I thought I got the motivation from yesterday. I had a really good day out by myself. I walked a few blocks downtown to go to the Arts Market, where I met some of my fellow NH Etsy Team members. I chatted with a few of the ladies for a while about crafting, Etsy and the Arts Market. It was really nice to be able to talk with people who are into arts and crafts like I am. It’s tough living with a boyfriend who doesn’t have any interest in your craft and when that’s the only person you have to talk to every day. I hope to have future meet-ups with these ladies and that we become good friends.

After the Arts Market, I walked over to Main Street to visit Peggy Anne’s Quilting store, which I never knew existed until last week when one of the crafters at the Arts Market told me about it when I asked her where she buys her fabric. I have walked up and down Main Street many times and never noticed the Quilting store before. It’s a cute little store with a lot of beautiful fabric. I went there to ask if they ever do any classes or group meetings for local crafters/sewers. They said they are working on a schedule now and took my email address and phone number to contact me when they have a set schedule. I also left a bunch of my business cards there.

I’m really into meeting new people lately, which is strange for me because I have always been the type of person to stick to myself and never venture out to make new friends. I’ve always been shy and would never talk to new people unless they initiated the conversation and even then, most of the time the conversation would end very quickly because I’ve been so shy and was terrible at small talk. A few years ago I would have never walked up to a stranger and introduced myself. I guess I’m growing more as a person (or just desperate for friends. LOL.).

After that I just walked around downtown for a while, enjoying being out in the sunshine and being out by myself, free to do whatever I wanted. I went into a couple of the stores and took my time browsing the merchandise.

But now, I don’t have the motivation to work on anything. It’s too hot and I’m tired and just don’t have any ideas at the moment.

Leave me some comments and give me some encouragement!

More another day.
