Beading Block

I don't know if there is such a thing, but if there is I had it last night. I had bought some new beads and I finally had a chance to get my beading stuff out. So there I sat at the table last night just staring at my stuff trying to figure out what I wanted to make and I couldn't visualize or create anything. I even thought I'll just make a simple pair of earrings with some cool shaped black beads I had just bought. I still couldn't come up with any thing. It was very frustrating. I think part of the problem is that I'm being to stingy with my beads. I don't want to use them all at once because I might come up with a better idea(or in this case an idea) and I will have already used my precious beads. My precious, my precious, I'm starting to sound like that freaky guy from Lord of the Rings. Hopefully, I'll have a brain blast and I will come up with something awesome. Or maybe I'll just ask my sister-in-law and use her creative juices to my benefit.
