A thought on creativity, productivity, and livability

Today I have spent most of my day working on my new mushrooms. I took a break around 11:30 to bring leggings and a few of the mushrooms to Things That Glow, a great little rave shop that sells my fuzzy wears on consignment. I was thrilled to see that 7 items and the last of my top hats had sold. I really do need to get back to my pile of half finished fuzzy top hats and get some more up and going. People really do like them.

As I'm working on my new pet project I come to think of the ones that have come before and those that I have ahead of me but also those I need to go back to and see if they can make me money. I do love my fuzzy cup cozys that double as wrist cuffs, the wonderful fuzzy eye masks ( a favorite of Liese), my puff ball tribbles, and of course the top hats, not mention the piles of project people have given me as "wouldn't it be great if you made me this, and you could market it and sell it". Sometimes it's just so hard to keep up on these wonderful new ideas. See the thing is when I work on any of these wonderful new projects I must stop production for some period of time on my money maker, the wonderful leggings that pay more of my bills then my part-time "day job". Don't get me wrong I love the break from the every day project of leggings. There are always leggings that must be made.

So when your mind is running a million miles a minute and in a thousand different directions how do you quiet it down, focus, and really most importantly, make money. After all one does need to pay their bills and eat. I'm still working hard every day to figure these things out, but for now I must get back to the mushrooms so I can get pictures taken and the mushrooms up on Etsy. Looks like they will be priced at $20.
