Today I had planned the dreadfully boring tasks of sorting and filing papers, cleaning some sweaters, and sewing a curtain. This is still in the name of getting my life and studio organized.
But then I sat outside in the sun with my coffee, as I do each morning, welcoming the equinox, and I encountered some sort of invisible wellspring of ideas for Lumino!
Marketing ideas, which I know zero about, flooded in. I wrote them down to research.
Then I became inspired to begin the layout for my book! I realized I have so many photos and words compiled that it actually frightened me, I had a feeling of standing in front of a giant tower that I must climb before it tips over! So I worked on that.
I saw a multitude of ideas for a line of jewelry I am intending to make this winter, just drawing themselves in my mind—and ways to reproduce them should they ever grow to more than I can make myself.
Later, I felt like sitting at the computer, and I must always take advantage of that because most days I do not! So I spent time working on my website tidying the pages here, making them look as awesome as I can manage. The About pages got a lot of love… About Lumino Shoppe and About Christi, if you’d like to take a peek.
I explored some more with my logo, which I have not been totally happy with for years now. It has changed a few times, as do we all. I want to get something solid, though, so I can have a stamp created to use on silver jewelry as my maker’s mark. I like the current incarnation more than the others. I need to write a post of its meaning if I decide to keep it. It’s hanging out at the top of my website now for a test run.
I did not get the tasks on my to do list finished, or even started, but some things I have been stuck on for a long time just answered themselves in the day’s light. I think that is a better to do list, anyway.
Gratitude for little miracles.
Blessed equinox to you~
