Never thought of it like that. It is soooo much better than Subway. (Sorry, I think I have just eaten too many of their subs.) Really it is the bread that makes all the difference. Occasionally Subway bread takes like wood shavings (maybe that is just here in the states though.) Ummm. . . Yes. Ha! Never thought of it like that. It is soooo much better than Subway.

(And I know many hundreds of artists- literally) The key for her is working small which is a struggle for me. I like it big. Also I don't think she <i>had</i> to earn it to live, which makes it a completely different thing when you are starting out. I can't tell you how many artists I've talked with recently who are going towards working for a pay check. So far things are a little down at the fairs but up at the gallery (go figure) though I am using the mailing list more and more to move the originals. (Lambs sold yesterday) I completely understand about being less hirable. I haven't done anything but the art thing for 15 years. At this point my skill level is good for Walmart or flipping burgers. Well maybe not quite that bad, but there also isn't much options out here in the boonies. I hope it all works out for you. You mention government and taxes and it sends a chill down my back. Uhg. What kind of work are you looking for? Hey Angela, In truth I have never known anyone who created with such ferver as Maggie does.

You certainly deserved that. I am sorry the sales were down, but it still sounds good. I am not surprised if the economy isn't effecting things. I spent yesterday applying for some partime social work jobs, due to my economy at least. Got a letter from the IRS about 2006 taxes, my misunderstanding, maybe -- if get resolved in my favor, may not have to hop on a job, if I got one. But am mindful, that the older I get, the less likely it is that I am "hirable". I am not giving up on art or art for some income either, just know that that is a longer haul than I think Maggie was able to do. Even at my best, I don't work as well as fast as she does for one. Her posts made me believe, but I am not sure I now believe I could ever do it as fast as her even if I believe I can do it. Love the sign thing, it felt like a miracle that I could read it so easily. Very intriguing, thanks for posting it. Hope you are getting rested. Angela Congratulations on having the good weather, Mona! You certainly deserved that.
