This little tomato creamer symbolizes the week I'm having. I loved this little creamer. I wanted to keep it for myself, but I sold it instead. And it was the first item sold at garage sale. I mailed it to the customer's old address (which isn't entirely my fault). It may or may not be forwarded. Which means I'll be refunding some money. It's not a lot of money, but we're not exactly making a profit.
People aren't returning my emails and phone calls (customers, people I'm advertising with, stores that have my stuff on commission, etc.). It's so incredibly frustrating. It's one thing that my boys don't listen, which caused yet another early bedtime and more frustration for me, but when people I'm trying to do business with don't respond, I just don't deal with it well.
I don't know. Maybe I should just buy the junk I love and not try to sell it. Maybe I should just make art for me. And sew just for me. Maybe I should have just kept the creamer. For me.
:( Sorry people are being stupid... :( chin up- do what makes YOU happy... :)

I can't imagine how frustrating that must be!!! I thought of the old cliche - nothing worthwhile is ever easy. And I, for one, am VERY thankful you share your amazing talent!!! At the same time I think if keeping art and collecting junk just for you is great too! It's all so hard - it's so hard to find the balance that makes you happy. I hope things get better soon!!!
