I can see them all in my mind's eye.  I've decided to save a similar sack and curtain for myself, but am wondering if I'll ever do anything with them. I'm truly frustrated by my inability to get to projects like this.  If you have any great time-management tips for me, sing out!  In the meantime, it's back to work for me...

  2. I know what you mean about feeling like there is no time to create, but I just want to encourage you. In your post you said you are "buying, photographing, listing on etsy, shipping, paperwork, tagging show items, blogging."
    With the possible exception of shipping and paperwork, these are all creative endeavors - you are creating!
    Nice job!
