Blogtober, whose brilliant idea was this?

Move over big guy, mommy need her rest. Oh right it was mine. Because I wanted to get back to blogging and October seemed like a great time to start because I could easily smash a couple of words together in a really cute way to make this endeavor feel like an event....

by Stacey | August 1, 2022 | art journal | 6 Comments

Art Journal can mean so many different things. It can be a scrapbook of memories, it can be a sketchbook of ideas. It can be a place to try new techniques or styles worked privately with no judgement. It can be a diary of feelings and thoughts mingles with drawings or...

Fiberista, I know you know what I mean. It doesn't matter what kind of calm or chaos is happening in your world, the one constant will always be making art. I would say specifically fiber art, but I have a long-held commitment to my art journal as well that tends to...

Falling off my habit wagon

by Stacey | May 24, 2022 | behind the scenes, everyday life | 0 Comments

I am not gonna lie...I have fallen down on the tiny habits thing. I am almost 6 months in, halfway. I knew this would probably happen. I even gave myself a little grace period to skip adding new habits for 8 weeks(broken up as needed) I just know myself. I will let...

Confession time, y'all. I did not spend a whole lot of time in the studio today. I had a computer glitch to investigate and some Christmas present planning that is taking over my drafting table as my mail orders arrive. But other than that I spent the day planning out...

So one of the things I seem to fall down hard on, is settling on a project management system. I know it seems like overkill for an art business. It is something that was key to finishing large projects on time when I was an art director. I still use it when I build...

31 Day Studio Awesome Challenge, The Business of being an artist | 0 Comments

One of the things that has been languishing not just on my studio lis, but on my general business to do list, is making an operations manual. I know it seems like a bit of overkill for a creative type person, to outright make a manual of all the steps I go through to...

I can't say for sure how...but I realized that this has happened. That, Fiberista, is what I can only describe as a hot spot by proxy. Here's how it has been going down....In an attempt to clear off a hot spot, like my work table and drafting table, since I have not...

31 Day Studio Awesome Challenge, The Business of being an artist | 0 Comments

Here is how it usually goes down There is some crazy overwhelming eat the frog task I am avoiding like filing sales tax, or doing inventory. It may or may not be on the to-do list. But regardless, it is almost always something that I have decided will take 5 times...
