Many of us a tired at this point of all the bad news on TV and radio about the economy. Since construction has been very hard hit I don't need to tell you that It has been a struggle for most of us in construction to stay busy this winter. I have enjoyed doing a variety of small carpentry jobs and some general contracting- helping people coordinate small kitchen or bath renovations. But, I often haven't had enough work this winter and I have had to look for other ways to stay busy.
My wife, CJ is a designer and we have been starting to do some projects together. I have now taken up spray painting in my shop. So I am involved in painting furniture for my wife as well as other clients. We have also expanded our antique business together and lately have moved into Bluedoor antique mall with our focus there being Mid-Century Modern. A whole new and interesting area of collecting that I grew up with in the 50's and 60's. In addition, I find myself expanding my selling on ebay. So I am beginning to see this new economy of ours as a new way to be creative. I am starting to see my life as a great adventure. I hope over the next few months to be exploring new directions and plan on sharing them with you on my blog so I hope you keep reading.
Oh, two more things: check out my wife's blog at vandaff.blogspot.com and second stop watching the news, it is too depressing.
