Happy Birthday

Not mine.  My baby's birthday - 27 today.  He is the youngest of five and cant believe where all that time went.  We had a great night, went out to dinner, me, hubby, son and his girlfriend.  Food was good, too much but will have to walk ot off over the next few days.  Too late to bead but that's ok, somehow will get to my beading table by the end of the week.....BTW cancelled my previous blog at MYBLOGLOG because got strange contacts and had a problem with one of my emails.  Not sure its coming from there but was uncomfortable so I cancelled out the blog.  I am on enough and the ones that count are the ones where my jewelry is pushed and discussed.  This latest blog wasnt and thought it best to eliminate it.  Got to be careful out there these days. 

Ordered more beads (surprise?) and one of these days will sit and make more jewelry.  Got to get started pushing and selling and have been reading on making people check out my website at etsy and buy something.  Well getting late, will check back again, sooner I hope.  Now that the weather is getting colder there will be more inside time....

BlogLog

Well today I joint MyBlogLog.com and still trying to figure it out.  Got off the computer and when I went back out I had 5 friends.  That was fast.  Hoping to get more business looking at my website and sell more jewelry.  Never know.  Going to two bead shows next month (Oct) one in Long Island and One in Manhattan.  Hope to buy some nice beads and get some more information.  Planning to do craft fairs next spring and summer and gathering all the info I need.  Meantime, plan to make alot of jewelry this winter (what else to do in the cold?) and will have enough of an inventory to make some sales. 

Another Sunday

So its another Sunday and its raining.  I should be beading but it has become a lazy thinking day which is bad.  At least beading takes my mind off things that I think about that make me upset.  I could be cleaning, I could be doing wash.....but its a lazy day which usually means I do nothing.  But then again I am on the computer so I am not doing "nothing".....

Is it true that you shouldnt worry about tomorrow because tomorrow becomes today and is never more and worrying about it wont change it....we have the power to make changes, why dont we?//  Too philosophical for a rainy day...

New shop

Well it has been some opening for school and a hectic week for me.  Started  last week off with a car accident - no one hurt but $2200 worth of damage.  On top of that I have a rental that I hate.  But the good news is I opened another online shop so I will be splitting my work between the two shops.  I even put some items on ebay - now all I have to do is keep track of every thing.  I am still wanting to do a flea market and that will be my goal for next summer as it is too late now.  Waiting for the book I ordered that hopefully will help me sell my stuff online and other places.  Going to make a flyer up for work and maybe get some sales there.  Lots of work ahead of me so going now to get started.....dont forget to check me out.....

FIRST DAY

Well today was first day back and am exhausted.  Not only put in a full day but also had to go to the cyclones game for the first of playoffs.  They were losing when we left so the kids can get home early because of school.....tomorrow they all come in and it should be hectic.  So far none of my jewelry is getting done...when do people find time?  Well going to have to make some time especially since I ordered more beads!!!!

WORRIED

Why am I worred? because today I made dinner, part of which was corn - placed it in the pot, cooked it, served it. Put dishes in dishwasher to be turned on later tonight and then left the house. Came back an hour later to a house that smelled of burnt pot - somehow I left the fire on the stove under the corn pot - the water boiled down and burnt the pot. Am I getting dementia - how can I do that.....then I forgot my wallet in the car.....my mind is going....why am I writing this...because I am so upset that this happened...what if the house caught on fire? What next? forget what?

BEAD JOURNALING

OK just joined whats called Bead Journaling - not sure what it is but willing to try.  Apparently I have until the end of the month to make a free-form bead project.  Been googling it to find out exactly what I should be doing and not find anything.  But will keep trying.  Beading these project looks very intricate especially using those tiny seed beads...but will try.  This is a long weekend and maybe I will get into it.  I like to try new things so who knows maybe I will find a new project I didnt know I was capable of doing.  I still have to photo my other projects and get them on etsy.....time, I need time..

RESTFUL TUESDAY

Well taking today off and not feeling like doing anything. No kids, no work, no nuthin - the weather is cool and just hanging out. I have been online and found another shop to sell my jewelry. Will try something new and hopefully this time next year I will be off and running. Will try to sell some different items on Artfire than I do on Etsy. Between the two sites maybe I will get up and running with this hobby. Have to find a way of putting myself out there so people take notice. Dont know if its just that people are on vacation or the economy, but it will work out somehow. I really need more time to do this.....waiting for an email to access my account and will try the new site...wish me luck....
