May is here

Last year I was at a show right now. It was one of those shows that I had many, many high hopes for and it was a HUGE busy. That is kind of how those work. It’s the sneaker shows that do well (you know, the ones that you don’t think are going to). I […]

Say "hello" to my little friends

It’s official, I have fallen in love with dying wool. Each time I’ve done it, I’ve learned another thing or two about mixing colors and I can’t wait to dye some more next week. The last batch I did had more muted tones (still bright but not as neon). I added some browns and such […]

Many Things

There are so many things I wish to do with my jewelry business in the near year. So many people are talking of branching out their business. Most of them are referring to finding multiple venues to sell on and while I might look into that, it isn’t my only focus. I want to branch […]

Holiday Trunk Show

I’ve been busy preparing for a Holiday Trunk Show that I’m participating in on Saturday. A fellow AREtsian, NightSkyProducts, told the street team about the event and I jumped on board. I will be joining a few local artists/crafters for this show. There will be soap, paper goods, jewelry, scarves, massages, food and of course, […]

Christmas Sale Number 1 – check.

A friend of mine has already started her Christmas shopping with a few purchases from my shop and a custom order. I love custom orders. I always have, sometimes I wonder “why on earth did I say I’d do this” but in the end, I love them. This time I didn’t grumble at all. I’ve […]

Update Successful

What? I listed a new item in my Etsy shop tonight? Get out! It has taken me just about FOREVER to get some pictures I liked of some of my new items. By forever I mean at least 3 weeks. They are not exactly my favorite pics, but they will do. Once the sun comes […]

Alchemy

Etsy has an area they call Alchemy. It’s a great place to go and post something you are wanting but can’t find on Etsy. I browse it once in a while for someone wanting a bracelet that I think I can do. The problem is my bracelets abstractly represent what people are asking for. I […]

Lightening Doesn’t Scare Me… from a distance

I spent close to an hour sitting on my bed and watching a lightening storm off to the south. I have the perfect window for viewing storms as it’s on the 2nd floor and no building obstruct my view of the mountains that lie to the south of my little part of the world. The […]

The Return

Red, Red Wine Earrings – found in my Etsy shop It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve had time to write a blog post. I’ve been knee deep in the largest event I plan at Walton Arts Center. We have a yearly fund raiser that we call “Art of Wine”. It’s a HUGE event, […]

Goodies Waiting for Me

You know, there really is not anything better than opening up a mailbox and finding a package. I had a couple of packages of goodies in my box yesterday (but I can’t reveal their contents just yet) and a package of goodies today. I have fallen in love with antiqued brass. It really couldn’t look […]
