I'm originally from Boston now living in Colorado. I've always been artistically inclined, crafty and such but never thought of myself as much of an artist. In March 2016 I started following acrylic painting tutorials on Youtube and realized I truly am an artist. This is my happy place.
Hey everyone
I'm kinda...sorta back! Tis the season for crocheting I guess. LOL
My grandmother I have been caring for passed away at the beginning of this month. While I am devastated because we were so close, this was 3 years in the making and at least she was as comfortable as possible until the end.
After having not worked for the last 3 years and my grandmother's death I am both distraught and broke. A ghastly combo quite frankly.
I figure the best thing to do is start filling out job applications and get busy with some new crochet projects. Would you believe I haven't made a thing in well over 6 months!?
So as of today I'll be
Not closing my etsy shop; Just hit a slump in sales, creativity, drive.
I take care of my elderly grandmother full time and it's rather physically and emotionally draining.
I'm revisiting old designs to help with new ideas. I hoping to be back in action and better than ever come Winter 2009/2010. We shall see.
I'm trying to stay positive! You haven't seen the last of me!
Thanks for your support!
