Breathe deep and let it go. Seriously, do it now. Close your eyes and let go.

make it happen

My life seems to be in the yoursobusyyourheadisspinning cycles of life. Seems like 2 months have gone by in half a blink. Since Ellen was here, I've been really pushing the art & teaching thing. I taught three classes last weekend. Two on Saturday and one Sunday. I haven't had a teaching schedule like that since I taught at the Great American Scrapbook Show when I was pregnant with Lillie. I made a 2.5 hour break between the two classes on Saturday in which I had lunch, took the babies to the park and made photocopies for class. I had a good turn out of students (4, 12, and 22 respectively). It was exhausting yet such a fun way to make a living. I have also pursued several upcoming arts events to become a vendor. I've realized that I can make as much working every weekday as I can teaching one day during the weekend. I'm really am trying to make this happen. I don't want to find childcare and find a day job. It would break my heart. So, for now I'm trying to make it happen. Teach classes, do art shows, Etsy, and hopefully more design work. That means I stay up way too late making, designing, and brainstorming in my studio and of course my house will just stay a bit messy as I spill out onto the dining room table with yet more projects. I've been working hard cleaning out the studio. Getting rid of the sales rep stuff and making a functional workable studio. I've even thought about teaching private classes in there. I'm really motivated to make it happen. I find myself asking Paco for 5 minutes here and there to work on it. My work is starting to pay off, you can even see floor space in there!!!

Oh, I got my copy of the new publication called Cards & Trinkets that I have work in. Designing for that company has repeatedly been a disappointing experience, but I need the paycheck. Hopefully I can teach some classes with some of the projects, as they returned that stuff too.
