I'm very pleased to announce new merchandise available on my website www.kathysineyart.co.uk ! As well as prints, I now have bags with my 'Miss Molly' Rockabilly design! I'm so happy about them, they look even better than I imagined, and the merchandising people did a great job!

More lines will be added in the coming months and I can't wait!

Ever feel that everything is against you?!

I admit it ,  I'm prone to panicking - a LOT. If something goes wrong I tend to leap to the worst possible case scenario and view the problem through a veil of unattractive sobbing ( well- Im not always that bad to be fair!!).
How I've been tested these past few weeks whilst finalising art and business stuff!  Looking back- most things were just annoyances but when it's one thing after another and you're stressed, it's so easy to lose your cool. 
The day I'd planned for the big online lauch and start of a new venture, was the day my internet decided to go down ( to be fair to Virgin Media,  they are consistant - I lose my internet regularly at least one day a week!). Things were not working how they should be with my website, the bank had misspelt my business name on all the correspondance, our noisy neighbour decided to be all the more troublesome - and if that weren't enough, after just three days of finally getting everything online, the hosting company had 'minor problems' and it went offline again!! AAARRGGHHHH!!!

I spent the whole of last week thinking that all this work and effort just wasn't meant to be...being the eternal pessimist, that's how I felt. However, a good friend of mine assures me that it is meant to be and I'm either being tested, or it is negative forces trying their best to put me off and make me feel this way!  Whatever it is - the problems ( for now!) were solved and I can go back to panicking about something else!
 I'm interested what other people think.... do so many obstacles in your path point to something just not meant to be, or do you see them as challenges to overcome for something worthwhile?
