What a Day!

So, work (real work, that is) has been crazy hectic with deadlines out the WaZoo and today was of course no exception. BUT, my day was made infinitely better by the fact that I made 5 sales this morning!!! Yep, you read that right, 5 whole sales! I'm still excited about it! Very cool.

Now I've got some re-stocking to do at the store. I spent all last night posting all of my rainy day creations. You know, all those pieces I had ample time to work on due to the crazy Texas rains we were having. The first picture is a bracelet that I am now in love with. I was going to make it a necklace, but I stopped midway and thought it would look great as a bracelet...and it DOES!


I've had these little strawberry beads sitting around for a while wondering what I would do with them. So I made these little earrings. They look so cute on! I'm pretty happy with them!

So, in summation, it's been a busy few weeks. Now, I think I'll get back to working on some items to list in the shop. Maybe I'll spark up the torch and make some new glass bits! I haven't been on my torch in FOREVER it seems. I need to get back to it and stop letting real life get in the way. *Sigh* Ok, first ice cream, then creations!
Have a good evening out there in the blogosphere.

Sales, Updates, and New stuff

I figured I should up date the old bloggin before any of my readers decided I was just a flash-in-the-pan one time poster. It's been a crazy-hectic week at work. I really realize why they call them DEADlines. (FYI, I'm an editor for an educational publisher here in Texas and as such, deadlines are my life) And just as a quick disclaimer, I may be hyper-grammar queen on the clock, but here in the old blog, I let things slide. I find it far too mind-numbing to bring the office home with me and apply it to forums such as this blog. Here, it's all casual, all the time!

That said, here are some beautiful lavender jade earrings that I just listed in my store last night. They're very girly and dangly and I'm so happy with how they turned out! And can I just say, I love taking pictures of my earrings on this white soup mug. I think it looks so cool! My uber-talented boyfriend usually takes most of the pictures for my store (which is why they all look sooo tasty!) But I actually took these and I think they turned out quite alright!



Above is another creation I added to the old store last night. It's the first bracelet that I've listed. I just love those agate medallions! Speaking of my store, I just made my second sale today!! It was such an awesome feeling! I've been selling on etsy for about 2 weeks and I've had 2 sales. May not sound like much to most people, but it takes a lot to be singled out on etsy for even just 1 sale, so I am optimistic! There's more hard work on my part to get my name out there, but I'm more than willing to put in the effort! :-)

Well, I think that's all I have in me for my 2nd post. I hope everyone has had a good week. Catch you on the flipside!
