Last week it kinda went under the radar because of the Nouveau Girls release but November 1st was the one year anniversary of my being self employed! For me that's was a big day and a big turn last year when I woke up in the morning and realized that I wasn't going to my day job, remembering my last day at a job I had for 11 years,getting my feet under me and into a routine. THIS was now my...

I want to start off by saying I am not a biz expert or guru. Everything I've learned and may share has been learned by an on the go basis. On the go meaning me going about my work or going to a book or website and reading and researching. What works for me may not for you. Thinking about your creative dreams and goals may be what gets you thru your regular 9 to 5 day job. You may love...

Well its usually light right now at the beginning of the day but you get the idea :) Yesterday, maybe or I hope, you noticed an absence of a post here. I went in full seclusion mode (almost... the lure of emails is unresistable!) to get the designs done for the September Clear Release. I had a new Chrome extension to help me out called StayFocused, it limits your webtime and will block out...

March 1st I started to take an online course called Indie Business 3.0. Its all about doing what you love and helping you take that dream and make it a reality, something we all can totally get behind! The last day of the course was on April 8th and while class is officially over I know the connections we've created will keep on going. To celebrate, alot of the students have gotten together to...

 My Racoon :)I think he's terribly cute! This is one of the things I made for my new Design site. He's in that style I find cute even if he took a full day to make! And I don't mean a couple hours, I mean a couple hours the first night then most of the next day. I wanted him to look cute and fuzzy and instead of just doing an outline I filled him in with small stitches to make him look...

2011...I'm sure everyone has tons of goals and resolutions for the year and my biggest one was managing things better. Hence the word "manage" for my word of 2011. Anyways, managing my time is something I struggle with, I'm sure I'm not the only one, and now that I'm home I have more time but I felt like I wasn't ahead still. All the time in the day and still not feeling like I get everything...

Since my camera finally made its way indoors, I have pics of my last craft fair of the year to share :)The gingerbread men gift card holders were pretty popular :) I've got a couple other pics to show you of other things from the fair.

I'm purty much spending today and tomorrow getting ready, again, for this weekends craft fair. I still have a few things I'd like to do that may or may not get done, I'm a realist if nothing else LOL I want to do some "upgrading" of my signage and make the table display a lil more fun. This go's booth is an odd 15x6ft size so we'll see what I've got for space. Since I don't have a card to share...
