I'm still living and breathing...

Phew! I'm sooooo bad at this blogging thing. I really, really do want to post more often. I promise! So, I'm going to make up a schedule for myself to post at least once every 2 weeks. That means twice a month or so I'm going to set a reminder in my calendar to log onto my blog and post whatever it may be that I want to post about.

Originally, I wanted this blog to be dedicated to everything that I do regarding my jewelry creating and Etsy shop. Well, I do do other things in my life too and I think that because I spend some much time filling orders, I don't have enough energy to write about what I'm doing in regards to jewelry making. So, from here on out I'm going to post about anything and everything I feel like posting about. It's a start of a whole new blog! :)

Recently I've gotten back into knitting. I think it's because I really needed another hobby to occupy my time than just silver wire. Don't get me wrong, I love jewelry making; however, I'm filling silver orders for headpins and earwires almost everyday and I think I'm all pooped out for creating and thinking up new designs. I'm currently still working full time as well at my office job and I hope to be giving that up soon and dedicating most of my time to my "at home" business. Maybe by Fall!! I'm so excited, you don't even know. This little brain of mine needs sometime to release all of the inventive ideas I have swimming around.

Back to the knitting, I also took up spinning because of course I think that I have 48 hours in a day versus 24 like all the other folks out there. Who needs sleep?! I'm loving knitting again. It really brings me back to why I love crafting in the first place - making a handmade item that I can be proud of saying I made with my own little hands. I'm currently taking a BSJ (Baby Surprise Jacket for those of you non-knitters that need to just give in and learn how to knit. You know you want to!) class at my LYS (local yarn store) VYT (Village Yarn and Tea) in Shoreline. Oh yeah, I'm an expert at all my knitting abbreviations! :) The class is a freakin' blast! There's only 6 of us ladies plus the teacher, but everyone is super sweet and we all seem to be in the same place as far as knitting skills are concerned. I just had my second class last night out of a series of 4. I'd say we are about 1/2 of the way through the sweater even though my knitting item does not resemble a sweater one bit, but I'm keeping my hopes high because of course it's called the Baby "Surprise" Jacket.

Alright, I think I wrote enough to make up for the several month hiatus I took. Don't wanna over do it now. Be back in two weeks or maybe sooner....
