It’s January. Another year has gone by, and I still haven’t accomplished many of my goals. I have been working at it. Maybe I’m finding my path to where I want to be. It’s not exactly the path I imagined, but that’s how paths go.
I’m currently the advisor of Art Club at my kids’ school. The school is K-8, and in an effort to be inclusive I split them into 2 sessions weekly: K-3 and 4-8. It’s a great joy for me to come up with different projects to expose these kids to different art and materials than they might see otherwise. And I get to talk about and do my favorite thing 2 days every week, with my own kids and more!
More exciting news! I was contacted by a gal who wants to learn how to draw characters for the stories she writes. She has some experience trying to follow tutorials online, but feels she can benefit more from having immediate one-on-one feedback. And she chose me! I’m so excited to have another way of sharing my art with others in a real way.
Over winter break (for my kids, obviously, not me) hubby and I were sick, and the kids got to spend time with my grandma. So I had some time to be a maker. I got into resin and found some interesting things I can make with it. I’m kinda obsessed. If you haven’t yet, check out the necklaces made by my hand in my shop. I’m pretty proud of them, but still mastering the art. I also learned how to make my own paper using the junk mail that ends up in my mailbox, and my own rubber stamp to stamp my logo on things I make.
I’m still working on building my coaching program for moms. I’m taking a longer path to getting that up and running, but my goal is still to get there.
Coming up this year: My family and I are going on an Alaskan cruise! I am beyond excited to cross something off of my bucket list (northern lights, fingers crossed) and hubby’s (the cruise itself). And when we surprise the kids with the news, I can’t imagine what reactions they’ll have!
Yep, I’m working on some other things, too. Keeping it under wraps for now. I have not told a single soul, and don’t plan to until it is done done. OK, byeeee!
