so here’s some pix of some of the recent gemstones i purchased. lovely don’t you think?
Lost…and Found
well hello everyone! (whoever that reads my blog…)
did anyone think i got lost since i haven’t posted in months? i don’t really know why i didn’t keep up, well, that’s not really true…i just got lazy and the lack of interest in my blog made me lose motivation to keep it up. but, now i’m back sort of. one of my delphi forum and etsy friends asked if i had a blog. well, yes, but i wasn’t keeping it up. so since she asked and i gave the url to my blog, i guess i’m gonna have to do some writing now and then to keep her, and any of you that reads my blog, interested in visiting here every so often. my forum/etsy friend also has her own blog: http://tomoko-etsy.blogspot.com . she’s from japan and her english isn’t very good so she needs to use translating software, so please be patient and understanding. she is a very nice person and has done very well with her etsy shop.
so what have i been up to? not much except for the daily grind of work and family. haven’t had enough time to work at my beading like i want to. i’m currently in the middle of increasing some inventory for the local pet expo coming up on mother’s day weekend. i’m making doggie necklaces for the chihuahua club to sell for me. they’ll be getting a donation from the sales of the necklets, as i like to call them. i’ll try to post a few pix when i can.
i haven’t added any new jewelry to my etsy store, but i did make a few sales of headpins i listed. i also opened another etsy store…for my extras beads and supplies. why open another etsy store when i could just sell them from my first store? well, i’m a neat freak and i like to keep my finished jewelry separate from the “loose” stuff. and besides, i can only have 10 sections (categories) in a store, so i thought better to save the unused sections for new categories of finished jewelry that i haven’t come up with yet.
personally, the daughter will be four years old in 18 days. how quickly they grow up, and yet, not grow up fast enough! if any of you are a parent, then you know what i’m talking about, i hope. one minute she can be so sweet and good natured, the next she’ll be a tyrant and have a fit. <sigh>
back to a beading note…i’ve been spending way too much money lately on gemstone beads and brios that it’s taking a toll on the checkbook! they’re wonderful gems, pink and green amethyst, smoky topaz, citrine…oh, so costly! anybody want to buy some of my extras? check out my etsy store: http://leighbeads.etsy.com . convo me that you found me through my blog (and you have to name my blog) and i’ll give you a 20% discount on your purchases. (this offer expires 12-31-07).
okay, that’s all from me for now. until next time…
