very very sleepy this morning. my eyes are sandy and blurry. i wish the professor who makes coffee was here today! if i try to make it, in the office pot, it will taste so nasty, i know. i can only make it in my own pot, and then just barely. not enough this morning though. need more. a little cranky. last week i was looking at tickets for Boston, but was not quite sure of the timing, so did not buy. today i look, ready to buy, and they have gone up $60. shit. oh well it is only money, right? i am having much fun being an online entrepreneur, i think. now that i have kind of settled on small art for etsy, my hands are busy every night and new things appear as if by magic. i am finding old bits that i loved and saved and it is fun to use them now. it seems magic when they sell, too. i even like the packing and mailing part now. i just wish i knew a way to become more visible and desirable. the pieces are sweet, small and very reasonable. i don’t like the term “cheap art manifesto”, but i do like the idea of making pieces that can give visual pleasure and be affordable. especially in these days. i am also enjoying the eBay stuff now, too. i like answering questions and watching the bids and feeling like something that was taking up space and no longer useful in my life has great value to someone else. i have now washed many quilts that i made 15-20 years ago and stored away. not fancy wall kinds, but for babies - non-traditional babies, of course. no pink and blue here. on the weekend i will be able to photograph them in the daylight and then i will list more things. i am getting into it! and my scuffy old fluevogs, too, maybe! it is definitely work, though. but remember, i am escaping into art and work now! not red wine and trashy mysteries! (at least not to excess) my hips ache today. i hope i am not getting arthritis, too. maybe it is just from clomping up and down the hill in lumpy ice and biting cold weather. winter can be done anytime now. where are those little yellow crocus? i’ve been looking…
