grrrr…. i’m upset
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a customer upset me. She wasn’t incredibly rude or hurtful, but when someone is not happy with their order it makes me overdramatic and want to quit for fear I’m doing something wrong. I know, it’s extreme. My little shop is so personal and dear to me, and when I get an unhappy customer it makes me want to crawl into a dark hole and hide. I’m trying not to have it bother me so much, but I can’t stop thinking about it. 99% of my buyers are wonderful and I love them dearly, it’s silly of me to get upset over that 1%. Well…. this too shall pass.
Now that I’ve gotten that out, let’s go back to what this is all about… ART! I’ve just moved all my art stuff into my unfinished attic for a little temporary make-shift studio. So I’m not painting in my kitchen anymore! August has even set up his little table and art supplies, so we are sharing our own personal little art space. I’ll take some pictures soon. It’s very industrial looking with the exposed beams and shotty paint job. I’ve done a couple pieces in the last month I’ve been away from my bloggie.
The first one is called Unwind, which is something I need to do these days. The second is Forever which I did in preparation of my favorite holiday Dia de los Muertos! I can’t believe how quickly this year is passing.
Have a lovely week!

Just want to tell you how much I can relate to what you just said. I thought I was the only person that reacted this way. I used to do crafts that I sold on ebay. Everyone loved them but I would get so paranoid that someone wouldn’t be happy one day and it was such an overwhelming anxiety that I would lose all creativity and quit. I know that feeling of wanting to climb into a dark hole and hide if someone wasn’t happy with what I made. I really admire for being able to move on. Thanks for the inspiration.
