Oh wow! I don’t know why I didn’t do this before! There are some wonderful blogs out there (which makes me ask to myself why would somebody would read mine, but you know, who knows?).

Well, I know why I didn’t do it before, I was totally busy making new items for my super cool event that I already had, and making this site, and some more things, but they were that main. Well, just wanted to say that I found another super cool blog, I don’t know anymore which one I like the most, maybe all? Well, this talks about handmade goods, but also has a special section for business, so cool, I’ll need a lot of time to read it all, but I will. She’s Modish.

Now, I have to go out and buy my cat’s food. She’s doing great by the way, almost a miracle, But my miracle would be to stop giving her that awful medicines. She’s getting wilder everyday each time I have to give her the meds, and also is discovering more places to hide from me! Amazing! Sadly for her, our house is so tiny that it doesn’t take me more than 30 seconds to find her. Poor kitty!

Ok, so I have to go and buy her food. I was thinking in taking the car that my lovely husband left at home, and drive on my own for the first time. BUT the place is in a really busy street, with no parking, and who wnats to get complicated. But the other thing is that since I got my new tennis, and I’ll start working in 3 weeks, I was thinking I should start training and just walk. (job will take 8 hours walking every day!!!). So I’ll better walk. I’m off.

After all the Create:Fixate anxiety, these past two weeks have been very relaxing on the mosaic-making side. But I haven’t been laying on bed with my cat Nico, as I would really like to do. No, I’ve been doing some things I had a little behind, and all art or business related.
I’ve been doing some network with my new friends of California Crafters Club on Etsy, very funny and nice people! I’ve been doing some networking on Etsy, but also been browsing a long list of blogs that another seller on Etsy handed out to me, so I can ask to be featured on them, and spread the word about my work. So I’ve benn reading a lot today, and among several nice blogs, I found the Heart Handmade blog really cool, complete, and interesting. I’ll write them a note, hopefully they like me and feature me!!

On the other side, I’m preparing myself to a long-waited trip to San Diego, were I will meet lots and lots of other freak-mosaic people like me! The two highligts for me, will be the construction of a collective mural, in which I’ll participate, of course! and the other will be a silent auction, were I’m participating too, with my purple box. I hope somebody likes it!! Oh, I almost forgot, there are two more things: the market, of course, were i pretend to spend the money i got from Create:Fixate, and luckily, get a lot of freebies! And the last and more important, is the inspiration. The convention goes together with the mosaic art show called Mosaic Arts International, where I’ll be honored to admire the works of some of the most important mosaic artists now. And that’s open for public, at the Museum of Man in San Diego, until April 26, so if you have the opportunity, don’t miss it!

I like them so much! And this one I just made is so cool, don’t you think?

I’ve been the last two days “networking”, which I’m not sure will bring me sales, but definitely is really fun. A while ago I joined group on Etsy called California Crafters Club and I’m started to feel some sense of community, and that’s something I’m always thankful. They (we) have a site to promote, but I’m not there yet. I like it anyway. Maybe they can give me some advice about the overwhelming tax issue? so sad…

Well, it seems like since I have my lovely website, I haven’t make a single post!

Truth is, I was sooooo busy I didn’t have energy to write. Lots of things to do, lots of thigs have happened.

First one, off-mosaics, my beautiful cat almost die!!!! It was awful!! We had several terrible days, wondering what the outcome would be, but for now it seems she still has many years of purring to come! She had a kidney failure, so we still have to inyect her with IV fluids, and give her a couple of medicines, but she’s getting better each day so that makes me reeeally happy. Go Nico! (is a she, but her weird first mother named her after the model/singer…)

Second one, I had a show this last weekend!! I know, I know you are supposed to post about shows BEFORE they happen but, well, I was too busy making new stuff for the show, and not feeling like writing at all, but, whatever. Next time.

The show was totally great, a LOT of people saw my art, I had a lot of feedback and that is always a pleasure. Also there were so many different people there, totally fun! By the way, the event I’m talking about is called Create:Fixate, and if you can attend one, do it! I think is totally worth it. There were about 30 featured artist, vendors (that’s me!), live music, live Dj’s, live artists. Really cool!

And I discovered one thing: kids love my mosaics! There was a preview, so there was some kids with their parents, and a couple of them just hold my mosaics and wanted to take them home with them! So funny! (parents didn’t think the same, apparently). LOL

Well, after all the nerves and work, the show is over and I’ve spend these days posting all the stuff that I made for the show and didn’t sell, so my shops are looking full and nice. Take a look!
