I will be glad when this is over, I’ve had ideas brewing in my head for things to work on, and I signed up for a membership at beadsandbeading.com so that I can learn a few techniques with polymer clay that I don’t know how to do yet, and I’d really like to get started on some of that!  But this project has left me little time in the evenings after work to do much of anything but get dinner, relax a little while eating, then get my daughter ready for and into bed, and then start working on some tasks for the project at work, and finally go to bed myself.

The exception was yesterday, since I had completed some extra tasks on Friday (2/3rd of my set number for Saturday), I decided to leave the last 1/3rd for Sunday and take Saturday for myself.  Well, it was also because my daughter was invited to a birthday party across town, and I knew when I got back from that, since she would be staying overnight at her grandmother’s house, that I sure wasn’t going to want to do any work-work… So I went out to dinner with my husband and we hung out for the evening.  I couldn’t muster the motivation to start any jewelry or polymer clay work that evening, knowing I wouldn’t be able to pick it up again who knows when.  So when my husband started playing a first-person shooter video game (I can’t handle watching those, they make me nauseous), I went back to my office/craft room and started reading some of the older posts at Beadsandbeading.com, and noting which back issues I may want to order at some point.  And I also did a blog post here for a Crazy Train rider.

So anyway, if we keep up this speed on how we’re getting through our task list, I am hoping that maybe by this weekend, or early next week, we won’t have to worry about doing any extra work from home and can actually get our own lives back to do with as we choose.  That will be nice indeed.

My e-commerce page is technically still around, I just moved it to a different directory.  To be honest I just wasn’t interested in keeping it up and whatnot, since if the shopping cart needed to be updated, I had to do it all manually, and well, I just don’t have the time for that anymore.  I need something that will be quick and easy to post to, and to maintain.

I also re-branded myself with an updated logo and business card. I still need to send off my design to the printers, but it may be a few weeks before I can do that financially.

Eventually I would like to get some sort of gallery, too, but for now this will have to do just so there isn’t a plain ol’ blank page staring me or any visitor in the face when they show up here.

Anyway.  I’m still kind of building up a small inventory before I really go “live”, but I’ll be sure to update here when the time comes to announce that my wares are available for purchase again.

In the meantime, just leave a comment if there is some custom piece of jewelry you would like to inquire about having me make and we’ll talk.

Later for now!
