Where's the time?

Wow, business is soaring and I haven't had a dry spell in weeks now. My "out-box" always has an envelope waiting to go to the post and my "in-box" of my email account keeps buzzing with new "congratulations your item has sold" anouncements! I'm exited...but a bit frazzeled. I am really enjoying making my own beads and having people buy them with joy. It is very fullfilling for me. BUT I also have an out-of-home job and two kids, an apartment and a boyfriend! *smile* I'm not frazzeld of being successfull (anymore) but about finding the time to get everything done. Sometimes I am so scared of finding enough time that I freeze and waste time on the computer looking at sillyness instead of sitting at my work table.

Maybe I need to get some kind of plan when I should do what so that I can get into the rhythm of getting everything done that I want. As of next month I will be working more out side of home and I am a bit scared that I'll have even less time at my clay table.

Any suggestions, tips, experiences that you've made?

Healing

Not much has been happening since I wrote last. I've been working a lot or have been trying to rest my aching wrists. I did create some beads on Thursday evening but nothing special, I only wanted to use my canes that I've been creating as to sell more beads and not be forgotten. I'm still longing to create newer and bigger things but just haven't had the energy nor the inspiration.

I will probably do the fleamarket thing but it will take a lot of work and organisation, I think. Not sure when I'll do this, perhaps when the kids are on holiday at the beginning of august and then I can dedicate all my free time to clay.

So no, I'm not giving up claying but just resting a bit. Need to get my wrists healed and my energy back and then........... :-)

Sometimes I find it difficult to be patient. Patient with my self and my crafts. I would love to create more, faster and sell sell sell but right now I don't always have the energy nor the calm to sit and work at the crafts table. And sometimes I'm just full of self doubt and wondering if this is worth while. It's an expensive and a time consuming hobby yet I love it, I love putting my creativity into the fimo and it's colours.

Time, Patience, Energy.
