Enjoying the Weather

It's beginning to look and feel alot like Spring and I'm loving it.  Today would be perfect for sitting outside and painting or doodling. But that's not happening for me. I'm having a yard sale. Thank goodness the weather is permitting.

Thriving in a Big City

Currently I live in a small town but I grew up in a big/major city. Now, I have the urge to return to the city life. I'm miss places being open late besides fast food/chain restaurants and Wal-Mart.  I miss the energy of people on the go. As I am preparing myself for a move, I have this big question looming over my head "How do artists live and thrive in big cities?" I'm really speaking about the cost of living. As I peruse places online, all I can see are $$$. I intend on staying with my current job and landing another position, and going hardcore at being a craftpreneur; however, I want to know if it's possible to have a thriving life if I were to be solely a craftpreneur. For any of you dear artists and craftpreneurs, I'm reaching out for help.
