Happy Monday!

I had so much fun painting this logo by on the front window of ! It was my first on-site work in a long time, and will probably be my last for awhile as well, and I enjoyed every minute!

I have done some glass painting and window work before but only ever with paint markers, so I hesitated when first asked if this was something I do. But I thought about it and every service I offer now was once my first job doing that service. In 2010, I went after a store window display background painting job for a large company that was launching a second brand. Had I ever completed a painting that large before? Nope. Did I have experience working with a corporate client? Nope. Did I hesitate when they offered me the job? Nope. And it totally worked out. Same thing happened a few years later when I applied to do a mural for a local restaurant, and it led to an amazing client relationship that gave me even more jobs down the road.

So if there’s one thing I’ve learned from working on this side hustle for almost 10 years is to SAY YES. If it’s something I am interested in doing and feels good and new and exciting and I want it, I say yes and figure it out along the way. And regardless of the inevitable bumps along the way, it usually works out ok.

And if you’re in the Ambler area and have an interest in comedy and improv, say yes and check out !

The little lady is napping so I’m squeezing in some sign making. A friend commissioned me for a fun laundry room sign for her mother, so I’m finally getting that one going. It’s fun to be working on something different and new!

Side note: did you know if you store your markers upside-down, you don’t have to shake and work them very long to reload them after a break? And in order to keep track of the colors, I paint a dot on the bottom with that color marker so I know what I’m grabbing.

WIP pics to come. Hope everyone is having a lovely week!
