Even though I've been knitting, spinning and making felted purses for several years, this seems like the beginning, all over again. It is exciting to be creating again after several months off with a pinched nerve in my shoulder and a little bit of designers block thrown in for good measure.
Last week I spent lots of time sewing and knitting, coming up with new ideas, shopping for supplies, all that artsy stuff I love. But this week has been different. This is the first time I have really looked at how I can use the internet to get my purses out there. It is all kind of overwhelming... FB, Twitter, blogging, creating my site on Etsy. Everything is coming together, but my brain is getting tangled!
In my ideal world, I would spend my day doing all that artsy stuff, but this is the real world. And there are pluses to living in the real world. I have met some very interesting people via twitter and facebook. I enjoy getting feedback from other artists I would never have met without a computer. And the internet is opening up a new market for my bags. So, jumping in with both feet into cyberspace....
About Me
- Laughing_Frog
- Ovid, MI, United States
- I live on the family farm with my husband, Fifi the cat, Louis the pig and ten chickens. We share a home with my aging parents, whom we care for. I love creating, whether with fiber, in the garden or in the kitchen (although I hate the clean up!) I end up living in a perpetual whirlwind of creative clutter! Our goal is to be continually moving toward a more self-sufficient and sustainable life.
