Quit your day job

photo by jonny meyer

Thank you Etsy for featuring me in the Quit your day job article series. It was so fun to answer the questions given to me by Mary with Etsy. I love my new art friends that I've found through various ways online through flickr, facebook, twitter, and of course etsy. I just wish I could bundle you all up and bring you to arkansas for a cup of hot tea.

And thank you all for words of encouragement and cyber-hugs that you flourish me with everyday. You make this awesome job of mine even richer.

    Hi there I loved the etsy article on you, it's so inspiring and wonderful to hear that it is possible. I'm lucky in that I'm a stay at home mum so I'm at home already and I manage to squeeze in as much as I can whilst looking after the kids. I've just started my etsy shop and have only sold one item so far but it really helped me to read that it took you a few months to kick off, I shall keep perserveering, so glad I found your blog too, I'll now become a follower. Love your work too!!! You have a very unique style. Take care

    Saw your feature on Etsy. So inspiring, love your work!
    It is so hard being a stay at home artist and staying on task, loved seeing how you scheduled your day. That has always been my biggest challenge and I love the Etsy community and artist blogs to feel like I still have some human contact with like minds:) Thx~Cindy

    so inspiring! I didn't realize that you had taken a break from the art school as you realized you wouldn't be doing anything that you're not doing now...answers a lot of questions that I've been asking myself! thanks, K
