Random Tuesday Thoughts

I have been trying to set an Esty store for a year now. But for some reason had a huge block with it...now I know what it is...the FEES. I think it is silly to use a site that is going to charge me fees to sell my "wares" when I have a blog and I can sell my "wares" right here on my own site and keep my own "selling fees." Thank you very much! So...no Esty store at this time. If you would like to order something or see what is for sale go to http://capitolafiberarts.blogspot.com/.

I have been getting orders for hats right and left. It has been fun and a huge learning curve for me. I was not sure how to go about it. Slowly but surely I am finding my way. Thank you to all of you who have been ordering and referring customers to me.

I finally think  I am on the path I belong on. I am looking forward to working out all the kinks. I know in the past I have been a little frustrated with wanting to do "something creative." Not always knowing  how to go about it. My frustration is linked to not really having confidence in what I am creating. I love making "stuff" as I have stated before. However, I have never had a lot of confidence in selling "my stuff" it has always felt awkward to me. I am learning to let go of that. I realize, there are a lot of people, like myself, when I find "stuff" that I like I want to buy it and so do others. I guess, I just never thought someone would like my "stuff" and want to buy it. Silly, I know...but I am really suprised. I just like what I like and do what I do, because I like it, not because I want to sell it. Dunno if I am making sense...I am sure we all have thoughts like this at one time or another in our creative lives.

Yesterday, I was thinking how many times I have heard mom's say, "I can't wait to get back to myself." I was thinking that before I became a wife and mom...I was single and having the time of my life, but I was always searching for something...career, marriage, children....I am not sure if I am ever going to get "back to myself." I am not sure what that is? I am trying to be who I am now...a wife, a mom and find something that fullfills me as a human being. Oddly, making "stuff" seems to be the thing.

Just my random Tuesday thoughts.
