It's been a while since we got new product into the shop. January is usually spent with inventory and taxes and then we go back to routine in February. I have two orders scheduled for delivery over the next two days, so my days of catch-up in the shop are ending. That's a shame, because it is always wonderful to be able to play catch-up instead of running around trying to get things processed and packed. The pace is a littlle more laid-back. But....those halcyion days are ending again and we have to start applying our noses to the grindstone again. 
"Wait a minute", you say. "Hasn't the terrible economy pushed you to the grindstone already?" Well, of course we are impacted by the economy. There isn't a person around the world who is not impacted in some fashion. But I operate from a premise of 'estel' - hope. A platform of trust that all will work out as it was meant to and that I will continue to produce art and have joy in my life if I only allow it to happen. So, whether I can afford a fully-equipped studio or just a pad of paper and pencils, I can create. And if I can create, I can be happy and I can lower my stress levels to be more laid-back. All of which is beneficial to my health and my positive outlook, which leads to more creativity. It is a circle of benefit and love. Take some time to create today - you'll be the better for it.
