I always have many plans for my Monday, but I have been known to over estimate what I think I can do in the six hours the kids are at school.

Today was no exception, though I hoped for more, I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished (at least that’s what I keep telling myself). I fired the kiln with a commissioned piece hopefully to completion (enter prayer to the kiln gods here) and listened to a webinar about Etsy selling and focused on some social media content. I did under glaze a cat lady sculpture too, but I wish I had created more. I have to say, wanting to be a working artist sometimes feels more about admin work then creating, but hopefully all this work someday pays off.

So today I feel good, but I always want more. As I write this the anxious dread of my upcoming week of work outside of my art looms. Real life kinda sucks, but could be worst. I will try to remember that, really I will.
