Summer found us

Well summer decided to show up and we have been a bit on the warm side of things. Thankfully we have been able to keep cool. I don't do well in the heat, I melt and fall apart. It is not pretty. I am looking forward to the cooler days ahead and being able to have my windows back when we remove the window air conditioners. They just make it feel so closed in. I love having my windows open and enjoying the fresh air. It will be here soon and then I will be mad cause it will be getting cold and I can't have the open windows again.

I have been needing to focus on getting more of my things up on my Artfire site. Finally started again last night. I need to re-work a few items and get others photographed or written up. I unfortunately can not do the craft show circuit any more. It wears me out so much that it is not worth it in the end. I have also been trying to find my style or voice with my jewelry. I have been feeling like I need a direction. Many of the items I currently have for sale were put together for the craft show circuit. I made them so I could get started and now I feel like they are not selling because I have made items that are just so generic or blah. I just have so many things I love and directions I could go and not sure what truly says me. The other hard part for me is our finances just make it hard too. I have always had to watch what I spend. I end up getting what speaks to me at the moment and that may not turn out to be a stellar or items I should actually getting to make into items that will bring in a profit. I have so many things I want to learn so that I can expand my abilities and what I can create. My hopes it that I can get some money flowing somehow to move things on but I have not figured out what I can do exactly at this point. My essential tremor makes it so I can not get a real job because I can not guarantee that I will be able to show up everyday and that creates a cash flow issue. Argh! It is just so frustrating some days. I want this to work for me but it is so difficult to make it work out in the end.

I hope everyone is having a good day and a pleasant summer. Catch ya next time...
