Since I last posted I have separated from my husband and moved to Saltspring Island. What a process that has been, I am now employed at Bruce's kitchen as a prep cook but I am also navigating life as a single mom and artist? What is that? when is it ever gong to be that again? Is it possible? I know there are others doing it but when will I get to that place? So many questions, no one to answer me, except the sound of my own voice, someday........ I know I must be patient and respect the process but when does one find the energy to leave one, the job I love that pay's the rent and feeds the kids to the one I love that I have never fully embraced,  that let's me spill my self out on to my panels. I feel like a dabbler that has some talent and some vision but no real direction, who could with a life like mine I say? After an extremely emotional day, with tears and a heart that felt like it was breaking, my youngest daughter took a picture of me, " your face look's kind of blank today " she say's? I reply "it was a hard day and I had some tears" I look at said picture and see that yes indeed grief does make us age, what a sad tired face, I don't want that to be me.......

A few new pieces will be up on this Web site within the next couple of day's and I'm also hopeing to set up an etsy site to sell cards and prints, so I guess I'm looking at this being the actual start of my New Year and I'm really very excited! This blog will also cover what its look likes to be a creative parent and being creative in my work life.

I have the Miniature Show coming in 10 days and I have nothing to show for it, why do I always do this, wait until the 11th hour to start? All I know is that if I want to make a career out of this I had betterr push past it quick.. Really the day flashes by so quickly and I find its time to pick the kids up already. I think I have to carve the same time out of my day every day as if I'm going to work starting tomorrow..........]]>Mon, 15 Nov 2010 14:34:36 -0800http://kiahardy.weebly.com/1/post/2010/11/it-begins.htmlThis is the day when I finally bit the bullet to start my blog. It has been a long time coming, I have so badly wanted to start a new venture in my life that of Artist /Crafter , that contributes finacially to our house hold. This feels really important to me as my husband shoulders the burden of our finances and I want to spread it out, only I need to have a job that makes me happy. So I'm going to start creating from home and see where it takes me, it begins]]>
