Sidebar Links & Almost Done

 

Quite a while ago, I started a series on Starting a Creative Business. Every once in a while I learn something new or get inspired and put up a new post in the series.  I used to have links to the posts in the series on my sidebar, but I never put them up on my new blog when I made the switch to WordPress. I thought it was about time to fix that. So, now there are links low on the side bar for some of my most popular posts on Starting a Business, Sewing and Painting.  I hope they’ll be a good resource for you.

Well, I’m almost done with the photographs for the book and we’ve edited through chapter six (out of ten), so I’m starting to think ahead to “life after the book.”  I’m headed to Lucketts on Thursday to restock my space with new furniture and I’m looking forward to getting back into my routine as a furniture refinisher/antiques dealer.  I’m also planning to work on more tutorials (written and video) for the blog.

This entire journey has been such a crazy ride and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

I shared a couple of weeks ago that my parents gave us an old recliner that was much better than the Facebook Marketplace recliner we’d been using.  I was hesitant to replace it simply because I spent so much time making a slipcover for it, but it wasn’t the best
