Thank you Grace for inviting me to guest blog this week. I’m Meg Mateo Ilasco and I am probably best known for producing the Modern Economy sample sales and for writing Craft, Inc.

A question I often get is “How do you do it all?” So to give you a sense of my profound thought process, here’s a summary of my business-related thoughts during any given week:

I need to grow my business.
I need a regular paycheck and steady job.
I need to grow my business.
I need a regular paycheck and steady job.
I need to grow my business.
I wish I had a pimpwad of cash in my pocket.
Where are my f’n keys?

Hey, life on the other side of the etsy storefront (not that I have one) isn’t always so glamorous! But honestly, I love what I do.

So I thought long and hard about what wisdom I should impart on you this week–spending three whole minutes gazing through a window slowly stroking my invisible cat (with a gloved hand, of course) overcome with malicious thoughts of taking over the guest blogging world….before falling asleep. Anyway, I’ll just be sharing some random musings (perhaps on business and design related stuff) as well as some posts called “From the Desk of…” which features the desktops/workspaces of some indie designer and artists.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my posts this week.

Meg
