Feeling The Pressure

I’m feeling it. I had a deadline that I would finish the room and have it all set up by the first weekend in February. I don’t think that will happen. Mainly because of two items that I cannot do and have to wait for someone else to help with. But, I will trek forward. I am feeling overwhelmed and cranky about it all now. I just want it done. I’m working out of boxes, the bedroom looks awful, and I cannot find where things are when I need them. I just want some order. Everything I own to wear is slowly becoming covered in paint. It needs to get done.

Yesterday, I felt really gnarly and wasn’t in the mood to do much. I painted the last coat on the Board & Batten today and once that dries, I can clean up the trim. At least that will be done. I think I’m really going to love having this and the ledge for the chippy windows.

I’ve given up on trying to keep the floor clean and free of paint, now. Cleaning up all this mess will be a little relief, in which I think I’ll just start bringing home furniture to antique and glaze as soon as I’m done. Once we bring the new floor home and put up the corner round, I will be ecstatic!

Meanwhile, just a little note that the plan for the subscriber program for photographers that Carrie and I started, Two Pear Designs, has dissolved. Within the first week, there was no interest in the program, and we knew that we needed a certain number of subscribers by a certain date in order to justify the long-term expenses involved. The interest in our charter program was amazing, and we just really had no idea that when we went full force that no one would be interested. Of course, after the fact of dissolving, people want to sign up. Why is it that people are interested in things when it’s too late? This seems to happen to me WAY too often. So, for now, Carrie and I decided to focus on designing for Pink Ink solely and will sell our products at full price vs. the lesser expensive subscriber options. Thanks for any support you may have given to us. Sometimes, if you don’t try, you just will never know. At least we tried.Thanks!
