Bye bye 2017, Hello 2018

Hello folks and a very Happy New Year to you all...!

I haven't been around much on this blog or on my social media, nor have I produced much paintings in the past few months, so I thought I would write a little about what has kept me so busy in 2017...

In a nutshell: we bought a house, gutted it, moved in with family during renovations, and finally moved in to our new little nest, just before Halloween. I'm also a full time mum to a busy toddler and a pre-schooler,so needless to say it was hard to keep the studio going during that time...

The whole process took several months and there has been (and still is!) a lot to do after moving in, but needless to say those things have all been on hold over Christmas...!

My priorities for the start of 2018 are as follow:

- Set up my new studio properly (at the moment it is more of a storage room, and the word is polite!)

- Finish those little things around the house (paint touch-ups, painting skirting boards etc...)

Then I will turn my attention to

- grow the wholesale side of my business,
- implement a better work schedule (something I always struggled with)
- grow my mailing list and be more in touch with regular offers/competitions,
- get more consistent in my social media efforts,
- get back to painting...!

Well, this is what I've been up to, and why I haven't been around much, but you will hear more from me in 2018...!

Here's to a great year,

Amélie
