Week #38

Pregnant Artist headed into the unknown...

My baby is inside of me, fully formed. Im fully on the edge of the unknown in all aspects of my life.

I've spent the last 8 years creating this little niche hat business/painting style. I was always the type of girl trying to prove myself in one way or another. As soon as I got pregnant I dropped that attitude, and am really happy with my work and hats I've created. That being said I have no idea what to expect in the next chapter as a business owner / artisan. Swimming in a sea of hat makers, and off shore brands I don't know if I'll come back from early motherhood with a renewed gusto for hats or maybe something new? Its all so exciting! What will happen to my art stuff? What will happen to my mind & body? What will happen to everything? Never in my life has the future looked so super unknown, its terrifying, but all lines I cross in this life create stripes and heres to the big stripe called motherhood.

I know there are people in the world making a living off of their online sales. Heres to this Shiny new website and trips to the post office, making it easy to continue with Cut Threads and raise a child. I sincerely hope to crush the internet hat scene with the hats I've got. May the wishes of a new mother be met with skrills from around the world.
