Another goal I have is to devote more time to creating and less time procrastinating. I have all these ideas floating around in my head but ever time I think I should forget everything else and just go create, something sidetracks me and I never start. I've gotten a good start. I'm creating a line of doggy floor cloths, sort of like a place mat for your dog. I sold one, right before Christmas and the buyer was delighted and even sent me a picture of her dog using his new place mat! I have another one almost ready to go. All it needs is a coat or two of Polyacrylic sealer and it's good to go. These place mats take at least two weeks to cure before shipping to allow the paint and sealer to dry fully.
I've been busy applying gesso to canvas for more doggy floor cloths and a couple of kitty ones, as well!
I have a myriad of other goals for this new year. One that I hope to attain soon is to get my website up and running but for now I'll settle for the small ones and strive to work to achieve the larger ones.
Neglecting goals sounds a bit (ok alot!) familiar! I can't wait to see what you create this year :)
ReplyDeleteNow ... to stop procrastinating as write my blog.....
I bet the doggy/kitty place mats will be good sellers! It's a good feeling to finally get organized after letting things get messy. I speak from experience since I tend to do the same at times. lol
ReplyDeleteI like that motto, Nancy! Wishing you a wonderful 2015!
ReplyDeleteI always have more things going on in my head than I actually get around to doing.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be surprised at how much of a market there is for pet stuff! I hope your drop cloths do well.
Cute doggy mat! Kitties could use it, too. :) Enjoyed reading, I'm also having "messy" issues in my craft room, but it's mostly the closet where I store packing materials and boxes. - Connie - The Singing Beader
ReplyDeleteI've struggled with the same issues from time to time, too. And conquering the chaos always brings a very satisfied feeling, as well as reaching goals in various areas of life. Like others, I have way too many ideas and goals, and sometimes that can cause the procrastination because it feels so overwhelming at times. We just have to keep on keepin' on. I hope your mats do well for you. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat cute doggie mats! I'm sure they will sell quickly! "Eat, Drink and Be Furry" - love it!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who is diagnosed ADHD, I can definitely relate to your situation! My studio is currently in an almost unusable state and will need a few days just to get it cleaned up and organized.
