What The Heck Kind of Direction Am I Goin In?

I'm a little all over the place lately. I'm chalking it up to things I have no control over and not being where I'd like to be with KBG. The things I have no control over are making me feel more scattered than usual, making it difficult to get motivated and actually do stuff. The not being where I'd like to be with KBG is a direct result of me not getting enough stuff done and contacting the right venues/people with my work.




I'd like to be selling more dolls. I'm not sure how I should go about this. Really. What's my product? How do I go about finding my niche? Are they dolls or art? Why can't my kid have one? Eco-friendly is great, but how much impact does the rest of KBG have towards the environment?

I'd like to have my bigger pieces in galleries... that would be awesome actually. I'm not sure about how I should go about this also.

I want to be able to crochet every day and be able to make a living... not even... pay one bill a month with KBG. I'm not sure about how I should go about that.


I also want to design crochet patterns. Real crochet patterns. Patterns that are beautiful and stylish and sell in places other than Etsy. I want my designs to be a book and in magazines that people read. I'm also not sure about how to organize myself well enough to do this. Really.

I'm a bit stretched. Can I do it all? Can I figure out some sort of schedule that will allow for a little bit of everything? I'm going to have to figure out a way... it's what I want to do to be happy.

I'm starting off with applying to the "Form & Fantasy: A Contemporary Twist on Fiber Art at the Mystic Arts Center in Connecticut. I have a few sketches for 2 new pieces and then have some other dolls that I'll be adding into the application. The worst they can say is no, right
