Around the House

As is most often the case these days, this afternoon found me at home working on new pieces, editing photos and packaging up orders.  As the holidays creep closer I am trying to gear up for what I hope will be a busy season.  This is my first holiday season selling jewelry full time so I'm not entirely sure what to expect.  I have a lot of plans though, and I'm excited to put them into action.  I am trying (and mostly succeeding) to keep a cool head and not get overwhelmed by all of the million "To-Do's" constantly running through my head.  The pile of lists on my desk is getting pretty ridiculous. Still, I couldn't be happier than when  I'm sitting at my desk in my bright, cozy home, golden evening light streaming in the window, creating something and getting paid for it.  How cool is that?!

The light was so pretty this evening I  thought I'd take a few photos.  Enjoy!

New Jewelry Desk!

Recently I began to feel like all of my tools, beads and supplies were slowly closing in on me at my tiny desk.  So, in honor of being fully self-employed, I had my amazingly talented and kind father create a bigger, better, more efficient space for me to work at, and I am SO ecstatic about the results! Frequently we'll be sitting around, say having dinner (because, yes, our kitchen, living room, and work space are all in the same room), and I'll look over at my new desk and just start geeking out about how much "I LOVE MY NEW DESK!!"

No, seriously though, having a space that is not only efficient but also beautiful makes me really happy.  And, to top it all off, it's right next to the woodstove!  I can hardly wait to cozy up with a cup of tea on winter mornings and create.
