finally!

i finally made some new pieces this week! i'm very happy with the things that i made and i may have my first sale! i'll have to post pics later once i cut them down and get them setup for my etsy store...all things that i must do this weekend before the kids and i go out of town next week. my big goal is to have at least 5 pieces listed in my etsy store before leaving on tuesday for atlanta...so far i just need to make one more piece and then just list them.

the hard part for me is listing the pieces...i'm afraid that i won't give enough info or that i'll give too much, that i'll price too high or worse for me, that i'll price too low and not make any kind of profit! guess i just have to wait and see...i've tried the etsy thing before with other crafty things and sold nothing after 4 months of listing, but i didn't really promote myself all that well-a problem that i plan to solve this go round! oh, well...off to make more pieces, i feel the need to add more bracelets and maybe some earrings!

i am so lazy!

i am so lazy...i haven't made a singe jewelry piece since last saturday! well, that's not completely true now that i think about it, i did re-do one piece the other night. but still i need to be much better since i really need to get going on this whole jewelry selling business! i have taken my first steps and signed up for my moms club sale in may...that will be my first test! i'm excited and nervous all at the same time!

i'll be working on some new things this week, along with finally finishing some kind of outfit for j, and getting more squares done for my first evert crochet block exchange. this looks like it's going to be yet another busy week for me...guess i really should stop being so lazy and get more done!

my newest creations

i had a great weekend...the kids went with my folks so i got to shop at a local bead store that i've wanted to visit for a while now. so here's what i made from a few of the beads that i purchased. i just love working with mother of pearl and shell beads! i'm thinking that these will be some of the first things that i try to sell once i get everything set up.

i didn't get j's outfit finished in time for her birthday but she decided to wear something else so that made me feel alright! i'm off to try to finish it today, get started on some crochet squares for a swap, and try to make a few more jewelry pieces. on top of all that i still have my daily housecleaning duties...busy day, busy week!

my first blog!

i'm so excited! i'm taking my first steps to starting my own home based craft business and wanted to have a place to vent about all my upcoming experiences! in the coming days i'll post some pics of all my projects...for now i'm off to finish my little girl's birthday outfit for tomorrow and clean the house before all the dust and laundry rise up and revolt!
