Ah, to be productive...

Today was a lovely day!

Actually woke up at a decent hour (woo-hoo!) and spent some quality time with the love of my life before he went to work. I worked on a few projects and the actually got around to photographing some of the latest pieces- something I did not expect to have the energy for today.

I posted these:



I'm quite pleased with both of them, since both were neither planned nor expected to be worth posting. It's funny how having the TV on as background noise makes me productive for hours. Background noise is definitely very important.

I'm actually kind of sad that I'm going to start real grown-up work again now that I'm on a roll with the jewelry stuff. But being able to pay for supplies is important (as is my career, I suppose) so I guess work will have to be tolerated :)

Preliminary sketches are being made for some sheet metal designs.

To be continued...?

Working on this jewelry stuff is a lot harder than I had anticipated. I knew it would be a lot of work, but I really didn't consider how much time would go into getting everything up and running.

Etsy has very quickly become a huge part of my life. It's pretty much all I think about...

I was working on some mini business cards from moo.com last night. I was really impressed with all of the options and, if I decide to get some, I'm sure the range of artwork on the front of mine will be quite wide. What can I say, I am amazingly multifaceted. If I were to order some, I'd probably just use them to put into packages. I'm such a chicken!

I'm glad to have something to focus on that isn't unemployment. That aspect of life right now is a huge headache.

Anywho. More later. Maybe some sketches??
