4. Update all my photos and create a 'theme' within my shop.
5. Work on my blog, to create something that has a presence on the oh-so-huge internet. :)

Jess // CLineCreations said...

Hi Timothy! My top 5 goals are:

(1) Quit my corporate America day job! Not because I think I can make it full time crafting (yet, hopefully), but because it is just an awful environment that sucks out your soul.
(2) Paint more and expand into more wildlife themes, which have always been my Achilles heel when it comes to Chinese brush painting.
(3) Experiment with some Chinese knotting jewelry -- up to now, I've focused on decorative pieces for the most part.
(4) Do a few craft shows, or at least one, since I've never taken part before and I think it would be an awesome experience.
(5) Try to do some more off-Etsy marketing -- I'm playing around with the idea of going to Brooklyn museums and marketing my handpainted cards as wholesale.

Sorry, I got a bit verbose with those... thanks!
