To wrap up the September Pawtucket Open Studios

This year with POS was a little interesting while at the same time fun for me . I get to know that I could have fun even though there is not much fun around. The first night was a little slow to my surprise. I couldn't get to meet with my other artist friends with whom I was going to share the room. Well they didn't show up:((. Anyways, so in that huge room I was like a squatting bird:)). I tried to decorate but the room was at least 3 times bigger than my whole house, it was a little challanging for me. I gave up and kept my spirit up and it worked. I guess with that manner, I had good sales and I met a lot of prospective repetitive customers. Also, my friends , Hilal (http://www.newmoonstudio.etsy.com/) and her son, Alex, and Suzan (http://www.letmemakeyouchic.etsy.com/) and her daughter , Sude had visited me and cheered me up. Last but not the least I want to thank to my Sevim Teyze who had helped me whole alot in wrapping up and dismantling...

Here are some pictures of my "Studio":

These are some of pictures that I want to share from Hope Artists Village Event...

Please see below for more information about this show...

My Nest

I am new on blogging and a little hesitant what to write and how to start. Let's see:))
And I go...
I am very busy with my 13 month old daughter, Erin, my love , my motivation, my exhaustation and everything else as all the parents would think of.
Also I am trying my best to create everyday for my upcoming art shows before Christmas...
AND ETSY is becoming my secured nest everytime I feel stuck . It is really a great website that has really talented people in one place.
In September my little angel will start to daycare for 2 days a week and hopefully I will work on my designs, my websites, and my upcoming wholesale projects more efficiently.

Last but not the least I want to thank my wonderful husband who's been so understanding and supportive to me in these days with what I am trying to accomplish ...
