2nd Day of Blogging!!!

I'm back and making progress... Since the last post I have fell in love with chain and Swarovski Crystal. Such a beautiful combination. (Pictures coming soon)

I made a bracelet for the Barista at my local Starbucks... can't wait to give to her. This is my first gift to someone outside of my family... I hope she likes it. I am also in the process of making another bracelet for my Calligraphy instructor, Kitty Pechet http://kittypechet.com/ for our last class. I actually confided in a few members of the class about my aspirations of selling the pieces I make and she encouraged me to bring something in. Uhh, I am a little nervous. I hope she likes it. I value her opinion on my work. We will see what happens!!! Wish me luck(:

Ok. To stay on track I would really like to perfect this chain and Swarovski bracelet project... One piece at a time. It is important to pay attention to the process. Sometimes I can trail off and get lost in my head and I would prefer to be attentive and alert.  I hope someone, one day will appreciate the attention put into the piece.

Later Gator.

Best,
Simone

My First Day...

Who are you? and Why do feel it is necessary for YOU to start a blog???

Good question. My name is Simone and I am a crafter. I live at home with my parents and all my life I have been extremely family oriented. I love my parents, I love my brother and all of my extended family. I have worked in an office environment for the last five years and recently got laid off. Now I am home with a lot of time on my hands... Sound interesting? (:

I love making jewelry, cards, wall hangings and I LOVE to knit. But thus far in my life I have not shared my work or done anything in any methodical order in terms of crafts and I would like to change that. So here is a list of what I would like to accomplish.

Start and COMPLETE projects...
       Meaning: everything I START... I FINISH... I may choose to go in a different direction within
       a project and that is my creative decision. (For example. If something simply doesn't look "right")

Create a rhythm of some sort. Where I am able to track progress and work completed.

Start an ETSY store... my dream for some time now.

I have a lot to plow through but I hope to enjoy the journey. I hope to share my journey honestly with my viewers. (I hope I get viewers)  mmmm. Who woulda thunk this blog thing would take so much thought. lol? I hope I am making sense. We will see what happens. I will be back tomorrow!!!
