BODY DECOR NEW LINE IS HERE!!!! I will have everything up on ETSY shortly. If you see anything you like or would like a special order just let me know. SEE A PREVIEW.
Well hello my fellow bloggers. Geez, technology I tell ya, I love it and hate it. I was sitting here thinking to myself, “self, I’d really like to write a scathing analysis of how making jewelry keeps me sane”. Easy enough, right? Not so. Of course I need to share my twisted and slightly psychotic thoughts with the world, and maybe someone will be listening (or reading, whatever) and understanding how I feel. Hours later I’m still setting up my blog, totally forgetting what the heck had me so worked up in the first place. It’s almost 2am and I’m just not sure how much I have left in my brain. I am also aware that my blog layout is probably pretty lame, but that’s not why we’re here afterall, right? We’re here to connect, and I could care less if this is all a big cliché, double negative, run on, whatever, take it or leave it. Bitter much? Let me smoke a butt and decide what’s next.
As of late, my life has well, fallen apart. I am sure it will all work out, but my husband left me for the bottle. Sounds like a bad country western song, but it’s true. Last year I was writing my wedding blog, this year I have no idea where that guy I married is. This jewelery thing has stuck by me though. I started making jewelery at 14, on Grateful Dead Tour. My friend Eric taught me and I’ve been doing it on and off ever since. Lately more on, I’ve noticed. I think my designs are brilliant and just want to share them with the world. My poor Etsy site is lacking due to photography issues, but believe me, I have a buttload of pretties to unload. At 2 in the morning I look at my bed and see a sexy guy (not!), I see a bag of feathers, my lovely plier set (shiny), freshly made shrinky dinks, a halfway finished necklace, bottlecap settings, pin-up girls waiting to be affixed to something…I could go on like this forever, but if you are a crafter you know exactly what I mean. This is peace. I could make 10 very cool random things right now. That feeling is so empowering. It is the calm in my storm.
I received 2 orders this week from ETSY and that made me happy, but it’s the making of my creations that really calms me. Like most crafters, I’d be fine giving it all away, but at some point you have to say no and get serious about it, or that’s what they tell me anyway. Folks, this is really all I can do tonight, but thank you so much for listening. If you know how I feel let me know you’re out there, in space somewhere. Checking out for tonight. C
RE8ORDIE.
