Thursdays Three . Building My Creative Space and My Business

I have recently decided (as in this week) that I cannot be as successful in my business as I want to without a proper creative space.My Dream Studio

Now, my house is tiny (950 sq. feet) and has NO closets (Built in 1920). Basically our second bedroom is currently being used as our closet/office. I want to turn our closet office into my studio. I need to figure out what to do with my clothes... Hmmm... And my shoes... Oh yeah, and my hubby's clothes...

My Dream Studio
Next: I need to find more ways to get my business out there. Flea markets, approaching shops to carry my products.

I would love any feedback or advice any of you business people have! AND, I'd love to see your studio space! Email me a photo and I might post it in my blog thanks for your advice everyone!

Sad

Sad.

My sister's boyfriend, Mike, lost his brother to an accident this past Easter weekend.Melancholy Monster by, Melissa Sue

I am so so sad and upset that I cannot afford to get to New Zealand (where he is from and they are both living) to be with them.

Mike is like a brother to me and I cannot imagine how horrible it feels to lose your brother. I do not know how I would handle losing my brother (or sister) and do not ever EVER want to experience it. My heart hurts.

Please send your positive good thoughts to Mike and his family. Thanks everyone.
