So as you can see I haven’t been in here for a while again. Time just keeps slipping away. Most days I don’t even get time to craft and this really does displease me.
As you all know I was going to a craft fair. Well I would like to say that I did alright. I didn’t do as well as I had hoped I would but I made a few sales so I guess it was pretty good. I really wish I had time to create more. This way I would have had a wider selection to offer people. I’m really hoping that during the next year I can create more handcrafted items and then possibly try to sell them during the next Christmas craft season. But with the way life has been going these days I honestly think that’s probably a pipe dream.
But you never know. So yes, I would do another craft fair again.

As you can all see by my little image posted here, I was doing a little bit of playing around today. Lately I have found that bloggging has become a little bit boring so I have been slacking off quite a bit.
When I first started this blog it was to showcase all my works of art as well as to give some helpful hints and advice on different aspects in crafting. Well somewhere along the way I have lost my focus and haven’t been updating this blog as much as I should be.
So I’ve decided to try to get myself back into the swing of things. Right now I have decided to dress up this blog a little bit so it doesn’t look so boring. Every once in a while you will see something different on here ( but it will pertain to crafting) and this will hopefully keep me motivated. So wish me luck and if I start to digress once again, please someone find a smilely that will kick me in the butt.

You’ve probably been wondering what I’ve been up to for the past few days. Well now I’m going to tell you all!
A couple of days ago, I stopped in to our newest store in town. That would be the newest beading and jewelry supply store. Well, of course I picked up a few supplies (just couldn’t help myself 
). After I had made my purchases the owner of the store told me that if I needed any help with anything just ask. So I did. I haven’t been able to make earrings and I really wanted to learn so I could add them to my sets.
Well she showed me how to make earrings and when I got home I tried to make them myself. And….I was able to do it!! So for the past few days I have been making earrings, necklaces and bracelets. My motivation has returned and I couldn’t be happier.

Today was the first opportunity I have had to visit the new bead and jewelry store that just opened up in our area. I had planned on being the first customer in the store. But with two little people coming down sick and then me getting it as well, my plans really didn’t work out the way I thought they would.
But, today I had to go into town to purchase a few bits of groceries (I kind of depleted our toilet paper stash with my runny nose) so I decided to stop in this new store as well. Although it’s quite a small store, she has a lot of variety in beads, supplies and findings and her prices are really good. So after making a few purchases (I know I shouldn’t have) I informed her that I will be back in the not to distant future.
If she keeps her prices the way they are now, I can see myself going back time and time again.
