Motivate and Conquer?

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...
