Then January started. And there was nothing. I worked my butt off in hopes that it would result in some work. I definitely got cranky and discouraged some days.
Then last week, some things started coming together. It was weird because I could almost feel that it was going to before it happened. Like this is the week. And it did.
I don't mean to run around blog land with my arms open shouting "I'VE MADE IT BIG, GUYS!" Because I totally haven't. That would be absurd. I just have more design work than I ever have before. I even had to tell school that no, I wasn't available to come in more than two days this week, because "I have some design work to do." That felt good to say.
I am thrilled, grateful, excited, and... scared. I love what I'm doing, but sometimes just the thought of knowing that you have to produce something that someone else will like in a timely fashion is stressful. Naturally, I try not to think too much.
It felt good to write this post, friends. I like sharing with you, and I'm not talking about food posts. We'll have to do this more often. Hopefully I haven't turned anyone off if you're out there and were maybe sorta thinking about hiring me. Because I would love to work with you. And I'm not too busy for you, I promise.
While I have your ear, hope over to Sketch and Wash today to check out my Art to Inspiration post! You know you want to join in next month!
Also, Amy over at The Charming nominated me for the Liebster Award. Isn't she sweet?! Go love on her.
