My son has told me that I tend to use my blog like a newsletter and then forget my newsletters altogether. He is, of couse right.
The past 3 years have been a whirlwind of constant activity. There was the opening of my studio, teaching, writing the book, making artwork for the book and more writing for the book. Some where in there I had to close the studio but kept teaching and started working for someone else fulltime.
Not to mention marketing the business, parenting a 15 year old, send the 19 year old off to college for the first time and parenting him in a completely new way!
Oh and did I say I am married and make an attempt at
house cleaning, cooking and seeing my Mom and Dad. And friends...I have friends!
You get the picture.
Sigh
Now I am working for a different someone else, but only part time.
The book has been out for just a couple of weeks and I have a potentially new somewhat regular writing gig that is still a secret.
Shhh
Throughout all of this I have grown, grown and grown some more.
Sometimes it has been an ouchie.
But mostly it has been great.
I am finally starting to catch up on the business of
CherScapes.
ie. setting up my new home based studio,
putting up my new profile on
TAFA (almost finished!),
reopening my
Etsy Shop with the addition of posting/selling some of my textiles
(up but not yet full, so stay tuned on that one),
seeking out new venues to teach at (to be announced in my newsletter),
almost ready to send out my newsletter (leave me your email address if you'd like to be on my list),
and
making art!
PROGRESS!
I leave you tonight with a new image of my first "Little Miracle."
(See the previous post.)
Once it was posted, I saw how much work it still needed.
Please note that I did NOT remove it.
Because this is my blog - which is meant to be about process.
Progress!
