Truly a new beginning

I am finally starting to create boy's art. I love working with visual texture and pattern. I want to start doing more.

I have swayed with the notion of selling my art for a long time now. I tried Etsy for a little bit but was never committed wholeheartedly. I wasn't very successful and hardly had any people seeing my items. I took my first big step and signed up the other day for an E-class with Kelly Rae Roberts and let me tell you I'm amazed, confused, excited, nervous, and yes fearful all at the same time. I am two weeks behind in the class and feel I may catch up by the time the class is over. After viewing comments of the first post, I see that many people know each other from other classes, have beautiful blogs, have established shops, and yes seem very successful already. I am a mother of two who has said for the past 4 years I am going to do my art, but without finishing what I begin. I am tired of all my excuses to wait until... Signing up for the e-class is my biggest step to date with the commitment to my art.

Last night was my first night of the class and I was up reading, exhilirated until 3 in the morning. I have not felt like this in forever. I didn't want to go to sleep because I didn't want that feeling to go away. However, I knew in a few short hours I would have two screaming kids calling my name. Tonight I find myself overwhelmed and lost. I am starting from the beginning again and filling up my notebook with to-do lists so I can make headway for myself. I will not quit. I will not quit my art. This is what I am meant to do. I know it.
