keeping track of time

so, I made a little progress this week on my Etsy Shop...Thanks to the advice of friends, i downloaded GIMP and was able to do  some much needed resizing of jpegs to upload to my shop.....

This week, i think i have work at least 20 hours on things for the Etsy shop alone....and i have to make myself take inventory of what all i have actually done to go towards making this business work..

• contacting arts and craft fairs for more information
• looking arts and craft fair information
• locating work that is ready to sell
• scanning in work that is ready to sell
• uploading gimp
• reading about how to use gimp
• figuring out how to work GIMP
• resizing jpegs
• uploading jpegs
• listing artwork and promoting it on facebook
• contacting local stores about trying to seel artwork in their store...
• braingstorming designs and ideas of things to make and sell
• making important contacts
• working on four designs for new print series

and that doesn't include how much time i have actually spent thinking about all of this or reading up on all of this....

and it felt good today, to spend time with kiddo amd know that i didn't have to feel guilty that i wasn't working because i had spent so much other time doing so....i was actually able to just be with kiddo....fully focused on that moment...
