Still Figuring It Out

I've had several conversations with different people about the fact that the difficulty in reaching your goals lies primarily in just making those goals. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what my ultimate career goal is, why is it so hard? Well, I have to say I'm a lot closer to figuring that out now that I know I don't want to be in business for myself anymore. In fact, I feel pretty sure that I want to be an art teacher. Now I am just contemplating whether I want to teach kids, teenagers, or adults. The good news is that I'm getting involved with our Art Association and will be teaching the 3-6 year old Summer Art Camp. Its only 2 weeks, but I'm really excited about it, and I feel like its the perfect thing for me to be doing. I went last week to sit in on one of the year-round kid's art classes, which are all taught by the same guy, Richard. He was really cool, and I was so glad to have the experience of being in his class. That particular section was all homeschool kids between 7-17. It was amazing to see these kids immersed in art projects, and especially to see the ones who were really into art in general. I am probably going to go into one of Richard's classes again to do a special fiber-related project with them. Its such a rich experience to get out in the "real" world for a change!

Anyway, that's a little update on my life. In terms of sewing, I am almost done with the bridesmaid dresses! When I'm done, I think I will work on some lovely knit skirts to put on Etsy. And then I'll also be working on getting rid of the EcoUnique website, and creating my on-line portfolio. It feels great to be going through these changes. Speaking of change, Spring is already showing its beauty here, buds are appearing, and crocuses are blooming. Refreshing for the spirit after months of dreary rain!
