James and I have been working hard lately. We always work pretty hard on our dreams, but this past few weeks have been in overdrive as we work to fill an extraordinary amount of orders. I will be honest and say that our journey with our creative endeavors has not been easy. I don’t think it is for anyone who sets out to be their own boss, especially in the creative fields. You take on so many more roles than just artist. At the beginning of the year we were starting to think we may need to put our efforts somewhere else, that maybe it just wasn’t ever going to be fruitful enough to be our sole income. This is something we have been working towards for a very long time, and it always feels just out of reach. But instead of giving up, we decided to march ahead full force and give it all we’ve got. And you guys seem to be responding! We can finally feel a shift happening. Maybe it’s the whole where the energy flows thing. We are still teetering on the edge of feeling very excited and ‘is this sustainable’… But all worries aside, we are embracing the process, trying to keep our head above water and not let our sanity go, and still try to have a life, b/c what the hell is the point if not for that?
Sometimes just taking an hour outing to our favorite little coffee shop and to take a walk by the river can be the difference of our sanity staying or going. And it gives me a great excuse to get my camera out and take pics of our little monkey. It’s hard to get her photo when we are out in nature like this though b/c she does not want to stop for me. I have to get creative with capturing her in the moment.
I have such a deep love for Cypress trees that grow along the river. How big they get and their beautiful knotty roots. I’m just in love with them.
I’m so happy we decided to bring some kids tees to Skyline Fever so Ava can wear them. The little Gatherer is my favorite. If there are any specific designs you would like to see on littles shirts, just let us know.
