How did Thursday get here so fast?
This week has been super busy with everything but painting, but it's actually a good thing. Anytime you can spend time with family, you absolutely must! I was lucky enough to spend an entire day with my mom and sister doing what we do best: running around town shopping (when I say an entire day, I mean it. We literally spent nine hours shopping. We have a problem and are not denying it). Add on some intense job hunting, and making some major progress on planning my best friend's bridal shower and bachelorette parties, I'd say that's a successful week so far!
I thought I'd share a progress pic of the Color Me Inspired piece I mentioned in my last post. Despite my busy week, I was able to spend a little time working on these colorful hexagons. This piece is really making me happy so far. I'm still totally in love with the colors.
Last but definitely not least, here's some good news this week. I was lucky enough to be featured on the Kansas Etsy Team Blog as one of the team's newest members! It's my first official feature, so please do go check it out!
While you do that, I'm off to the work room to paint! :)
Where does one begin when she hasn't blogged for over a year? Beg for forgiveness? Offer a million excuses? Maybe pretend like no time had passed and just write whatever comes to mind? Or maybe, just maybe, kick off her new blog post with a bang by offering some exciting news? Yes, yes, I like that idea the best. Check it:
Someone has opened her very own Etsy Store! What, WHAT!? You heard me right. My original intention and goal for starting the blog in the first place has finally been realized. That's right... The Curious Yellow is now offering my hand painted art on canvas to the public!
I mean how great is Etsy.com? I don't know what took me so long. I mean it was super easy to set my store up, and after all, what purpose do goals serve if you never intend on achieving them? Sure, there's the slight fear of failure, but you never know until you try. So here I am, trying. If you can find away to monetize something you love to do, well my friends, that is the perfect scenario....the dream. I may never sell a single thing, but I'll be so glad that I set a personal goal for myself and achieved it. Worst case scenario, I'll have some fabulous art to gift to my friends and truly enjoyed myself while I created them. :)
Here's my current fave piece, and I'm being entirely honest when I say I would hang anything I have painted and will paint in my own home. I really do love them all.
Many more where that came from! For those who are interested to see what I have been working on and will be working on in the coming days, you can check back at my store occasionally, and I'll be pinning my new stuff on my Pintrest Curious Yellow board, as well as blogging while new pieces are in progress.
My adventure is just beginning so wish me luck!
