While I Wonder

Sometimes I feel like I just 'wander' through life 

without a plan or a clue...

luckily I don't feel that way often..

mostly when I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed..

like I have been lately.

Because it's essential...for my livelihood...

to make as many sales as I possibly can everyday..

I put off taking the time to do a little pre-planning and organizing.

Eventually I need to just 'stop' and regroup...

that's where I'm at currently.

I'm getting everything out as quickly as I possibly can...

but I'm not really working on anything new...

just ideas and thoughts

for new pieces for the coming year.

So...I'm wondering which of the older pieces I need to retire...

what I want to do with new series ideas..

I reflect on ideas that I thought were good ones

that didn't go anywhere...

and why.

I wonder what I will do about Christmas gifts for my family...

and what my youngest son will do out on his own.

I wonder about a lot of things....

What "New" Things Can I Do?

I'm actually 'thinking ahead' to the fast approaching

Fall Season....usually a pretty

good time for Arts and Crafts Sales.

So...I've been mulling over what new

things I can do.

For myself I've done a couple of

'List' Covers...

one that is 'especially'

for my Shipping,
so that I know which list book to grab

just by looking at the design...
and they work GREAT!

I've designed them to fit the little 5" x 8"

yellow lined 'legal' pads...

with a deep back pocket to slip the cardboard back 

in to.

This keeps me from having to have some way of tying it in...

my early efforts had to be tied it to secure them in place.

Now...I'm wondering what else I can do with

unstretched canvas.

Maybe I need a 'stroll through the internet' to come up

with some ideas.
