I'm impossible when I don't get to create enough... :'-) So I try to make sure I scratch that itch every day, starting with an hour of fiction writing every morning. My other projects are sometimes pushed to evenings or weekends, depending on how many clients I have during the week, but one day, one day...
I definitely get the creative itch a lot! I find, though, that its satisfaction can be obtained in numerous ways. Maybe it's my Gemini Sun and Mercury, but I find that my mental frame of mind determines whether it's painting, writing, poetry, updating my website or creating a social media post on Canva, which is used as my personal scratching stick. And the itch normally needs attention at least once in the day, otherwise I go a little potty!
"Too tired to design the T shirt" - exactly!! And yes, I am privileged to make my living from creativity (different expressions of it). And to travel extensively as part of that, which I also love. But I build in "hibernation periods" to immerse myself in creative process. Or else I could not do the rest... I dream of a more settled life, growing things...
I love creating. Mostly, I write, but I also make patchworks quilts and both make me feel that I have achieved 'something' beyond the material output. I agree that it is deeply satisfying.

Oh yes, I too have that "one day, one day" mantra going. We'll get there - I truly believe we will!

Oh yes, a quiet country life amongst the trees and the garden beds. I dream of that, too!

Oh yes, there's so much more to the creative process than just the material finished product!
Every time We create something We feel a burst of satisfaction and like you say, Laura, it'll cure what ails ya.
Yes!
