<p>Oh, and as far as the office goes... Yeah well it's no more. Closed it's doors last week. Was truly a sad day. However, it is the jump start I need to move forward with my own artings!</p>

<p>Yes - Global Domination sounds good to me... My position was eliminated and Mar 26 was my last day at 'the office'... welcome to unemployment!! I actually feel that this is exactly where I am supposed to be - and am really excited to have an opportunity to deal with things that need to be done... like adding more merchandise to my etsy store! Yes... a few more etsy sales would be very motivational...
thanks for the article! Encouraging that we're not alone out here. :>)</p>

<p>Cast my vote too! I've been working from home since being "bought out" last August with a brief temp assignment earlier this year. My lease is up at the end of June too so I'm hussling! So of course my vote was strictly CAFFEINE-related. :) </p>

<p>Times is tough baby. My desk is a manageable mess. I'm constantly between the garage, my little work space, my computer, and last but not least the kitchen table for over-flow. Just trying to keep my shop active. I agree with VintageEye-Etsy keeps me motivated, doing all I can to my shop noticed.
For the eco-friendly picks I love this find by Artsy http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10120814
I also build my shop with items as eco-friendly as I can-utilizing many reclaimed materials and eco-friendly ways and means of creating and selling what I make. If I am going to put stuff out there, then I want to give something back to our planet. Nature is my motivator. Sometimes its easy and sometimes it's tough-but I'm always working at it. This is my latest and most favorite eco friendly item in my shop-made from up-cycled scrap materials into something functional. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23320256
I gotta get back to work!</p>

<p>I voted for a piece that makes me smile and that is a good motivator. I am also very motivated to create more artwork and get out there and sell. The economy is one factor but just creating and getting out there to promote handmade items and to keep working towards being self supporting as an artist is my biggest motivator. Regardless of the crazy economy artists still create because it is what we do!</p>

<p>Love the motivational mottos! This is a fantastic feature & good place to reiterate this Henry David Thoreau quote from the recent Storque blog, Etsy Book Club: Walden
"I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." - Walden
One of the most beautiful things I've ever read. It's true, too. Perseverance furthers.</p>
