June

I cannot say enough about how much I love the month of June. I am trying to figure out how to never work in this month again! Any ideas?

My jewelry making is well on the way. I have learned a lot about myself. I have so many great ideas but let myself get shut down by opinions. I really have decided to just do what I wanna do. This might seem "oh so simple". I guess to me it has not been simple because I have been in a habit, for years, of doing and living for others first. No one specific, just others. It feels great to let that wall down and just let my creativity take me wherever! I still find that I am scared to let my ideas out there for others to see. I am getting there.

My thoughts right now are simplicity.

bare essentials of life

nature being natural

symmetry

Feelings, Possessions, Relationships, Time... Everything being balanced!

JEWELRY in Progress

I am well on my way. I have 20 items ready to sell and I hope to double that number by the end of the week. I may have found my calling. Making jewelry satisfies me in ways I never knew. I am really enjoying the process and can't wait to get started selling online. I have decided I need some sort of website to display a gallery of my work and a little about myself. NEED HELP!!!

A friend and I are getting together this week and taking pictures of the jewelry I have ready.

First Sell

I sold my first set today. $25 for earrings and bracelet. I called the set prequoise. OK well I just made that up! Point is, I am focused and excited. I think the key to my productivity has been bringing my work into the family living room. I can still listen to my son ramble on about Naruto and hang with my man while I bead away! Tonight I am making a gift tonight for my lil lady friend Erika, who is performing in a play tomorow : )

Excited about BEADS

I just spent Memorial day weekend away from my beads and sewing machine and had the best time on the beach with my man and son. I missed making jewelry!!! I am shocked at how much more I have been enjoying beading compared to the last time I got into it five years ago and in high school. I started a decent size collection of all beading supplies in 2004. Beautiful beads of all kinds, wire of all kinds, plus much more just sat at the back of my closet collecting dust. I am proud that I cleared the dust and got busy. It feels great to accomplish projects I put away so long ago. I am on a roll and pushing out a ton of product! ESTY hear I come! Any special requests?

I'll add pics soon.

PEACE
