September is a big month. Even though I’m no longer in school, working at a college library still has me on that student time table. Decker is buzzing with new, hopeful undergrads and I’m buzzing about trying to mantain a good balance between the job that makes me money and that job that, well, doesn’t. Hopefully with a little hardwork, and a little elbow grease tightening up the loom (I literally wove the screws off last week), I’ll be able to make weaving a part of my working life.
Step One
Get A Studio- Check!
Remember The Star Factory? Well if not, that’s the name of the studio I’m now sharing with Carly and a writer-friend I have yet to meet. A three person studio is sure to be a party. It’s going to be good having a place to go that’s not my living room to work, and It will be nice to be around another weaving again, in a place with many looms sporting many projects. And using a loom in the studio and my loom at home will make me twice as productive. I’ve never been able to work two projects at once before, and I’m going to count my blessings while they last.
Step Two
Have a few big projects off-loom
-Join up with friends to sell work together in a coming-soon online shop of beautiful handmade work and love. We’re still putting things together, and I can’t wait to finally share the link with all of you!
-Team up with your graphic designer boyfriend to develop a book. (Coming Soon! December 2011!)
-Finally start that puppet show you’ve been dying to work on.
Step Three
Finding Balance, Balance, Balance. Sticking to your guns, following through, developing innovative and fun projects. Stop stressing out. For the love of God, stop stressing out.
It’s going to be a busy September!
