Obsessive. I am. Sometimes I get so wound up I obliterate my balance and then I hibernate. I am forcing myself out of isolation now. Thank you Joanne and Fannie. What is my latest obsession? well…
It’s no secret the domestic economy has been killing small businesses for the last 4 years, and now it’s killing those BIG BOYS. We’re all affected. Either large (bankruptcies, foreclosures) and small (cost of milk, infinity…). And then this terrific book comes out, The Savvy Crafter’s Guide to Success, by Sandra McCall.
Is it still possible to work hard, have the desire, and find the means to work at art-making FULL TIME? Or is it lucky breaks and connections? At this hiccup in the strength and faith of our economic recovery, is it wise?
Have you any current success stories? Please share. and sorry for being such a downer, michele




Hi, M~
A downer, you’re not. Downers don’t create all those wonderful ceramic buttons with uplifting and thought-provoking messages that inspire all of us as we drool over your selections. ;-D
I’ll take a look at your book recommendation.
Glad you’re out of hibernation. Welcome Home!
Hey there woman,
My business was a victim of the economy BUT I chose to let it go because there were other major things in my life that took the front spot in the line. I think that if you found a book you think has good advice then I would really work on putting them into action.
I also think its important to set small goals and strive to knock those off the list. Its easy to become overwhelmed when you look at the giant picture. Keep it in mind but break it down into smaller steps so you can go after what you want.
You can do it!
