Have You Seen My Muse?

I have been at an exceptional creative low. This low usually hits me in July. But this past July, I was riding high, creating and selling like a whiz! The stuff I made was getting snatched up right off my glass beads fan page, much to my delight! And rubber stamp sales were booming too!

New designs inspire... but an artist needs some "likes"

And then August hit and everything seem to grind to a halt! No sales to speak of, no classes and way too hot to torch! Add in a series of catastrophes I've had to deal with in the past month (new fence construction, car issues, a/c busted THREE TIMES, no internet connection for days, two printers died), it's been an expensive and trying month!

Thank goodness for my pup... she makes me smile all the time and calms my ragged nerves!

Now September is here and my muse is still MIA... I've got lots of new fans on the fan page... but no one even hits the like button on my latest work! And forget about sales... thank goodness the restaurant sales for my food safe stamp business has kicked in otherwise I would be in total panic mode.

I feel like I nee to run away and clear my head. I would dash down to Laguna...

 but the tank of gas is more than I can swing. So... I'll just have to keep looking for my muse in the usual spots. Classes are starting and I have a packed one for wire wrap this weekend! New students always bring fresh eyes. And with shorter days our sunsets at the creek are spectacular! So, I'll keep looking for her...  I just hope she turns up soon!

Sunset at the Creek always inspires!
