Am taking a catalogue of my artwork in case I hit any angel stores

in Florida. And, I am taking my book of pictures of my paintings. Just in case. Hope to do nothing but hug and hang out with grandchildren and their folks. But, one never knows. Sign in to see full entry.

Painful rebeginnings.

I made over ten fairly large and complex things in clay on my first day back to it in two years. The clay was too wet and that complicated things that were larger and had to stand on their own. However, I have been unable to get back to clay for two days now. I clean house, cook, do strange things... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes you have to retake an old path and stumble to remember

NOT to go that way. I joined our city's TPAC Open Studios tour and made my paintings available down at the Centro Cultural for Saturday and Sunday. THe weather was wonderful on Saturady and windy as heck on Sunday with the threat of rain, tho' it never did fall at the Centro. I chose the sunniest... Sign in to see full entry.

Finally got some new products up at cafepress.

After I painted the wall in front of my house today and then ran out of paint with only three feet to go, I stopped and began to rake and sweep and water and other things. Suddenly, I remembered that these things do not pay the rent and I went inside the house to play with images and to post some... Sign in to see full entry.

I am making things for the free booth in the Green Festival. I have told

artist friends to make things and to come and sell them, as I have little to sell there. One friend is loaning me her booth covering tent or whatever they are called. I have ordered one table and two chairs from the sponsors and will bring one table of my own. BUT, what to put on them?? FAce... Sign in to see full entry.

It's not easy working on a mentally impaired computer.

When I open my ULEAD program to play with photos initially, before playing with them in Adobe Photoshop, I have to work really fast. I also have to remember where the tabs are on each page there, as sometimes the pages open with no words on the tabs. After I work very quickly to place words upon the... Sign in to see full entry.

Networking works. I volunteered for many things and now real things may be

coming my way. I have linked my stores up to all of my online blogs and have gotten a few orders from that now. Good. Slow, but moving. I was invited to use a free booth at the Green Festival because someone went to my art site and liked me and my things. Good. Now, how to stock it when I have no... Sign in to see full entry.

My expanding business plan was put on hold for technical reasons...

My computer is too full of too much. I have removed even crucial programs in an effort to give myself a lower CPU usage, to stop the errors and freezing, but, nope. What I truly need is a much larger internal hard drive slaved to my old one or mastered to my old one, can't remember right now how I... Sign in to see full entry.

I have added 31 designs now to my cafepress merchandise.

I tagged the images so well and am working to improve my start on the SEO work already. Some of my designs come up as FEATURED designs on the first pages already. Many of them are on the first page of the search for those keywords, already. I am pleased. HERE are the 31 designs and the links to... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

They tell you that you can make millions doing this or that and you think, "Well, I sure would like to, but...." I'm not out to make millions, just considering this a class on how to increase my income, as I am too poor to blog about poverty, it just IS my life. So, here goes and What Do I Know? Not much, so let's all watch me stumble and fall and get back up and learn and see just what grade I get at the end of this course, okay?
