My Grand Opening

So, I am currently on maternity leave with my second child Abra, and while on leave I decided that I wanted to start drawing again and open my own storefront on Etsy.

For anyone who hasn't heard of Etsy you will see that I am a raving fan. It is a wonderful site where anyone can set up a storefront to sell anything handmade. I think it is the most wonderful outlet for artists I have ever found.

This past weekend I finally posted my first items and even managed to get my first sale. My goal was to get it up by early November so I guess I am doing well. Now I just need to figure out how to handle my renewed interest in drawing with my real job as an Architect and my even more real job as a mother of two young girls.

I have one more month of maternity leave to get the shop organized and on track. I really want to make it a success but it is going to take a lot of time and energy.
