Crazy is a Tool

What have you learned from crazy lately?

 

Early on we set up at Brimfield one of the largest outdoor flea markets in eastern US. Our wild, hardscrabble neighbor screamed, “You Fool!” at anyone who didn’t stop into his booth. He also had a tattoo on the inside of his lip and you don’t even want to know what it said.

The experience was entertaining, memorable and educational.

We learned…

  1. flea markets might not be the best place for our work
  2. if this wild-man can make a living – so can we
  3. it’s always worth it – but it’s “more worth it” in the right place

What have you learned from a crazy experience?

 

Opportunities that don’t work out are gold mines for information. They will help you  figure out what you can live with and what you can live without. And, this is how you make your plan. Crazy is a tool.

 

 

Resting & Reading

It’s been about two weeks since I launched our ebook. I took a little time to gather myself. I loved writing this ebook for you. There were some challenging moments when words would not come, sickness came and time came and went too fast.

Those passed and we kept plugging away. I’m really glad we did.  The book found its mark.

 This is FABULOUS – really, one of the best ebooks on the topic I’ve read! – Etsy’s Seller Education Coordinator

Thank you to all of you who’ve purchased the book! I am here to answer your questions. Send them along as you get started with your daily practice.

Are you soaking up the spring sun and getting dirty in the garden?  What a rejuvenating time of year it is.

Welcome! Thank you for being here. I would like to introduce you to my new project…

All Craft. A Recipe to Make it Pay
I believe

You are talented, creative and thoughtful. You apply artistry and skill to create a unique and beautiful object because you love doing it. But you also want to make a living from your craft, and you can.

I know

Your craft can support your life. It can pay all of your bills. It can pay for your insurance and retirement benefits. It can pay for investments, travel and college funds for your kids. Your craft can do what any decent “normal” job can do.

So I

So I did what I have always loved to do. I wrote. I created a Recipe in the form of an ebook. It is a 44 page ebook (in pdf format). You can purchase it for $8 and read it on your computer or print it and read it.

This project is the beginning of a conversation, it will take place right here. I hope that you will join me. We will chat about making the Recipe work for you and how you will maintain it as a daily practice. I will help you.

I’m looking forward to it!
