Creative Blog Inadequacy

I have to admit.  I love blogs about being creative from crafts to decor.  Give me a good blog about a "stay-at-home" mom gussying up their home and I'm there.  But, I always come away thinking why am I not that motivated.  How do they do it?  Are they really so full of energy that they can think of a pattern, draw it, (maybe they already have the fabric so we'll skip the part that they shopped) sew it, photograph it and post it.  Oh, and have their family fed and in bed at a decent hour (let's go on the assumption that it's summer so there are no kids needing to do homework) .  Really, is it that possible?  I want to hear about how they were so creative because they never clean their house and their spouse isn't too happy about that.  Or, I've made enough money off my blog that my nanny/cleaning person tidies up for me so no need to worry about my home going to pot.  
"Can we get real here" as some talk show host said it best.

hi Melissa! thanks so much for your encouraging comment on my blog. I don't know about other decorating bloggers, but you'll notice I POST about a lot more decorating ideas than I actually DO. :-) I just enjoy sharing the ideas with everyone because I'm never sure who's looking for what, when. Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
