What I did with those aquamarine stones
- Sunday, May 13, 2007
Hi all! Well, I finally found something to do with those gorgeous aquamarine stones. One of my uncles is having a health situation. He has a tumor on his small intestine which is causing all sorts of problems and which must come out during a surgery. They have no health insurance so a friend of theirs is sponsoring a benefit/auction for them where they live. I wanted to send something & since all the jewelry I have already made is made from little known stones & may not inspire bidding - who, after all has heard of aragonite or amazonite? - I decided I would put those aquamarines to good use. I've made a necklace & earrings & they will be shipping out from here to Michigan on Monday. I'm just hoping they will bring in some money for my aunt & uncle & their family. I hope they help. Photos are below...

Welcome back to me!
- Sunday, May 06, 2007
Hi all,
I'm back. Here's the lowdown. I got burnt out. Big time! I put myself on a major schedule of making jewelry and blogging and submitting and linking and many, many other marketing things that I was supposed to do, oh, daily.
So, I took a breath and took a break. I pretty much quit doing it all. I finally am back, but am definitely more balanced. I'm never putting myself on a schedule again - unless I have a show coming up, maybe then. I actually am still supposed to do that one soon. But I refuse to stress it. I've gotten the props, I've got my pieces. I don't think I'm gonna have a book of designs like I thought. It's just too much darn trouble - unfortunately. You know what though? I think I'll set up a gallery of all the designs I've sold on my website & then people can go there & browse. That would be great!
So, here I am. I finally got my blog set up on my own server & have applied my web template to it. I'm very proud!
I also made my first necklace in I-don't-know-how-long today. So, I'm back and ready to go. Well, till vacation anyway.
Well, I'm sure I'll put fingers to keys again soon & maybe have some photos to share! Thanks for reading!
