Focus

I don't mean to abandon this blog entirely. Things have just been incredibly busy. That's the obvious reason, but there's just an underlying I don't have a vision for this blog. Part of me wants it to just be about my life and just post whatever I want- Etsy stuff, spiritual thoughts, Julian & Jane updates, product reviews, etc. Everything I've read though seems to discourage mixing business and personal stuff on a blog. For example, I'm the Captain of the Tampa Bay Etsy Crew and I do represent the group publicly, but I wouldn't want my blog to reflect on the group because it's not politically or religiously neutral at all! The group has to be both of those things. At the same time, I love having my blog on my business cards and letting my customers know I'm a person and artist and not a mass manufacturer. I just don't know what I'll end up doing.

Messy Messy

Friday, September 28th~

My stressful mess...

This is what an eBay week looks like. It drives me nuts for my business stuff to overflow and get all over the house, but really this house is way too small to run any sort of business out of. Hopefully most of this pile will sell. I've decided not to buy or shop for any more inventory until I get my living spaces back.

The sad thing is if I let go of all the baby stuff, I'd have room. I'm worried that as soon as I do though, something will happen that we would need it. Maybe that's wishful thinking. When we got all that stuff, we got really good quality because we expected to use it for more than just one baby. =(

The First Touch Mission Fashion Show Exclusive

September 24th~ One of the best parts of having my own business is being able to support good causes. I donate every year to the Bay AreaPregnancy Center and Links of Hope. I get approached by other charities as well and I always pick a few to donate product to.

This Saturday this set will be in an auction benefiting The First Touch Mission & Hope House. My sister-in-law works with this group and asked if I'd be part of their fundraiser. It's actually going to be a fashion show accompanied by the auction.

The First Touch Mission helps women transitioning from prison to freedom improve their chances of success and greatly reduce their chances of returning. The Hope House provides alternative placement for women being released from the Florida Prison System. First Touch is committed to helping women break old patterns and setting them on a path to becoming productive contributors of society. What a great, and desperately needed, program!

The Biz

Thursday, May 10, 2012~

I like beading. I like staging photos. I like when people absolutely love a piece. I like almost everything to do with having a jewelry business. I say almost because the thing I don't like is how much time is involved. I've been on the computer so much this week that my fingers are stiff in the morning. Once I finish updating my shop though, I am taking a break!
