Hello friends!
Wrapping up my 2022 Summer and looking forward to the slowed down cozy season. I have had so much more time for drawing lately, and am finally starting to enjoy it again. If you read my last post, you know that burnout hit me hard. I really had to take a step back and think about what I enjoyed about my artwork and what I didn’t.
I had a great Summer of resetting expectations, listening to myself, and making more time for those around me. I really tried to have a complete Summer of enjoying the beach and everyone who comes home.
I had a bucketload of experiences that I know I never would have had if I was full tilt into artwork and running my shop. It hit me many times- sitting around a bonfire, playing in waves, having a late pancake breakfast with family (I said no to this every time in 2021).
My idea of how my 2022 season would go wasn’t quite what I had originally said:
I did keep on with wholesale orders. I made my turnaround time a little longer.
Etsy is still going as well, and also has a pretty long turnaround time. This let me enjoy myself a little bit more.
I did stay in one artist collective- Artisans on Main in Souris, I just can’t help but love them!
I am still doing two markets in the Fall / Winter of 2022. You’ll find me at Farm Day In the City and the Annual Holiday Market hosted by Etsy Team PEI.
That’s it! Thanks for checking in. <3
