I don't know what I'm doing...
This applies to both blogging and life...
I do not regularly blog, although I want to.
I thought blogging would be the perfect way to marry my love of making art with my love of writing ( I have an old Journalism degree, after all.)
But my few blogs are like random journal entries plucked from what seems like some under-the-bed-Dear-Diary-situation...Ick...
Since my previous blog attempts make me wince, I've been quite successful at procrastinating a new entry.
After seeing the movie "Julie& Julia" I deduced that my blog needs a plan or a theme.
The "Project Runway" theme is rather broad.
So why not make the truth my theme -- I don't know what I'm doing...
Ironically, this appears to be a life-long theme.
I began raising kids at 22 -- and didn't have a clue.
I accidentally started creating jewelry in the 90s through repairs of vintage jewelry. I had no tools, except for tweezers (yes, brow tweezers) and nail scissors, and guess what -- did not know what I was doing.
But I learned through trial and error and plodding-away progress (both with kids and art...)
Crabs move forward in a side-ways style. As Cancer the Crab, I move in a confusing fashion and seem to choose re-inventing the wheel instead of pursuing a traditional course.
Last year I quit my full-time job to expand my jewelry design business SueWooJewels.
So. I want to blog about this adventure as I participate in Art Shows, figure out how to market myself, struggle to pay bills, juggle a personal life and relationships, while never at any point knowing what I'm doing...
Stay tuned.
I'll try to, too.
