Yep, you guessed it, the planets have been playing tricks on us for a while now. Presently Mercury is in Retrograde which means that things will be breaking left right and center. Now is not a good time for new projects, wait until after October 18, it's coming soon~ I promise. It's not just this particular Mercury Retrograde that has been hinking up my works, but a crazy astral year thus far - 3x of my most recent posts are gone.
I am a bad admin for myself and I write from the hip, directly into this blog, therefore no record of said posts. Did they make it out there? or did they never go live? Every other full time emerging artist that I know of will have these same complaints; that running a small business, on top of self-promotion and marketing, and sales and business management also must take up our time! So things fall to the wayside, and sadly my website has been victim.
I had the snafu with SquareUp, Inc, which is now remedied, and one of my previous posts would have said as much. This year has been crap, what can I say. Really truly crummy with global stresses around the pandemic and a shaky economy, my art business has been slowed to an almost grinding halt. It's hard to do work on pretty things, when there are so many truly upsetting things going on in the world?
My website is out of date and wonky because I have the mind to move to a new platform, but not until the planets say it's ok. So efforts to bring my galleries current haven't been happening.
My attention now turns to the holidays - yep, definitely already running late in terms of building out my sales plans for my holiday ornaments and gift items. Also behind on my small works projects. Behind. Behind. Behind, what? some wiser person once asked me... I am behind my own created personal deadlines, I am behind because I have made it so and because I think it so.
Please stay tuned to more happy missives and SAVE THE DATE Saturday, December 4, 12-7PM for our Holiday Open Artist Studios & Sale.
