Zoom To July Hello August

Wow, I've been so busy with life I haven't had a chance to do much blogging.


I remember when I was a kid I use to think time trickled by and I would never grow up. Well, it is so true, Never say Never! :)


I have Scleraderma which is a skin disorder that causes your skin to tighten to the point of tearing. You then have open sores which are called ulcers. They are very sore.


For the last couple of months my hands have been in poor condition and too sore to sometimes even type. Right now I am only using a couple of fingers to type this message.


I just wanted to let you know why sometimes I take so long to do a new post, and instead of telling you some made up story, I figured it's always better to just tell it like it is.


I hope everyone is creating and having a great time.


It would be really nice to see some of your work.

I have here a bracelet that I made which took forever because I wired each bead to make three strands for this bracelet. The jade horn is a vintage piece which is part of the clasp.

Then I couldn't resist making this pair of cute earrings to add to my collection in my shop.


Since my hands are still to sore to create more jewelry I've headed back to my sewing machine to release my overloaded head of all the ideas that I want to make. :)


Off I go for now and I hope to hear from you soon and see what you have been making.

Have fun.

Sew Sew Sew

I find that because my work area is in such disarray, I just can't get my shit together lately.

Having an organized work area makes all the difference in creating, for me at least.

I have been looking for some new shelves and cupboards so that all my fabric and notions can be organized to the point that everything has it's place.

My mind is just overflowing with ideas that I can't keep up with it and get so overwhelmed that sometimes I just end up wasting time.

Because of this, my production is moving at a slow pace, and since it's only me that is designing and creating moving slow is not a good thing.

I would welcome any ideas or suggestions to get better organized. Even seeing how you have your work area set up might give me some good ideas.

I will be looking at some magazines for ideas too.

Off I go...

Adding The Finishing Touches*

What I've been doing the last couple of days is pull out my stash of projects that I started and then I would get distracted forgetting about the initial project I started.


Even now as I'm doing this entry, I'm thinking of what creation I going to start on. By that I mean what project will I be adding the finishing touches to so I can get it listed in my shop.


I always try to make a few items for the special days of the year which I have no problem with stock if I would just finish what I start and stop getting distracted.


I had made a bunny head out of copper wire almost two Easter's ago and have just finished it to my satisfaction. 


Can you believe that?   I just need to take pictures and upload them to the shop. Yeah! I'm staying on track for once.  It turned out pretty nice if I do say so myself.

Once I get it uploaded to the shop, I'll come back and add a link here too.


I still don't have any one following my blog, and I don't know what happened to pictures I had uploaded to this blog. 


I do find it hard trying to keep up with my shop, blog and a website that I'm still trying to get started, but I'm not a quitter so I'll just keep on trucking.

I'd love to hear from someone to find out what you are up to and if you are an artisan of some kind.  I'd love to see what you make.  So please do drop a link.


Until next time be well and successful.

Starting To List NEW Creations.

I have about 7 completed projects that are waiting to be listed in my shop, but just don't get enough time to do it.

There are a couple of items that I listed

I want to do it so bad because I know someone out there is going to love the bags I made from a long plaid skirt.

They turned out so much better than I expected. :)

I would Love to see what You have been making and invite You to join my Blog so that we can follow each other.

Did You get a chance to join the contest with "Singer" ?  I know it closed at the end of June but was wondering if anyone knows who won the beautiful sewing machine for first prize.?

It's so late right now and I promised myself that I would go to be earlier than last night. If I do so, then I will be better rested for tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Talk Soon.
