april is wrap up month
Hi Rootmixers,
Happy to announce that March Madness went well for my Power Year. Yay! Though I did not complete one of my scheduled tasks, I came up with two alternates to consider and completed many other side tasks. This is an amazing process. Why do I say that? Because previously, my standard turn-around time for projects stood at about 18 months. Ugh! So, this montly stuff is awesome.
Let's review, here's my SMART Goal broken into it's 5 parts:
(1)Produce (2)well received (3)and highly sought after (4)profit-generating (5)art.
(1) I've produced (some embroidery, crochet)
(2) My embroidered art received compliments...
(3) and an invitation to join a traveling art hanging
(4) No one's throwing money at me... yet!
(5) Art - it's happening, I did practice my gouache skills
What do I need more of?
April Wrap Up Goals:
- Write out and post my Power Year Rules. (done!)
- Complete the art scarf for my mom {not even a stitch yet!}
- Focus on sleep!!! (I get so much more done and feel so much better about it if I get 9 hours of sleep starting before 11pm!) [I'm doing the opposite!!! Got to jump in!] {yay! I awoke at 7:30am with no alarm!!!}
- Get in the habit of working. Since my part-time job ended, I still need to keep that schedule... I can play for 5 hours a day in my studio! {well, I'm doing something}
- Build an alter for my inner artist and crew of angels! This visual will help inspire me.
- Send in my taxes {check}
- Plan the dual birthday party with my bff. [Save the date sent] {time selected}
- Get some money generating projects up online (this can be kickstarter, etsy, or other...) {renewed a pin-back button posting on etsy, joined the sf etsy team}
- PRODUCE!!! (This kinda goes with the 5 hours a day item. Zipper pouch, more embroidered items, some paintings...) [Test sewed a pouch, halfway...] {learned some new songs on the drums...}
- Get my laptop repaired... That will help with this whole process. Though the library is nice too. [DONE!!!]
So that's it for now, kids. Thanks for walking through the review with me and I look forward to sharing a productive month with you all!

Whew! Happy to announce the first Power Day Give-A-Way of the year. As some of you know, I've kicked off a Power Year with the awesome Megan Quicke. Here are my goals for the year, and here's my first update.
I'm having a ton of fun following through with these challenges and similar to "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear" I've found that "if a public forum is needed, an event will appear". Meaning, I will also be participating in the Salon-Style Bicycle Art Show. More details to come on that one.
Drumroll please...
Here is the very fun-to-have-made-for-you, awesome reclaimed paper, wire-bound notebook! It's filled with lots of fun and colorful graph and lined papers. All reclaimed, even the wire and machine used to make it are secondhand!
To enter to win this (and a few other goodies, free shipping included...) simply follow this blog or add it to your rss feed and leave a comment below. If you'd like a topic, tell me about a time when you worked super hard towards a goal... The winner will be randomly selected. To get additional entries, repost a link to this blog entry on Twitter, the Facebooks, or your own blog. Just include a link below so I know you did it and count your additional entries!
Thanks for helping to spread the word about my project. The support really helps me stay motivated and I've got lots of fun things I'm looking forward to sharing with you. Such as, Monday I'll be reviewing my weekend with you in photos. I've just come home from an awesome art show and am looking forward to telling you all about it!
Have a super-awesome weekend!
xoxoZ
