February 12th Day in the Life of an artist

Getting everything checked off my list and put into the jar today! Got “dressed up” today and everything. 

There’s been a bunch of behind the scenes stuff going on lately. LK I have been focusing on a lot of “tidying up” in my personal and art life. Recently I started doing daily bookmarks to make use of some paper I had cut down for holiday commissions. Gives me a confidence boost for completing a tiny piece a day. Adds to my vending stash.  It’s been keeping me posting listings daily on etsy, which I am currently in the process of making a habit. I have also added stationery, new prints, and more originals to my Etsy shop. Faire has also been updated. Been very active on Bluesky and enjoying the creative atmosphere and its the reason that I feel so encourage with my website and pedaling my art.

Anyways back to my day! Worked on my book project this morning and will be getting more time this evening.  I recently received stickers from Imgur for National sticker day for sharing my animal stickers. I quickly claimed Nokia and stuck the “Imgur one to my chore jar.  Will claimed the pizza, Thomas picked the otter upvote. Today I turned the doggy one into a new magnet in our fridge. Which feels like a super crafting win for the day. 

Got a Dolly book in the mail today for Broly. This is an AMAZING program, please click here to check it out!

After my trip to the mail, I took a brisk walk in 5f (-15c). Been kind of hibernating this year due to being sick and the extra snow. But I can’t hide forever and I have to get into shape for our trip to Mesa verde in the spring. I want to do a bunch of hiking so that I can get my eyeballs on as much as possible, but I know that I am in no shape to do that. With that said,I am now back to doing daily weight training. Mesa verde will be my visual end update. 

Cleaning schedule has been going awesome. Working on minimizing everything in our home in preparation to move, we still have a few months, but we want to be ready when the time comes. We will be staying in Billings, just looking to rent a house so we can garden more. 

Well! Feeling wicked accomplished and now going to get back to my day. See you tomorrow!
