I am new to the world of blogging, so I am trying to reach out to other bloggers who I admire and say hi! Feel free to stop by sometime and say hi! I am sure to be back here often now. Hope you are having a great day and that a years time has helped you figure out your own balance!<br />xo hannah<br />http://thebraidedbandit.blogspot.com/The Braided Bandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875133855025788033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398947618415184384.post-9464473501923475302011-08-12T21:09:24.969-07:002011-08-12T21:09:24.969-07:00I really identified with this post as a design gra...I really identified with this post as a design graduate myself and 29 year old "corporate drop-out". I struggle with this as well and have moments of huge self-doubt and confusion. I know a lot about what I don't want and still haven't figured out what I do want. I really respect your sweet honesty Lisa, you seem like a very sensitive and compassionate lady with loads of endless possibilities in doing whatever your heart desires. Keep that chin up, this too shall pass, and please don't ever stop creating your beautiful jewelry! You are one of my original inspirations for starting my own Etsy shop, you are amazingly talented. I truly believe that just getting out of the house more will really help! And if you are anything like me, you compare yourself to others and have relentless expectations of what you "should" do. Just be you. It's already amazing. xo (((sending hugs)))))The Vintage Parlorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352735207358680169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398947618415184384.post-85378525099475954132011-05-16T08:59:44.685-07:002011-05-16T08:59:44.685-07:00I am so glad we ran into each other on Twitter!

I feel anxious about all these things too and was just recently talking about getting a little job on the side... maybe working in a fabric store was my idea. Something to get out of the house but still be able to talk about making things all day for when I return to my little creative box. <br /><br />My car got towed this morning... so I said screw work, I'm going to the river for the day. Ha! <br />xo! <br />ArlieArliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845730193698343609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398947618415184384.post-21960803710440420402011-01-30T14:57:37.388-08:002011-01-30T14:57:37.388-08:00I know this comment comes much later than the post...I know this comment comes much later than the post, and I hope that by now you have a lot more figured out, but as an artist myself, I have to say that I often find myself feeling EXACTLY the same way lately! Where did the excited creative girl go? How do I keep myself motivated to make new work? What happens if the sales just completely STOP. The word anxiety sometimes doesn't even do these feelings justice! I'm really glad to know I'm not alone in this crazy existential crisis. I think your designs are amazingly gorgeous and I hope you can find that balance - please let me know how if you do!!

I did an erroneous search on google and a link came up http://elsita.typepad.com/thehiddenseed/2009/09/lisa-at-anthropologie.html <br />you see, I'm a graphic designer graduated 2 years ago and have been struggling on finding a job, when I read your interview I felt both, envious and inspired. I needed to look for your shop which you mention in the interview. I absolutely loved your jewelry,(once I find a job, I will be your #1 shopper)from there I figured I should "like" you on facebook to keep updated about your jewelry... finally, I ended here, someone that sounds completely different from the person on that interview. Thank you for being honest, I continue being feeling envious and inspired, by your work and your integrityAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151824136578440447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398947618415184384.post-57004020065673997842010-08-26T10:13:08.018-07:002010-08-26T10:13:08.018-07:00Hi Lisa, I just found your blog today but I met yo...Hi Lisa, I just found your blog today but I met you last november at the From Scratch market in Trexlertown (you are your sister are so cute!). I just got married this summer (also!) and I've been wandering around in a "what do I do with my life now?" stupor ever since! It helped me to know some of my friends were in the very same boat, which I why I thought I'd share that your not alone! It's smart to step back and consider what you need to change around in your life when things aren't quite working, and you'll surely figure things out eventually. Can't wait to see what you decide, I hope you find a fulfilling balance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398947618415184384.post-58870049697702600822010-08-18T10:44:59.371-07:002010-08-18T10:44:59.371-07:00"If you stick to you art it will take care of..."If you stick to you art it will take care of you somehow"<br />Kiki SmithCristina Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100896748015965712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398947618415184384.post-39005344343713336012010-08-18T10:23:26.766-07:002010-08-18T10:23:26.766-07:00whatever you do in life do not stop making beautif...whatever you do in life do not stop making beautiful art.
