Texas Rain and Webinars

Today was unusual in that we got a decent amount of rain. Here in San Antonio, that's especially rare. I just took the kids outside because I was working on some wood projects which I'll be listing on Etsy here pretty soon, when it started to rain. My first instinct was to take the kids inside but then I realized it was the first time they had ever been out in the rain. It was 91 degrees and the falling water was like shower water. I fought the nagging feeling I had to bring them in and allowed them to just dance in the rain. It looked like the prison escape scene from "Shawshank Redemption." Not saying that the house is a prison, but in the sweltering summer days, it kind of feels like it. It was funny watching them. Not a care in the world and dancing in a summer rain shower. Meanwhile in adult-land, I'm wondering how I'm going to get the lovely walnut stain to dry in this now humid workshop. Then this evening I was treated to a nice Etsy webinar and got some really good tips on how to branch out in the wholesale market. I'm wondering if my purpose is less about making hydrangea balls for weddings, and more about making tags for beautiful boutiques and bakeries around the planet. Whatever happens, if I'm making a living and like what I do, and people like what I send them, I'm happy. If success is going to come my way, I'm not going to be picky about it's mode of transportation. I'm working on actually taking pictures and trying to turn this into an actual blog. I'm impressed with myself for having made more than three entries, but I've still got some work to do. Till next time...
