Catching Up

So, I am still alive despite my lack of postings over the last month. Going back to work combined with the holidays really wore me out, but I am looking forward to what I hope will be a great new year.

When I last posted I was preparing for the art show in New Hampshire, but unfortunately New England weather had a different plan and a huge ice storm took out power in parts of New Hampshire for weeks, including the town where the show was going to be. So that is currently on hold and I am waiting to hear when it will get rescheduled for. I hope that it does get rescheduled because it was to benefit a very good cause.

I am also still working my full time job as an architect. I am still working on the elevator replacement, fitness center, and office renovation, but I may soon be doing a renovation at a dining hall and a 9,000 sq.ft retail building in New Hampshire. So, work seems to be keeping me very busy despite the slow economy.

Gingerwinks stuff has also been doing great. I am up to 28 sales and I have been featured in at least three treasuries. One of my banners also made it into a gift guide which I am most proud of since that is selected by the Etsy admin.


My last news could be the most exciting, although I don't want to get my hopes up. In the past two weeks I was contacted by two stores about selling my work wholesale. So, I scrambled to pull together a package outlining all the details and pricing structure. I think it came out well and looked professional, so now I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll hear back from them. The catalogs and samples got mailed out today.

So, that's my quick update of how I spent my December 2008...now onto 2009.
