New Direction

First for the great news. So my goal for March was to create 4 new items....I'm glad to report that I did meet my goal! YAY! Go me!

Now for the not so great "it is what it is" news. I've been mentally, emotionally and creatively DRAINED. School lectures, group projects, and paying bills all have a way of spitting on the creative fire. So I decided I needed a dose of inspiration to give me some fresh insight. To New York I went!

I had such a ball! I visited with my lil sis who is a model and budding photographer. It was great to be surrounded by love, laughter and art...what else is there? Our frolicking led us to MOMA (museum of modern art). Between the both of us, her with her professional camera and me with a mini me version, took about a thousand pics capturing the sweet essence of Life. Here's a few pics from our adventures:








This trip was a breath of fresh air, a break from the monotony. The trip gave me a new spark. I am inspired to recreate what I envisioned in my head for my shop. Its a totally new direction for me but I'm so pumped about it! This new outlook requires that I close my shop until June. At first I was sad, but then excited. This will give me an opportunity to create a shop that is truly all that I dream it to be. I can't wait to see the roll out. Stay Tuned for the new SOL9 in June!
