Happy New Year from The Countess!

Jan1

Hello Lovelies!

Happy New Years all!

Had to work until 11p last night but got home in time to enjoy a great late night meal, dessert, and some wine in the midnight hour.

I’m going to post some fun year in review later this week, as for right now, I’m keeping a promise (perhaps a new resolution?) to get some rest. Last year I bounced from project to project without a whole lot of down time. This year, I’m sleeping in at least one day a week. Everyone has to recharge. For once I truly enjoyed a fun, relaxing holiday with my family this year.

2018 was no where near as bad as 2017, but there was a lot of room for improvement.

My favorite gallery, 1900 Park, and the Dog Museum closed. A neighbor died and his body rotted in his apt for five days when they removed him on Easter which gave me flashbacks to my older sister’s passing on Easter 2017. Had a lot of false starts with side jobs/art shows that didn’t pan out.

I’m closing my Etsy store but have already opened my Square store and have my steampunk/gothic stuff at the Boo-Tique at Haunted STL. I will be adding to my Depop store as well.

And things definitely got better. I did switch day jobs to a less stressful (and fun!) environment. Got a new (to me) car. I lost weight and except for being freakishly sick in November, turning 50 has been really good. I’ll have a whole different blog on that later this year. I’m blessed and lucky to be alive.

I cranked out three books/stories I’ve been meaning to finish and got several pieces into national competitions. Last year’s resolution of less drama was pretty well kept. And I’ll keep it again this year, constantly making changes, doing what my mom always told me, “worry about what Vicki is doing”, 😂 Yeah, because incredible things are happening! I’m adding being kind to my list. There is no room for hate in my heart. “Let It Go” is one of my mantras and it falls in well with “it’s going to be OK” which is something my mom used to say to me.

Patience has not been a virtue of mine, but I’m going to use it to my advantage. No more waiting, no more second guessing. Time to close my eyes and leap!

Goodbye to 2018!

Out With the Old for the Holidays! Thanks

Dec20

Hello Lovelies:

Many big changes continue to happen in my creative life and well, life in general.

Again, many thanks to all who have supported me and all of my art. I recently had a great check up with my doc and my health has made leaps and bounds since I was sick through most of November.

I used that sick time to re-evaluate basically everything. As previously announced, I am closing my Etsy store sometime in early 2019.

https://squareup.com/store/haute-hen-countess

Also MORE BOOKS. I have more titles coming out in various formats and genres, so watch my amazon author page, the link is here:

If you have Kindle Unlimited, certain pieces of mine are ALWAYS FREE. My two new latest pieces on Amazon/kindle:

“I Died Here”, The Vampire’s Little Black Book Series, V.11:

“The Kicho”, The Dolls of Society Series, v.1

Both are in amazon’s “Pen to Publish 2018” competition, so I am especially grateful for your support!
