After years of planning, countless
details to get in order, and not a little procrastination, I am on
the verge of launching my website. My patient husband once suggested
to me many, many years ago that I might want to get an email address
to keep in touch with clients. I assured him that would never be the
case. Since my feeble quest to stay tech-free came to an end with a
taste of the world wide web, he next suggested that I have a Facebook
page for my business in order to show potential clients my work. No!
I would not be a part of that "social media" herd. "You
know that takes over your life" I argued. I don't like to take
up too much of my time with unpleasant things. As it is my idea of
housework is a quick sweep of the dirt into the cracks of our old
floor, and a large bouquet of wildflowers to distract the eye from
lingering dust webs.

Since the Facebook page has been set up as
an online portfolio, my dear husband made a new suggestion: a blog. I
somehow had the odd notion that a blog was a cross between a forum to
rant about conspiracies and a way to bore the world with what you ate
for breakfast. Since you are reading this you can guess the outcome
of my husband's advice.
This leads us to the next phase of my
work. It really has been years in the making, but with the help of my
home-grown design assistants, we are beginning a countdown to the
launch of my new website. You will be able view galleries of my work,
shop current items for sale, and keep track of events along with
other features. One of the special features is a page dedicated to my
daughter Kelsey's fraktur artwork. When is the big day you ask? June
26, 2014 we will be going live. I look forward to connecting with you
in a new way.
