I have to confess I’ve been having trouble getting back into blogging mode since I returned from Ohio.
And I’ve been trying to figure out why because I really do enjoy this.
I finally decided that it was partially due to the fact that I feel that the posts should have something important, or at least interesting, to share. A tutorial, a good before/after furniture transformation or tips or something.
But my problem of late is that, with all the shows I’ve been doing, I haven’t had time for much that is new. I’m just kind of a factory reproducing my designs (I’ve made 275 coasters, 120 magnets, six HOME signs and three Subway signs since getting back from Columbus) and I imagine that blog post after blog post of “I made some coasters!” and “I made some more coasters!!” might get a little old.
However, that is about to change!
Because I screwed up!
I know, I know, your shocked! Shocked that I could have messed something up. But it’s true, I, David, have made the first and only mistake of my lifetime.
I discovered today that the Renegade show that I thought was happening in two weeks is not, in fact, until the end of July (June, July they both start with “J” and are four letters long people get them confused all the time, right? RIGHT?).
Then I discovered that I had missed the deadline to apply for Unique LA’s summer show which would have taken place a couple of weeks after the Renegade show if, in fact, the Renegade show was actually happening when I thought it was happening – which it isn’t.
Sooooo…..my schedule has, um…. opened up.
At first I was bummed but then I realized that this is my window. My window to launch all those new projects that I haven’t had time for. My chance to really get back to the creative part of this big-ole-creative-life-change I launched.
And, surprisingly, this had totally re-energized me. I’m very excited to get going!
You should blog more often because your blog’s my very, very favourite. But not in a spooky ‘I’m your number 1 fan’ kind of way’ (and anyway I’m across the pond, so couldn’t be spooky from 1000′s of miles away, it would be just plain silly and I couldn’t be getting on and off planes to be spooky, when I’ve got loads of furniture to paint and all those bills to pay)
But I like your blog because it makes me smile and laugh and mirrors the disasters/hiccups we all have when running a small business.
So, do blog more often, if only to keep one Brit smiling during the coldest, wettest, English summer you could imagine.
You are too kind (in a non-stalker kind of way) and, of course, totally made my day! I apologize for being so slow to respond – internet woes have kept me quiet of late. And now I’m off (internet connection gods willing) to check out the barristers horse!!
