So here we are fully into February, and I've got nary a sale to wink and eye at, let alone enough to quit my day job (which is my new life goal by the way). I did give away a heaping handful of itsybitsys at Chirstmas, and I have been thinking a lot about design for an itsybitsylogo and business card, but something just isn't working.
I've been thinking lately that maybe I don't want to work exclusively in one medium (sculpey). What else can I make that is itsy, bitsy, and cute? Should I get a sewing machine? Can I even sew? Will I put the time toward actually setting goals and accomplishing them?
My mind tells me yes on all accounts, but I am missing a key piece - motivation. I need to find and grasp on to some small success and give massive energy to it. I am partially motivated by the fact that I absolutely hate being told to "be at work and be seated by the scheduled time"... in fact, that almost fully motivates me lately. I want to feel good about doing work every day, and lately, being at my current work feels completely miserable. Every day.

So, with that being said - I need to read more blogs for inspiration, I need to subscribe to more podcasts that will motivate me, and I need to get to sculpting and putting up items in my etsy store. I am hoping that these things will keep pushing me to think outside the box and figure otu how i can work for myself somehow and enjoy every moment of everyday.
Oh the thought of spring... and not having to sit in my cubicle everyday...
