I’ll admit it. I’ve had my moments of jealousy. But the more I grow, the more I’ve found this statement to be true. So, you’ve just opened your business, and just have a few sales – you see someone experiencing success with their sales, and wish you had that. But do you know what she […]
yay for the internet!
So after everything I mentioned previously, our wireless router and modem kicked the bucket. Seriously. I’m laughing over here. Because the odds seem really loooong. And when lots of bad things pile up, you can choose to either cry, or, well, LAUGH. Either from the sheer ludicrousy of the situation, or maybe with a slight […]
how you spell work relief & a studio space update
N.E.W. I thought I had already reached my limit with the technology googoo when it became impossible for me to print labels again yesterday. The final straw was hearing from the publisher I’m working with that they needed some photo updates, and I couldn’t get pse to load for anything on my stoneage PC. So, […]
taking the leap on spending for your business
This past week has been one of those adventures in technology that you often prefer not to have. I have put off updating our PC and printer for way too long, and it’s coming back to bite me – I keep trying to pull it through just a little bit longer. I spent several hours […]
using gratitude to kick feelings of defeat
I’m not going to lie, it’s one of those weeks where I’m trying to get a handle on things after settling back in from traveling, and just about everything is going wrong. I’m not kidding. I’m not going to bore you with details here. Instead, I’m going to share an exercise that I do when […]
breaks are good & coffee is essential
Sometimes, I get caught up in the doing of everyday life. Trying to keep up with everything that’s going on becomes this daily sort of treading water business. It’s fun and amazing, but every once in a while I look up and wonder if I’m treading water or the current is carrying me away. Those […]
the snowy north
We’re enjoying taking in our share of snowy weather as we traveled to the area I grew up in. I’ll say we’ve had our share of adventures this go round, getting caught traveling in two different snow storms, and not quite catching the hot chocolate laden barf flying out of the backseat. Oh, the stories […]
after these messages
we’ll be riiight, back! Just kidding. I don’t really do that kind of thing around here. For some reason that old Saturday morning cartoon jingle popped into my head when I was thinking that I didn’t really have time to post today. Due to finishing a wholesale order (something different), juggling other shop orders (thank […]
