Hey Steemers!
Its nice to "meet" you all - I'm Christie, a cement pot maker recently transplanted from Brooklyn to San Diego. I gave up my corporate job in the heart of Times Square and with the hopes of breaking into the MMJ industry, packed up my boyfriend and moved to sunny San Diego last spring. I love succulents despite having a knack for killing them, and so I concentrate on making the pots instead ;) Hand mixed, hand colored, hand poured - handmade is better! Im inviting you along on my journey from full benefitted-salaried-employee-with-bonuses to a hopefully-not-starving-artist. A pre-warning before you hit that follow button: I grew up in Massachusetts, so the truck driver language is natural. I try to keep it classy for business purposes, but considering this is a blog platform, do anticipate feelings of anxiety, rantings and ravings and all around truthfulness of struggling to get an artisan business off the ground.

I'm (hopefully) going to be in a few pop-up shops and events this spring! Im very particular about how I want my display to be staged but I cant afford the props I really want. So, boyfriend enlisted, and DIYing has begun. Check out his post on the process: https://steemit.com/diy/@nutinbutdatruth/diy-ladder-shelf-usd60-usd80-in-supplies-and-2-days-work
Ill finish off with a little about me: I hate words like artisan and euphorbia because they sound snobby, but I realize they have their uses...Im cringing at my computer just typing them out though! I am a nature lover but not a tree hugger, I am a Cancer so I care deeply even if its trivial (maybe even more so when it is, to prove a point lol), and my mantra is if patience is a virtue then I'm going to hell. Sometimes everything seems urgent and exaggerated, so I'm hoping that this SoCal attitude will slow me down a bit.
Happy potting!
Christie
