From the wee age of 5 (okay, I’m not sure if that’s accurate, but I was a little kid), I’ve had a pretty regular tradition of getting sick around Christmas. That very first time, getting sick coincided nicely with watching The Silver Chair on PBS. Nothing like a scary movie with subterranean creatures and lots…
Art Sale: After
I won’t keep you in suspense (because I’m sure you’ve been biting your nails about this for days)… My very first art sale was officially a success. Woohoo!!! I was so nervous the day before. My table neighbor at the sale said that her first art sale was like putting her underwear out for everyone to judge,…
Crafty McCrafterson (a.k.a. Craft Sale tomorrow!)
I don’t think of myself as a crafty person. Sure, I can staple some fabric around a canvas to make new art for my house, but that’s about it. I’m no good at gluing things together, and the clumsiness proceeds from there. Anyway, it turns out I’m craftier than I thought. I’m officially a part…

Start-up Encouragement
First of all, I was under the impression that my last blog entry was a week ago. (Oops.) Second, it’s been a good week for my Etsy shop. (Yay!!) I haven’t made my first million yet, but I did make a sale to a total stranger who in no way felt a need to boost…
Small, but valuable.
