Oh my goodness, how many more things can I do to distract myself from getting started working again. January is gone by at last and I am starting to feel the creative urges starting to gear up again. It's time to break out of hibernation. I think many crafts people take a creative break in January; we've been crazy busy up till Christmas getting orders out and shipped.
I enjoy taking a break from the day to day lampshade making. For sure, there is nobody around in January! I like to rethink the year, reevaluate new ideas, start writing on the blog, organize lampshade workshops in the shop. I am still putting off opening my "tax bag"; I'm giving myself another week for dealing with all those receipts and invoices.
Being an entrepreneur means having the drive to keep going and hope for the best. It's an interesting time for retail stores, which makes it even harder to get the inspiration to keep creating. I think that those of us that make unique, creative beautiful things will be the lucky ones. From all my observations customers will still want to find things to buy, but they will be more careful in their purchases and find the things they really LOVE. Or lets hope so, shop from your local artists and farmers. And Welcome February!
