still putting new things in my little ETSY shop every day. they aren’t disappearing fast enough! i am not deflated though, i proceed fearlessly and squeal with delight when i get a SOLD email. however, i think i am mostly finished with making these small works. they are pleasant and addictive but they stack up too easily and it is difficult to sell them. they really need to be seen alive. and touched. and i realize they would not do well in a public space because they would be too easy to walk off with, frankly. i think in a booth show, with me manning the space and controlling the display, they could do well perhaps. but … um … when exactly might *that* happen?
it feels odd to have no artTable now, but i like the time off. there is the magazine to work on (yes, t-giving weekend! *and* with the girls here!) and i do have a little box of stuff in case there is a creative emergency. but wallowing about reading books seems tolerable for a week. i am contemplating what i want to do next. i can only have a few supplies out at a time, because there is just not space for everything and i can’t work in extreme clutter. is cloth going to come out? i am so intimidated! somehow i want to make cloth things like the little piece above. i think i can do it … new pieces are lurking in my head
one more day of the office and then the girls will come. i am so glad. it will be crowded and noisy in our little house, but fun, i think. i hope my quiet poet doesn’t go berserk with all of our carrying on. the girls don’t come until 5pm on t-giving day. we don’t do turkey type things, so shall find a place for dinner in kansas city. i hope something is open! and then i really want to see the Bloch Building lit all up at night.
i feel all rambly and blabberish. there was vegetable soup with miso and cabbage for dinner. yum. and clementines. they are supposed to be for the girls, but they are too good to wait. it has turned cold again. i’m trying to put off going back to work and paying some bills. that’s what.
