I’ve been working on an art project for a few days. It was really a glorified excuse to think happy thoughts about a friend who recently had a baby, but that’s okay. I figured that if the project went well, it could be customized for other folks and sold on my (someday soon to be opened) Etsy…

The Unfun Side of Starting a Business
I’m still a long way from “opening up shop,” so to speak. I’m painting and finding out about printers in the area who might be a good fit for my painting reproduction needs.

Untitled (#685)
Okay, I’ve been thinking about what I wrote yesterday and have come to a few conclusions. The most important thing is that I am decidedly happy to be staying in the same place for an unknown period of time. I have to get used to that concept, but I like it here, and staying put…
