time to start again

As you can tell, I haven't blogged since May. Generally the art fair season does this to me. I hit the ground running with the best intentions of doing all these wonderful things, and all that happens is I spend every weekend working and the days in between replenishing what I sell. Doesn't leave a whole lot of time for reflection, not to mention time to take a breath or create new work. As fall rolls in, I find myself starting to realize that I should've organized things better, taken more time to prepare when I had down time, etc. etc.

My hope is to remind myself that the only thing from keeping me from doing better is me, and that eventually I'll be able to have most of my plans actually work out if I work smarter, not harder. I have to take things in smaller bits and pieces, not huge chunks, as I usually tend to do.

As the signature on my iPhone email says, "the art of flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
