First off, yes I realize that I got kind of lazy this week in terms of keeping up with this little outpost of what happens in my life...Get over it...There, my apologies are done...
It's been another busy week; I spent a couple of days recovering from the open house, and then tried to do some work. It's funny; whenever I sat down to do stuff, there just wasn't a lot of creativity being channelled. It's that time of year where I still have lots of new ideas, but they just don't materialize like they usually do. I think it's just because it's such a busy time; I work full time, spend my evenings working on glass in my studio, and then spend my weekends talking about what I do all week. Don't get me wrong; I love doing the sales, they're just a little...draining...I do need to get some work done this week; I've got a (hopefully) big sale coming up this weekend at the Festival of Lights (http://www.friendsfestival.com/) as well as an order to get out, so I need to get some pendants made. Besides...D is away a couple of evenings this week, so I might as well make good use of my time, right?
The sale yesterday wasn't a overly busy one for me, but it was worth the time invested. My table was next to a couple of friends that I enjoy visiting with at these events, so the three of us made our own fun when we needed to. As well, I might have a custom order coming my way from some people I was talking to, and I have a shot at another place picking up some of my work. It's amazing the exposure that I have been getting from these events. The wheels are starting to turn to get things in motion; it's just a matter of keeping the forward momentum. It helps surrounding myself with great people as well; my partner D, my publicists, also known as My Parents, my self-hired business manager Dani, and the woman that tracked me down and convinced me to do shows that she is organizing. Thank you so much more than you realize...
On another note, the picture of the calla lily panel that I was bragging about a ouple of weeks ago is finally on here...quite happy with how it turned out, if I do say so myself :)
