I fashioned a loveseat from sawdust and paint chips...

Often I sit down to write in a state of...just basically needing to get things off my chest. Initially I started writing to another blogger who's acquaintance I recently made, but then I stopped. a. because I was bitching b. because it was really personal ( I was bitching about my mother)and c. because I was planning to buy this kickass black globe from her but Steven's second layoff of the New Year caused me hesitation. So I decided not to lay it on her...
The next phase of business is Etsy, which we've made the executive decision to go ahead with. It seems like a natural solution to the gaps we have in the brick and mortar business, such as...a pretty small audience and one that might not always "get it". Etsy is a massive ( read: um, like huge ) community of hell bent entrepreneurialist artsy crazies that buy from and attract other artsy crazies. Its also absolutely splendiferous with opportunities to learn and be challenged by people on the cutting edge of indiepreneur-ism, e-business and creative genius-aliciousiosity (eff you spell check). whee! I can also have a store front that can be accessed by anyone with a computer, shopping at my store and seeing what I'm up to is not limited to those in Parksville BC.(lol) Imagine...literally thousands upon thousands of people that have walked out on The Man. I gotta say it feels a lot like home. I always figured it was a character flaw, but it turns out its a calling.

p.s. Mom - It's ON. Love, diana
