Second Shopify Blog (prelaunch)

So I find it important to do these blogs.  I believe they help.  Me anyway.  The first thing on my mind anymore when I enter the studio is my nutcrackers.  By the end of the month I will advertise for them for sale.  As of now I have five new ones.  One medium size and four smalls.  I need to pick up a couple larger ones soon.  I am not going too over board as the Indie Made Crafter market is no longer.  I am bummed about it too because I did it three years in a row.  My art studio has become of more of a thinking space.  I can't help it.  I am tired.  Exhausted in fact.  None of this is easy for me but I keep pushing on.  Some would say it is pointless but this is my way of fighting on really.  Yea sure the world of art is no picnic but what else do I got?  I get no help from anyone when it comes to family life.  So my work is really what gets me out of bed every day.  Two of my paintings were suppose to sell and the people never came back for them.  Not yet anyway.  We tried this lay away thing and the people made one payment and never came back.  I didn't lose anything on it though.  But on my old website I have them listed as sold.  Actually it is my current website until I delete it.  But anyhow they are still available they are "Horse Decay" and the crow.  

I am right now working on getting the Shopify site running all of this is draining, I won't lie.  I have not forgotten about what I want to do with the conceptual piece.  I just don't know when I will start it yet.  Working during the day makes this all extremely difficult.  But I won't give any of it up.  

As soon as my site is up to par I would like to do a magazine again.  This time I will have it more like a sales catalog for my etsy shop and Shopify too.  It will have some magazine like content like poems stories but I really want it to be like a etsy catalog.  Anything I can do to get the word out about my art.  Very soon I need to write another to do list.  This helps me stay focused along with these blogs.  

I am trying real hard not to have to give up any of my activities but I may have to give up my Tai Chi classes soon momentarily at least.  Money is getting tight.  So with that being said feel free to stop down at Smartivities Showcase and buy some of my art or go onto my etsy page.  That is www.wilsonartgoods.etsy.com .

I think that is my blog for today.
