Crossroads
As I lay on my couch with a terrible sinus infection feeling bad that I am not at work, I also lay her burst full of ideas to the point of exhaustion. Sure I make knit and crochet items, sure I make jewelry occasionally and sell them online, but there are other talents I used to use even more than those…
I used to draw and paint constantly. When I was in highschool, I would do two of every art project because I could do a painting in a day when others would need a week. I really want to start painting and drawing again. Is is silly to open a third ETSY shop?
I also want to open an all green shop. I try new things all the time like making beads out of old newspaper, sewing things from recycled materials, paintings on wood instead of canvas, etc. My dream is to work from home and be the fulltime artist that I kind of already am. So do I really have 4 online shops, a fulltime job, be a mom, and a girlfriend? Probably… 
I’m thinking in the summertime, while Gracey is in school/daycare I can work on my crafts and then when she gets home we can paint together! I have always made time to create so I’m sure it will be fine. During the winter, I’m sure it will be hectic but hopefully I get stocked up through summer. I really believe I will be successful in this and then maybe someday it can be my real job and not just a hobby. It will takes years and planning with lots of hard work but I’m willing to do it… I’m nuts!
Well, first off, I would not know if you would need 4 different shops or how you would work that. You will have to ask someone who more knowlegeable about that than me. But, You probably could just have one shop and give it a totally new name like CrazyJane’s Wildfeather Creations!!
Get well and stay that way til the end of the school year!!! I know, it’s hard, but with Dr. Becker on your side it will be easier!!
Love you!! Hugs to Gracey xoxoxoxoxo
