Good Morning everyone. I hope that you
have had a busy - creative - week. Life here, as you know, has been
busy and doesn't seem to want to slow down! Yesterday I was able to
bead, and life was good! But then.... life got in the way! I have to
say that since I started beading full time I have been VERY lucky to be
able to stay home and make this more than a hobby/craft, for me, it is a
business.
Most people that I talk to say
that TIME MANAGEMENT is the biggest enemy of people that work at home. I
AGREE! When I am at home it is hard not to do the laundry, dishes or
sweep the floor while I am 'supposed' to be beading. So, what do I do?
BOTH! I know, I know, you are not supposed to, but....
For me, my morning (before the
house is woken up) is spent getting most of my computer work done. This
includes updating all my sites, posting photos, doing my blog and so
much more! Then it is 'off to the races' with the kids, morning routine
and school runs.
As the day really get going I
spend some time on house work, get caught up (or at least I try) and
then it is off to bead! FINALLY. However, this is the perfect day....
life is NOT perfect! There are errands to run, laundry to fold, a dog
to walk, and that is just the basic stuff! I have to say, as much as I
love working at home, there are some advantages to 'going into the
office' to work.
Whenever
we move and I have a dedicated CRAFT room I will also have a door and
I'll be able to close it!! Yes, I know, that is not the 'fix all', but
it might help!
What do you do? How do you stay true to your craft? How do you manage your time?

I started a new bead woven creation yesterday, what do you think?
This will be VERONICA!

Today's featured artist is CraftsmanLife.
This amazing wood worker has developed his skills over the years into
perfection! You need to see these works of art for yourself. I have to
say that the simple lines and fine quality really attracted me to this
studio. Please go visit, check out all the wonderful creations and
remember to support hand crafted artists.

Today I would like to leave you with this thought,
Life is half spent before we know what it is.
