It's hard to believe that Christmas and New Year's is over with... pack up the decorations, clean up the wrapping papers, cards, ribbons, boxes, and confetti for another year... Vacumn up the pine needles on the living room floor, and re-stock the pantry with "regular food." I've always liked this time of year, cleaning up physically and mentally from the past year, it gives me some mind space to roam around in for a while...
Some new things from 2011 (the good, the bad, and the ugly): Met and fell in love with the man of my life, moved to PA, became a stepmom, and got engaged. Lost my job, started a new business, learned how to re-finish a wood floor, went into a sweat lodge ceremony. Watched my mother struggle with surgery, chemo, and a radically changed life, met my new cousin Easton, and wrote a children's story.
It's been two weeks since I've been in the studio to work, and I'm getting twitchy. Thank heavens school starts again tomorrow, and life gets back into it's usual routine! I have a hundred new ideas for designs and product lines, new photos need to be taken, new items need to be posted on etsy, and applications for summertime art shows need to be written and sent in. Submissions to magazines need to be mailed, and planning for new projects need to be started.
I wish everyone a (belated) Happy New Year and the wish that 2012 brings health, happiness, and prosperity to us all.
