It has been raining for days


For the past few days I have been overwhelmed completely by a sense of homesickness...strange, I know. While living in NH I longed to be somewhere else, and now that I am...I miss it.

I miss the mill buildings and the beautiful red leaves against a crisp blue sky...I want to feel the warmautumn sun on my skin, to be lost in thought...that is what ispired this piece that is up for sale in my etsy store. The piece is called "The Sun on My Skin, The Thoughts in My Head"

I think it is because it has been raining here for days, that must be it...all I know is that I am longing for something, I feel like I am in expectation of something wonderful...but I don;t know what it is, or if it will ever get here.

I am slowly trying to get ready for Craftin Outlaws which is next weekend, I am petrified because I have never done a show like this, and I don't have anyone to be with me there either, so I am scared, I have no idea how it will be.

I am hoping I do well there, money has been real tight lately, it would be nice to be able to breath easy, even if it is just for a minute, plus the girl in me really wants to be able to buy something nice to wear to a trunk show I am doing the following week.

Things have been slow on etsy for me for the past several days, it scare me a little...I am trying some new things with my work, I love what I am doing but I am not sure how well it is going over, I just don't want to get stuck in a rut. Not in art, or in life.

What's Craftin Outlaws? Like, an arts/crafts kinda show? Here's hoping you do well there, and in the meantime, rest assured that I talk your etsy store up to anyone and everyone I meet. Love your stuff, and we all miss you here in NH...but if it makes you feel any better, it's about as lame as you remember it.
