Feeling impatient
It’s funny how when things start happening you just want even more to happen. That’s where I am this week; trying to reign myself in. At the last minute I found out about the chance to submit artwork for the giant hospital expansion nearby – since I can hear them pounding and shouting all day, it seems like having it include my work would only be fair. I’m hoping that it was synchronicity that made me look at that website on that day as it was highly ironic that I had to send everything off to Texas for inclusion in a building I can see from home. And now that my jewelry is in the gallery I’m seeing new cracks in the business side of things and wondering if this will be a short-lived experience. It’s hard to sell anything if you aren’t open for business. But… some patience is required; not everyone likes to run with scissors which I constantly have to remind myself!
I have plenty to keep me busy – I will be doing my first craft show at the end of November and currently have nothing ready to sell which will need to be rectified quickly. I also have my new volunteer case which was enough to give me some nightmares after I read the file but impatient (again) to keep going which I can’t do until the judge signs the official paperwork.
It’s now been just about a year since I returned from my solo road trip – in some ways it feels like yesterday and in others like it’s time to do something similar again. Instead I’m going to try to create a book from it so that’s also high on the agenda. And although I don’t want to, it’s getting to the time where I need to go find a part-time job while my other enterprises incubate. Things always seem to move like a roller coaster!
