Artistic Musings

Tonight I buckled down and started looking at my finances and what I have and haven't done artistically in sales this year. First let me explain - I have done hardly anything to make or push any kind of sales. Everything I have currently is sort of on automatic pilot - a couple things on Etsy, some images on a public forum on Cafe Press, and my very outdated webpage - of which I'm not even certain which email it's supposed to send to if people have questions *blush* Alot of cleaning needs to be done to at least give a fresh start to the remainder of this year, and the beginning of next year. I sat down and hand wrote all the various things I want to (and need to) keep a record of. I got out an archaic 3 ring binder with tabs and paper. I realize that the computer is more efficient - but there is something fun about having a tangible book to play with and decorate and .. well - be artistic with as well as logical. Then I started looking at the sites i do play on and s...

I am so pleased with tonight. I made alot of progress on my battle plan, and some real forward movement into the future. I still have quite the to do list, but at the top of that is to get to bed at a reasonable time so I can hit it again in the morning. There is nothing standing in my way anymore from seriously pursuing what I want to do, and what I believe I can do. The sky is the limit and now is the best time to begin. I have had so much on hold for so long - I'm just busting at the seams to get ready and start making this real. There are no rules - I can make, draw, sculpt, create anything I like as long as I have the supplies. I don't have to stick to one particular thing - it's fluid right now. The more I do the more I'll find my style and my flavor in what I like. It's very exciting, and worth every ounce of belief in myself. This is for me, for my boys, for our future together. A step - a breath - a beginning

It's now November, and alot of changes have occurred in my life. I haven't glanced at or even looked at my website in nearly a year - not really looked at it. It's time to clean house, add new artwork, and delete old outdated stuff from it's hallowed pages. I have new friends with lovely websites that I would love to link, and I refuse to put their work on an old outdated website that has enough dust to be a health hazard. it's time to rebuild, rethink, and believe again. I have alot of work to do - so I will keep this short and add updates as I go along. Cheers :D
