Tweet, Tweet!

Just a quick hello and to say... I have a new item on Etsy It's so darn cute! I am having so much fun finding props for my jewelry, it's all I think about these days.

Last night my brother brought over his dogs for me to watch while he goes to Hawaii for a week. Must be nice!  They are very active little guys which keep me on my toes because I never know what trouble they're going to get into next.  I have some cute photos of the little monsters but I cant seem to find them right now. I'll post them a little later.

Keeping busy

Such excitement around here. Since I started my Etsy shop I have had 3 sales. WooHoo!!! From what I've been told that's pretty unusual. I need to get more items listed, but I want to put something other than cupcakes which means I need to take photos. Hopeful I'll get photos taken tomorrow. My mantra will be, photos, photos, photos, until I get them done!

Feb 11, 12 & 13 I went to the Madrona Fiber Art conference in Tacoma, WA. which was a total blast. I didn't take any classes this year I just went to hang out and it was nice to do just that. I did sell a bunch of my spinning hooks to Morgaine of Carolina Homespun. I didn't think she would need more but she sure did and fortunately I bought a nice selection with me.

When I got home I had an order for cupcake beads from Fusion Beads, which I got made and delivered already.

We also have a new student living with us. Humm, guess I never mentioned about being an International Host. Dan and I have been hosting students from other country on and off for about 14 years now. We have one student from Brazil and this new one is from Korea. Both are very nice people and very fun to have around the house.

I've also been doing quite a bit of spinning. I bought the most yummy fiber (got to find the tag). It's merino/silk blend died a beautiful sea foam blue. The stuff spun like butter! I never wanted it to end. So now I have it in my head that i need to buy a whole lot of Merina/silk fiber to die myself. I love to die fiber and this combo should be fun to play with.

Starting anew

Well, it's been how long since I've last posted on my blog??? Amazing how time fly's. Really, I just haven't had much to say, but it's a new year and it's time to start up the blogging again cause I got things to say. So here we go....

I've been really busy with lots of new things. I'm really trying to focus on my business (that would be my jewelry business) and so far things are going well. I finally figured out how to us my camera, so I'm now able to take photos of my jewelry. And with the ability of taking photos I was able to get some of my jewelry listed on my Etsy site. I now have 4 cupcake necklaces listed and I'm thrilled to death. It's such an accomplishment. Oh, and I even sold one necklace within the first 24 hours of listing my items. Now how cool is that! I have more things to list but I'm pacing myself.

Today I made chocolates. very yummy (to lazy to post a photo right now) and tomorrow I'm heading for Madrona fiber arts in Tacoma. I wont be taking any classes this year but I'm going to stay with my Friend Anne-Marie (who has a class everyday) and just hang out and spin. Maybe I'll even knit a bit but since I got my Pocket Wheel all I want to do is spin and that is my intentions for the next 2 1/2 days. Cant wait!!!

Oh, there is so much to catch up on but I think I'll save that for another day. It's been a long day and I'm ready to go vet for 1/2 hour and off to bed.
