So much to do, so little time

     I think we all run into this problem at one time or another...trying to accomplish a dozen projects at once. The need to make money versus the need to create can sometimes leave us feeling dissatisfied. Mass producing items that are best sellers, and creating items that will appeal to a certain audience is not easy when the urge to just run with an idea keeps nagging at you, over, & over &.....you see where I am going with this.
    My daughter called today and pointed out that I haven't painted in a while, & I have never posted any of my completed watercolors on line; and I have only posted one of my decoys. She is right, they are two of my favorite and personally enjoyable things to do, but there is that pesky need to produce items that sell in volume that gets in the way. In this economy sales of expensive items are slow at best and non-existant at worst.
     So as I try to keep stress to the minimum, while creating enough items to fill my spaces at the two holiday fairs I am committed to I am posting a photo of my favorite watercolor for my lovely daughter. If you are in the same boat as I, hang in there baby! It will be over before you know it.
