One Day at a time

-

 This Pandemic has caused so many changes to our lives this year.  Like so many we, Artist, have lost our source of income.  Summer art fairs and festivals were cancelled and the holiday bazaars.  Which means we need to have a better online presents.  Which I have been working on recently.  

I have returned to my Etsy Shop and added new work to my Zazzle Shop.  I've created lots of new products on Zazzle, even put some designs on products related to home office.   

These collections, using my original designs each include a mug, mouse pad, and coaster.  A couple of them include a comfy pillow for your desk chair, one has a matching tote bag when you do need to make that trip to the company office. 



Currently my Etsy shop is stocked with my new work, mostly from this year.  I'm trying to get all my work completed during the Pandemic posted.  Then hope to get some  holiday gift ideas posted too.  


Trying to stay busy,  always yard work, now the raking and cleaning up needs to be done.  The house, well you know, there's endless things to do here.  But my art is what fills my heart and my girls, we cautiously get together when we can.  And there's my pup Fritz,  he needs loves and walks.  So glad I've have him now, he's been great company and pushes me for walks everyday.  

So much for now.  My goal is to post more often.  I did better about posting when I was still working full time.  Seems like now it's been an after thought.  

Take care,

Cyndee

    I love the diversity of your doodles, like the table you did! It's beautiful. I know what you mean about posting. My actions are definitely not following my intentions on my own blog!

My Grandsons Question

My Grandson ask me recently what I do all day.  Now that I'm retired and not working, I feel I don't have to do anything if I choose.   But I realize my family worries about me.  Use it or loose it theory. I just want to do my art, create new things, recycle old. Take nature hikes with my pup, take photos, peruse thrift stores for treasures to doodle.  Enjoy nature, she has so much to share, smells, sounds,  colors its overwhelming at times and I am fortunate to live in the beautiful Northwest where greens are greenest.  We have the ocean a couple hours away,  and snow capped mountains in the other direction.   My daughters live in the area,  and my grandsons are only a couple of miles down the road.  So I get to see as many of their sporting events I can get to.  Football season is especially fun, all three boys play, with my oldest off to college in the fall to play football at EWU .  I get to tag along with my oldest daughter on vacations and ski trips, although

Social Media

UGH!!!  Social Media will be my undoing.  I recently took a class on how to use social media to help market my art.  So I've been making changes, searching groups, put myself out there more.  Now I need to double the time I scan thru my FB pages and discovered that it was worth while posting more frequently to Instagram .  Twitter gets caught in the middle somewhere.  And then there is Pinterest , my Etsy shop and this blog.   So for starters I thought I needed to add all the social media icons to my blog but couldn't find any I liked so doodled my own. Fun project put the trick was getting them posted.  Spent a day trying to figure out how to get them the size they needed to be to line up.   Got a little lesson in HTML.  But persevered and as you can see they are neatly in a row and the background is transparent.  You can find just about anything you need to know how to do on You Tube.  Also found a great little online program that will instantly turn your backgroun

Fort Vancouver Heritage Garden Series

I've been working on a series of photos I took last August in the Heritage Gardens at Fort Vancouver.  Late August is always my favorite time to walk thru the gardens, last year they weren't as lush as previous years,  the 115 degree temp in the summer did a lot of damage to the gardens in our area.  But there were still some hardy varieties that were as pretty in bloom as always.   I like to walk around the Fort often.  Here are some pics I doodled in the past from the Fort and Officers Row.    Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. Thanks for visiting.  Check my Events page if you'd like to see my work this summer, also check my shop at Etsy for prints.   Cyndee Starr She Who Doodles
