Students in my Airbnb Experience: NYC Macramé Wall Hanging Workshop.

Students in my Airbnb Experience: NYC Macramé Wall Hanging Workshop.

Getting ready for the holiday chaos

December 03, 2018 in IN THE STUDIO

I cannot believe it is already December! I feel like this happens every year, but this year it is particularly surprising.

And it made me realize shit I need to make more money! Before the year is over! Money come to me! I am amazed that I made it through this year and am trending upwards as far as making money and doing what I love goes, but it is still a hustle. And all my presents this year will probably be handmade.

I did my first macramé wall hanging workshop via Airbnb Experiences! I have done many macramé plant hanger workshops, but this was the first time I did a wall hanging one. I had a really cool NYC design prepared, but of course my students wanted to do their own thing. Their projects turned out awesome and I’m really happy with how the workshop went. Looking forward to more!

I also stayed mostly true to my studio hours, though later in the week I started straying and then come Saturday I had absolutely no studio time and I was really mad at myself, but then let it go. Because life happens and you do the best you can.

We went to Queens to visit a new art space that I’ll be doing a workshop at this weekend called Artefix. It’s huge and has some wonderful art in the main gallery. We stayed for a comedy show and had takeout from a nearby Nepalese place. I loved visiting a new neighborhood and glad I got to drag Jeremy along too.

I also went to an info session for a SU-Casa Residency, which I am very excited about. I’ll be working on my application this week. Check it out!

And we make DIY ugly sweaters for holiday party! See photo below.

I’m happy the holidays are coming, but also terrified that being in Arizona with my family for two weeks + will completely ruin my oh-so-carefully-created habits. We’ll see.

How do you keep your schedule when traveling or during crazy holiday time?

    In June I took a new @nyccritclub course called Textile Translations taught by @padmavathy_r. The class was amazing and it also helped me meet other artists working in fiber and textiles, including @kekearle! Katherine came to my current show and I h
