This year has been so busy. I've been putting myself out there with new projects, artwork, gallery proposals, my book project, Etsy, a studio move and more. I think it's starting to take its toll a little. For the last few weeks, within an hour of waking up, all I have wanted to do is crawl back in bed. I find myself wishing that I could wear my pajamas to work. I've been watching 80's movies (truly chicken soup for this girl's soul). I owe people phone calls and emails. I'm procrastinating. Maybe it was a little too much vulnerability all at once and now I need to fortify myself? I don't know but I know I've also been MIA on the blog.

Despite wishing I could crawl back into my shell these days, I did manage to pass over a major hurdle with my book project. That story will get a post of it's own in the next week or so (when I get done procrastinating about it). I am almost done building a new website for my art work. I am about to launch a new site for my digital design product line, The Designer's Mix. I also turned in a proposal to The Lawndale Art Center to exhibit my work. After a few grueling weeks of lifting, hauling and sorting, my studio has been moved into it's new home at Spring Street Studios. Whew! When I type all that out, it makes sense to me why I want to crawl back in bed.

I also finished a new art piece that I love. It seemed like an appropriate piece to accompany today's post.



I think it's refueling time. What about you guys? What do you do to replenish yourselves?
